DANGEROUS DISCOURSES KARTONIERT (TB)

Dangerous Discourses brings together new work by feminist scholars who provide a multifaceted
view of the ways contemporary media discourses inscribe particular understandings of gendered
social identities  gun violence  and public policy. The chapters examine multiple media
locations where discourses about guns and violence against women proliferate  including social
media  mainstream news  National Rifle Association-sponsored magazines  gun research  public
policy debates  popular magazines  and television drama. Utilizing theory and empirical
research  this book helps us see more clearly how gender  sexuality  and other intersecting
identities must be included in analysis of media discourses of guns and gendered violence. The
authors discuss the role of patriarchal ideologies  and center feminist thought and concerns in
order to get beyond the one-liners  sound bites  and truisms about bad guys  the Second
Amendment  mental health  and personal freedom that currently dominate public debates about
guns and violence. With its unique views on the ways gun violence and gender inflect each other
in the United States  this book is designed for courses in media studies  women's studies  and
sociology.
