{"product_id":"media-crossroads-paula-j-massood-9781478010616","title":"Media Crossroads: Intersections of Space and Identity in Screen Cultures","description":"The contributors to \u003ci\u003eMedia Crossroads\u003c\/i\u003e examine space and place in media as they intersect with sexuality, race, ethnicity, age, class, and ability. Considering a wide range of film, television, video games, and other media, the authors show how spaces--from the large and fantastical to the intimate and virtual--are shaped by the social interactions and intersections staged within them. The highly teachable essays include analyses of media representations of urban life and gentrification, the ways video games allow users to adopt an experiential understanding of space, the intersection of the regulation of bodies and spaces, and how style and aesthetics can influence intersectional thinking. Whether interrogating the construction of Portland as a white utopia in \u003ci\u003ePortlandia\u003c\/i\u003e or the link between queerness and the spatial design and gaming mechanics in the \u003ci\u003eLegend of Zelda\u003c\/i\u003e video game series, the contributors deepen understanding of screen cultures in ways that redefine conversations around space studies in film and media. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Contributors.
