Constructing Girlhood
Author: Penny Tinkler
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1135344612
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
This text explores the contribution of magazines to the social construction of female adolescence during a historical period of rapid change and locates the role of magazines in the lives of contemporary girls. In addressing this theme, the book explores the changing social, economic, political and cultural conditions which shaped, and continue to influence, the experience of girlhood. The author discusses key concepts such as adolescence and "girlhood" and outlines theories concerning the interpretation of gender relations, cultural production, meaning and reading.; The chapters use life-course events and changes such as schooling, work, entrance into relationships, marriage and motherhood as their main themes. The author discusses the importance attached to age and social class for the form and content of the magazines and explores the interlinked factors which contributed to decisions about what were legitimate concerns for girls - for example, publisher's objectives and culture; reader interests; and ideologies of femininity. The final chapter outlines the patterns of leisure consumption in this era, providing insights into the changing role of leisure in today's society.

War and Progress

Pages : 421
Book Description
This is an account of how the daily lives of ordinary peoples were changed, profoundly and permanently, by these three momentous decades 1914-1945. Often depicted in negative terms Peter Dewey finds a much more positive pattern in the wealth of evidence he lays before us. His is a story of economic achievement, and the emergence of a new sense of social community in the nation, rather than a saga of disenchantment and decline.

Dyl
Author: Mark Weinman
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350045829
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 122
Book Description
- Do you have to hold your breath? ... Can you do that? - Yeah. Anyone can. - Not me. Can't be doing without breath. I'd hate to drown. I'm a big fan of air ... 400 miles from home, James has started a new career as a rigger - two weeks onshore, two weeks offshore - existing between two very different spaces; and his daughter Dyl is with him in neither of them. Instead he has Ryan, his live-in landlord - sarcastic, free-spirited and liable to say what he thinks before he thinks what he says. As James focuses on finding the answers from within himself, he risks losing the very relationships that can keep him on track. Dyl is a sad comedy about isolation, the righting of wrongs and shouldering life's responsibilities. It received its world premiere on 9th May 2017 at The Old Red Lion Theatre, London
