Reading Sex and the City

This highly readable critical celebration of the life and times of Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha looks at the series as a new departure for television and American culture. It discusses the show's position in an increasingly complex television landscape, and pioneers innovative approaches to the study of contemporary television culture. The book explores, among many other issues, female fandom and fan culture; fashion and fashion journalism; male archetypes and the search for Mr. Right; third wave feminism; and of course, sex and the single girl. The book includes a full episode guide and is sure to be a handy reference for students of television, gender studies, and American popular culture.Akass, Kim is the author of 'Reading Sex and the City', published 2004 under ISBN 9781850434238 and ISBN 1850434239.
