What is the significance of the rise of men's lifestyle magazines for gender politics? Are we witnessing a backlash against feminism or are they merely harmless fun? Why did lsquo;new man' give way to the lsquo;new lad'? What political issues do these questions raise within the context of the information society? \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMaking Sense of Men's Magazines\u003c\/i\u003e is an original study which enables us to understand the appeal of men's magazines, the ways in which they are constructed and understood, and many of the complex questions they raise for both men and women. Through interviews with editors and key production staff, an analysis of the content of men's magazines and focus group interviews, this work seeks to lsquo;make sense' of this cultural phenomenon. The authors give particular attention to the gendered and commercial character of men's magazines, and the implications they have for the way we understand capitalism, masculinity and consumption in the modern world.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book makes a major contribution to understanding the role of magazines in contemporary culture and will be essential reading for students of sociology, media and cultural studies and gender studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cb\u003ePeter Jackson\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Human Geography at the University\u003cbr\u003e of Sheffield, Nick Stevenson is a Lecturer in the Department of Sociological Studies, University of Sheffield, Kate Brooks is a postgraduate student in the Department of Geography at the University of Sheffield.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNick Stevenson\u003c\/b\u003e is a Lecturer in the Department of Sociological Studies, University of Sheffield\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKate Brooks\u003c\/b\u003e is a postgraduate student in the Department of Geography at the University of Sheffield\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e08 October 2001\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolity Press\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780745621760\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e224\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.84\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Polity Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44378479394956,"sku":"9780745621760","price":25.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780745621760_4fb8277a-211e-4a57-9a00-daddcd764bf5.jpg?v=1780240323","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780745621760","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
