- Work That Body: Male Bodies in Digital Culture (Rowman & Littlefield International, 2019) represents the culmination of a five-year period of research into the cultural politics of the digital mediation of the sexualised male body. It argues that since the 2008 financial crash different categories of men have used digital media to sexualise their bodies as a way of negotiating living through neoliberalism. Taking a Gramscian approach, it analyses original interviews and different media texts to make this argument and in doing so makes a unique contribution to scholarly debates on gendered embodiment, digital media use and neoliberal culture.
