Description
Book SynopsisAn examination of the sound and silence of women in digital media.
Trade ReviewAn expansive text that looks to the past in order to look forward, [
Women's Voices in Digital Media] closes a critical gap in the theorization of women’s voices by revisiting, challenging, and extending classical conceptions in film studies and critical media studies, carrying them into the digital and transmedia age...O’Meara doesn’t just survey and update theory; she lays out a multifaceted framework for future analysis of the female voice across emerging technological and visual platforms. As rare as it is to find within a mature field like critical media studies a text that delivers a paradigmatic update on a major conceptual framework, Jennifer O’Meara has done just that. This will be the book to read for any and all scholarly work on the gendered voice and its intersections with technology and the screen. * Film Quarterly *
This is a timely and impressively researched exploration of the technological landscape of digital media and the 'productive revisions' of women’s voices, real or virtual...The analysis of women’s 'digital communities' and their navigation of new feminist politics offers up a rich new area of enquiry. * British Association for Film, Television and Screen Studies *
