Girl Wide Web by Sharon R Mazzarella

Girl Wide Web by Sharon R Mazzarella

Given the rapidly growing presence of girls online, serious academic inquiry into the relationship between girls and the Internet is imperative. Girl Wide Web is an innovative collection of cutting-edge research exploring a wide sweep of issues related to the ways adolescent girls interact with the Internet. Employing a range of methodologies and theoretical perspectives primarily within cultural studies, the authors examine a variety of topics - from instant messaging and web-diaries to online fan communities and Internet advertising that targets young girls. Taken together, these essays provide a rich portrait of the complex relationship among girls, the Internet, and the negotiation of identity.

Sharon R. Mazzarella (Ph.D., University of Illinois) is Professor and Director of the School of Communication Studies at James Madison University. Her research interests are in girls' studies and the representational politics of mediated portrayals of youth. She is editor of 20 Questions about Youth and the Media (Peter Lang, 2007), Girl Wide Web: Girls, the Internet, and the Negotiation of Identity (Peter Lang, 2005), and co-editor of Growing Up Girls: Popular Culture and the Construction of Identity (Peter Lang, 1999).
