Description

"Making Sense of Men's Magazines is a study which enables us to understand the appeal of men's magazines, the ways in which they are constructed and understood, and many of the complex questions they raise for both men and women. Through interviews with editors and key production staff, an analysis of the content of men's magazines and focus group interviews, this work seeks to 'make sense' of this cultural phenomenon. The authors give particular attention to the gendered and commercial character of men's magazines, and the implications they have for the way we understand capitalism, masculinity, and consumption in the modern world."--Jacket.

First Sentence

During the 1990s a new generation of men's 'lifestyle' magazines was launched which redefined the UK magazine market.
