Gender Identity, Cultural Authority, and Musicianship Among Tween Girls

Mediated Girlhoods, is an anthology devoted to scholarship on girls\u27 media culture. Taking a cultural studies approach, it includes studies of girls\u27 media representations, girls\u27 media consumption, and girls\u27 media production. In an attempt to push research on girls\u27 media culture in new directions, it responds to criticisms of previous research in this field by including studies of girls who are not white, middle-class, heterosexual, cisgender, or Western. Approaching girlhood, media, and methodology broadly, Mediated Girlhoods includes studies of such previously unexplored topics as girls\u27 mimetic communication via Tumblr, the girlyboy in independent Filipino cinema, Qatari girls\u27 film production, trans girlhood in advertising, Canadian girls\u27 feminist activism, and the new girl subject imagined in Disney\u27s Cinderella (2015)
