Postfeminist Digital Cultures

This book usefully examines the `social media practices and `digital self-representations of girls and young women that comes with increasing access to the Internet. Dobson s work contributes to a growing body of scholarship that frames girls and women as agentic and empowered individuals, in a postfeminist era. provides a head start for research in non-Western contexts, where work on postfeminism and postfeminist digital cultures has been scarce.

Postfeminist digital cultures gives us a deep insight into the complexity of online participation. It offers a nuanced, thoughtful and sympathetic analysis of the girls and young women negotiating postfeminist sensibility, while remaining critical of the cultural conditions of possibility that frame their negotiations. It is a must read for scholars established and developing interested in postfeminism, contemporary female subjectivity and digital cultures, while any of the analysis chapters should elicit a great student seminar discussion.
