Blurring Boundaries. "Media Matrix: Sexing the New Reality" by Barbara Creed. [review]

Abstract

Barbara Creed’s "Media Matrix: Sexing the New Reality" intersects with the present preoccupation with new global media forms and their implications for how we think about sex and the public. While the differences within feminism have long since made it impossible to write a book that accurately represents any singular feminist approach, "Media Matrix" sets out the cardinal theoretical points informing feminist critical theory: postmodernism, psychoanalysis, queer theory, globalisation. It also introduces key feminist writers over a range of cultural forms that one way or another make contact with feminine identity.
