| Summary |
Media, Masculinities, and the Machine identifies a distinctive phenomenon in today''s media culture - the contemporary male fantasy of ''suiting up'' and pushing technology to its limits. The authors deconstruct this fantasy using two in-depth studies from American, British and global media: the social imagining of hi-tech in the long-running Transformers franchise and global Formula One motorsport, with links to numerous other areas of contemporary culture. By drawing on non-representational theory and the latest theories of affect while employing the method of autoethnography to explore what. |
