By contrast, close examination of \u003ci\u003eThe Hunger Game\u003c\/i\u003es (2008–2010), \u003ci\u003eGirlhood\u003c\/i\u003e (2014) and \u003ci\u003eCatch Me Daddy \u003c\/i\u003e(2014) reveals that contemporary genres are increasingly constructing girls as uniquely capable of resiliently overcoming and adapting to unforgiving social conditions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe develops an affective vocabulary to better understand contemporary modes of defiant, transformative and relational resilience, as well as a framework through which to expand on further modes that are specific to the genres they emerge within. Overall, the book suggests that exploration of the affective dimensions of girls’ and women’s culture can offer new insights into how coming-of-age, girlhood and femininity are culturally produced in the aftermath of postfeminism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54002605097304,"sku":null,"price":107.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781350224988.jpg?v=1770905720","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/feel-bad-postfeminism-impasse-resilience-and-female-subjectivity-in-popular-culture","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
