Beskrivning
In the 21st century, films about the lives and experiences of girls and young women have become increasingly visible. Yet, British cinema’s engagement with contemporary girlhood has - unlike its Hollywood counterpart - been largely ignored until now. Sarah Hill’s Young Women, Girls and Postfeminism in Contemporary British Film provides the first book-length study of how young femininity has been constructed, both in films like the St. Trinians franchise and by critically acclaimed directors like Andrea Arnold, Carol Morley and Lone Scherfig. Hill offers new ways to understand how postfeminism informs British cinema and how it is adapted to fit its specific geographical context. By interrogating UK cinema through this lens, Hill paints a diverse and distinctive portrait of modern femininity and consolidates the important academic links between film, feminist media and girlhood studies.

Recensioner i media

Given its centering of contemporary representations of girlhood in British cinema, Sarah Hill’s monograph is a welcome addition to girls’ media studies, which heretofore has been dominated by research on American texts, not to mention British film studies, which has focused overwhelmingly on adult-centered texts. With close attention to nationally specific class and gender politics, as well as creative traditions and transformations, this book offers new ways for understanding recent mediated depictions of British girlhood within their specific industrial and sociocultural contexts.
