{"product_id":"dawsons-creek-lori-bindig-9780739122228","title":"Dawson's Creek: A Critical Understanding","description":"\u003ci\u003eDawson's Creek: A Critical Understanding\u003c\/i\u003e provides a textual analysis of the WB's hit teen drama that ran from 1998 to 2003. Author Lori Bindig analyzes episodes of \u003ci\u003eDawson's Creek\u003c\/i\u003e as a set of media texts that blur the boundaries between hegemonic and counter-hegemonic content. Exploring the ideology encoded within \u003ci\u003eDawson's Creek\u003c\/i\u003e from a feminist cultural studies perspective, Bindig examines gender, race, class, sexuality, and consumerism as it is presented in the show. The depiction of each of these five ideological concepts is discussed beyond the framework of the series and put into a larger social context, allowing a discussion of the potential ramifications of the television program. This book suggests that although \u003ci\u003eDawson's Creek\u003c\/i\u003e includes counter-hegemonic story lines, ultimately the political-economic realities of the current media system undercuts the oppositional content and frames the program as hegemonic. Nevertheless, \u003ci\u003eDawson's Creek\u003c\/i\u003e is a valuable tool in navigating the ongoing struggle against social inequality, illustrating how far society has come and how far it has yet to go.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lori Bindig\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0739122223\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780739122228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.95h x 6.46w x 0.55d","brand":"Lori Bindig","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48587646271743,"sku":"9780739122228","price":57.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dawsons-creek-lori-bindig-9780739122228","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
