Postfeminism and Paternity in Contemporary US Film

More about the book

Focusing on representations of fatherhood in popular cinema, this book explores how these portrayals relate to postfeminist culture. It argues that the concept of postfeminist fatherhood has emerged as a new form of hegemonic masculinity, examining the implications of these cultural narratives on contemporary understandings of masculinity and fatherhood. Through critical analysis, it sheds light on the evolving dynamics between gender roles in the context of film and societal expectations.
