Beschreibung

In contemporary popular culture, armed women take center stage - but how can they be read? How do films, comics, and TV series depict the newly fashionable gunwomen between objectification and feminist empowerment? The contributors to this volume from cultural studies, history and art history examine military memoirs and civic gun cultures, the rediscovery of historical armed women and revolutionaries, cultural phenomena such as gangsta rap, narcocultura and US politics, Bollywood and French cinema, and distinct genres such as the graphic novel, the romance novel or the German police procedural Tatort.
