[Commlist] new International Encyclopedia of Gender, Media and Communication published

/The International Encyclopedia of Gender, Media, and Communication 
/comprises 260 entries by an international team of both established and 
emerging scholars in the field. This innovative resource explores how 
gender is represented in media, who produces the content, and the ways 
in which audiences receive and understand media messages. The 
contributors offer original insights on diverse aspects of gender in 
film, television, visual media, social and digital media and more.

Three alphabetically-organized volumes explore contexts and issues, 
production, fiction and non-fiction representation, and audience 
consumption. Each entry provides an overview of the topic, a list of 
additional readings, and cross-references to related entries in the 
encyclopedia. Sub-topics are thematically organized, covering a wide 
range of issues, genres, and media formats. Comprehensive and 
up-to-date, the encyclopedia places gender at the centre of both 
historical and contemporary debates in the broad field of media and 
communication. This unique work:

  * Presents contemporary scholarship on a vast array of topics
    including film biographies, TV, film and radio histories and genres,
    gender representation in news, and screen-based entertainment media
  * Explores the concept of gender as both stereotype and non-conforming
    with essays dealing critically with issues around identity,
    sexuality, and intersectionality
  * Includes essays which range from women film producers to the boy
    detective, from queer cinema to political communication, from gender
    and news to the racialized body, and many things in between
  * Acknowledges the importance of the digital media landscape with
    numerous essays on digital and social media, from online dating to
    the quantified self to feminist media activism
  * Discusses new research questions about the fusion of production,
    representation, and reception in media
