{"product_id":"9780367483272","title":"Imagining \"We\" in the Age of \"I\"","description":"Winner, MeCCSA Edited Collection of the Year, MeCCSA Outstanding Achievement Awards 2022In the early twenty-first century shifts in gender and sexuality, work and mobility patterns and especially technology have provoked interest in perceived threats to social bonding on a global scale. This edited collection explores the fracturing of couple culture but also its persistence.Looking at a variety of media sites—including film, television, popular print fiction, new media and new technologies—this volume’s diverse range of contributors examine how mediated scenes of intimacy proliferate, while real-life experiences are cast in a newly uncertain light. The collection thus challenges a latent but growing tendency towards perceptions of romantic decline, in a variety of cultural contexts and with attention to the impact of COVID-19. This is an accessible and timely collection suitable for scholars in gender studies, media, cultural studies and communication studies.","brand":"Mary Harrod, Suzanne Leonard, Diane Negra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45763991732542,"sku":"9780367483272","price":2396.77,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9780367483272_742c61bf-0392-4563-8b0e-e1431dfd652c.jpg?v=1707247411","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780367483272","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
