While the social construction
of femininity has been widely examined, the dominant
role of masculinity has until recently remained
largely invisible. Tough Guise is the first
educational video geared toward college and high
school students to systematically examine the
relationship between pop-cultural imagery and the
social construction of masculine identities in the
U.S. at the dawn of the 21st century.
In this innovative and wide-ranging analysis,
Jackson Katz argues that widespread violence in
American society, including the tragic school
shootings in Littleton, Colorado, Jonesboro,
Arkansas, and elsewhere, needs to be understood as
part of an ongoing crisis in masculinity.
This exciting new media literacy tool-- utilizing
racially diverse subject matter and examples-- will
enlighten and provoke students (both males and
females) to evaluate their own participation in the
culture of contemporary masculinity.
Award-winning media critics Jackon Katz and Jean
Kilbourne decode the glamorized stories media tell
about alcohol, and contrast them with the often
disturbing and dangerous ways that alcohol
consumption affects the lives of real young men and
women.
Jean
Kilbourne's award-winning video offers an in-depth
analysis of how female bodies are depicted in
advertising images and the devastating effects of
those images on women's health. Addressing the
relationship between these images and the obsession
of girls and women with dieting and thinness,
Slim Hopes offers a new way to think about
life-threatening eating disorders such as anorexia
and bulimia, and a well-documented critical
perspective on the social impact of advertising.
