What happens to gender at 120mph? Are Harley-Davidsons more masculine than Yamahas? The Gendered Motorcycle answers such questions through a critical examination of motorcycles in film, advertising and television. Whilst bikers and biker cultures have been explored previously, the motorcycle itself has remained largely under-theorised, especially in relation to gender. Esperanza Miyake reveals how representations of motorcycles can produce different gendered bodies, identities, spaces and practices. This interdisciplinary book offers new and critical ways to think about gender and motorcycles, and will interest scholars and students of gender, technology and visual cultures, as well as motorcycle industry practitioners and motorcycle enthusiasts.
Esperanza Miyake is a Lecturer in the Department of Languages, Information and Communications at Manchester Metropolitan University, UK, working on digital cultures, technology and society. Her research and publications examine gender, race and/or queerness in relation to a wide range of subjects in cultural and media studies, including motorcycles, music, technology and everyday life.
