Expand description
Screen Tastes is a collection of new and previously published essays on film and television from Charlotte Brunsdon, a leading feminist cultural critic. Essays range from British soap operas and crime series to Hollywood movies such as Working Girl and Pretty Woman. Brunsdon interprets the pleasures and meanings that these texts offer -- particularly for women -- as well as the nature of media criticism and the problematic aesthetics of popular culture. The focus of Screen Tastes is on the tastes and pleasures of the female consumer as she is produced by popular film and television -- and by feminist criticism.
