This collection of essays presents a sampling of film and television texts, interrogating images of U.S. masculinity. Rather than using postfeminist as a definition of contemporary feminism, this collection uses the term to designate the period from the late 1980s on--as a point when feminist thought gradually became more mainstream. The movies and TV series examined here have achieved a level of sustained attention, from critical acclaim, to mass appeal, to cult status. Instead of beginning with a set hypothesis on the effect of the feminist movement on images of masculinity on film and television, these chapters represent a range of responses, that demonstrate how the conversations within these texts about American masculinity are often open-ended, allowing both male characters and male viewers a wider range of options.
