- This 224-page monograph is based on five years research and contributes to developing debates in the emerging field of tween studies. Tweenhood is the first monograph focusing on the culturally-constructed subject of the tween in its own right, from a critical cultural and feminist perspective. It combines discursive textual analysis of a breadth of mainstream popular film, television and celebrity texts, and contextual analysis of postfeminism, neoliberalism, and complex shifting discourses of girlhood, feminism, sexuality and fatherhood in the US. It is equivalent in length to least four journal articles.
