Angela McRobbie
Angela McRobbie (born 1951) is a British cultural theorist, feminist, and commentator whose work combines the study of popular culture, contemporary media practices and feminism through conceptions of a third-person reflexive gaze. She is a professor of communications at Goldsmiths College, University of London.McRobbie's academic research spans almost four decades, influenced by the work of Stuart Hall and the British sociologists of the school of Birmingham in its inception, and developed from the theoretical traditions of feminism and Marxism. McRobbie has authored many books and scholarly articles on young women and popular culture, gender and sexuality, the British fashion industry, social and cultural theory, the changing world of work and the new creative economy, feminism and the rise of neoliberalism.
Her most famous book ''The Aftermath of Feminism'' (2008, German edition published in 2010), draws on Foucault to decipher the various technologies of gender which are directed towards young woman as "subjects of capacity". Her book ''Be Creative? Making a Living in the New Culture Industries'' was published in 2016 by Polity Press.
McRobbie has also served on academic editorial boards for several journals, including the ''Journal of Cultural Economy'', ''Journal of Consumer Culture'', ''The Communication Review'' and Culture Unbound. She regularly contributes to BBC Radio 4 ''Woman's Hour'' and ''Thinking Allowed'', and has written for openDemocracy and ''The Guardian'''s Comment is Free. Provided by Wikipedia
