Genere e media : scenari in movimento

This article reconstructs an overview of the recent and lively debate on Gender and Media Studies with reference to the Anglo-American and Italian contexts. The first part examines the main interpretative categories that have guided the analysis of the gender-media dyad, focusing on the new dimensions of both the concepts of gender and media, the intersectional approach, the relationship between femi-nism and postfeminism. The second part presents the articles selected for this spe-cial issue, which offer an interesting overview of studies and reflections ranging from digital environments to mainstream media and include contributions on little explored topics - at least in the Italian context - such as audiences and profes-sions in the cultural industries.
