- Title
Women's Emotional Experiences of Chick Lit and Chick Flicks: An Ambivalent Audience.
- Authors
Rowntree, Margaret R.; Bryant, Lia; Moulding, Nicole
- Abstract
The article explores the affective space of women's experiences of the chick lit and chick flick genre and its feminine sexual representations based on an online survey of women living in Australia. A review of what scholars of chick lit and chick flicks have written about the genre's appeal is presented. It argues the value of exploring emotional experience in social research based on Raymond William's work on structures of feeling and a body of knowledge known as the sociology of emotions.
