Mediating the Family by Estella Tincknell
Taking as its starting point the 'problem' of how the family has been mediated in popular film, television, literature and social policy over the last 50 years, this book explores the ways in which struggles over sexuality, identity, gender and power have informed the conceptualisation and representation of the family as an institution.
'Mediating the Family is incisively written.. The book is valuable for bringing together a range of different sources about post-war life and media, and for conveying a sense of the profound shifts in gender relations in the last few decades.' Rosalind Gill, King's College, London, in the International Journal of Cultural Studies 'Estella Tincknell's book offers a comprehensive analysis of ...representations of the family and its complexities. Her knowledge of popular culture is extensive and her choice of examples enriches her theoretical discussion.' Gordana Rabrenovic, Northeastern University, Boston, USA, in the European Journal of Communication
