{"product_id":"postfeminist-whiteness-kendra-marston-9781474430302","title":"Postfeminist Whiteness: Problematising Melancholic Burden in Contemporary Hollywood","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the first extended study into the politics of whiteness inherent within postfeminist cinema, Kendra Marston interrogates representations of melancholic white femininity in contemporary Hollywood cinema, arguing that the 'melancholic white woman' serves as a vehicle through which to explore the excesses of late capitalism and a crisis of faith in the American dream. This figure may be idealised or scapegoated within these films, yet strategic performances of gendered melancholia may produce benefits for white female directors and stars disadvantaged within a patriarchal industry. Examining film genres including the tourist romance, the fantasy film and the psychological thriller, the book also contains case studies of films like \u003cem\u003eThe Virgin Suicides, Blue Jasmine, Gone Girl\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Girl on the Train\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kendra Marston\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474430309\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474430302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Kendra Marston","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941178638591,"sku":"9781474430302","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_784243b5-4209-4a10-885f-4a30d5d5836c.jpg?v=1681451379","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/postfeminist-whiteness-kendra-marston-9781474430302","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
