Episode 2 – Sexy or sexist? feminism, postfeminism and antifeminism

#2 Sexy or sexist? Feminism, postfeminism and antifeminism

The theme of this episode is postfeminism, or rather the changes in feminist waves and their entanglement with capitalist, neoliberal structures. Texts by Angela McRobbie and Rosalind Gill form the starting point for our examination of pop culture and arthouse in this context. A look at Barbara Albert’s Nordrand, Sabine Derflinger’s Anna Fucking Molnar (AT 2017) and the series Emily in Paris (US since 2020) apply these approaches to film practice and analysis.
