Hard Candy , Revenge, and the “Aftermath” of Feminism
This article discusses the film Hard Candy in relation to debates surrounding the meanings of feminism, post-feminism, and girl power. In particular, it explores the rape-revenge narrative as an articulation of ambiguous representations of young women and their relationship to both second-wave and third-wave feminisms. The central example discussed in this article presents a challenging and unsettling representation of a young teenage girl confro…
“If You Ever See This Video, We're Probably Dead”—A Boy's Own Heterotopia (Notes From An Inner London Playground)
This article draws on a 2-year research project focusing on children's playground games, and their relationship to popular media, in an inner London primary school. Extensive video recording of playground events was employed in the research. In addition, the children were invited to participate in documenting their own play using video camcorders. The article examines two inter-related videos made by one 11-year-old boy. Together, they provide on…

This article offers interpretations of play, in a school playground, where adult regulation and surveillance framed its enactment. Children, well aware of being watched, negotiated this through various forms of play, circumscribed by, but also playing with, adult supervision. The children were also subject to the rules governing particular age cohorts and both age and gender figured significantly in the patterns of play observed. The article argu…

Translations
This article examines the relationship between informal knowledge of popular film and its study in higher education. Through interviews, it explores the significance people give to their encounters with films and with critical discourses upon them. The interviewees’ class and gender positions variously constrain or motivate their educational aspirations and thus complicate the hope that film and media studies can successfully address ‘non-traditi…
Securing the self
This paper examines the social meaning of subject choice in the post‐16 context through a case study of Media Studies in a selective school. Students' accounts are discussed in terms of both their enjoyment of the subject and their negotiation of its ‘legitimacy’. The analysis of their comments in interviews stresses the subject's precarious position in a school where a relatively traditional hierarchy of subjects still prevails. It also consider…
What are we? adolescence, sex and intimacy in Buffy the Vampire Slayer
In the summer of 2001 Joss Whedon2 commented, in a telephone interview, that Buffy the Vampire Slayer is ‘basically saying that the world’s a scary, scary place and anybody who lives in it without

Women, Aging, and Cancer
Women over 65 bear high risk for developing cancer. The risk for developing most cancers grows'with increasing age. Of the 1.13 million people estimated to develop cancer in 1992,362,000 (32 percent) will be women over 65 years old (American Cancer Society, 1992). The few early detection and prevention programs that have focused on this age group have found that the women often have problems with utilization, misconceptions, and plain lack of cor…
