This is a concise and accessible introduction into the concept of
objectification, one of the most frequently recurring terms in
both academic and media debates on the gendered politics of
contemporary culture, and core to critiquing the social positions
of sex and sexism.
Objectification is an issue of media representation and everyday
experiences alike. Central to theories of film spectatorship, beauty
fashion and sex, objectification is connected to the harassment and
discrimination of women, to the sexualization of culture and the
pressing presence of body norms within media. This concise guidebook
traces the history of the term’s emergence and its use in a
variety of contexts such as debates about sexualization and the male
gaze, and its mobilization in connection with the body, selfies and
pornography, as well as in feminist activism.
It will be an essential introduction for undergraduate and postgraduate
students in Gender Studies, Media Studies, Sociology,
Cultural Studies or Visual Arts.
