En Hollywood siempre representa el mismo papel: sostiene la mano del héroe mientras este corre entre las Pirámides, en busca de robots; lo molesta, o lo frustra, o sigue junto al gran hombre que se ocupa de su encantadora perdedora. Sin embargo, una «chica» así no es una persona. No es más que un complemento. Y teniendo un ideal tan deshumanizado de la mujer, ¿cómo se comportan las propias mujeres frente a los hombres? ¿Cómo se forma su idea de quiénes son y de lo que pueden llegar a ser? Desde Bugs Bunny hasta las conejitas de Playboy, pasando por Frozen y Flashdance, desde los progresistas años setenta hasta los retrógrados ochenta y los triunfalistas noventa, pasando por la subcultura de los «tipos convencionales» y la pornografía, Carina Chocano combina historias personales con un análisis perspicaz y poderosamente emotivo. Muestra cómo crecer bajo la sombra de «la chica» le enseñó a pensar en sí misma y en el mundo, y en lo que significaba criar a una hija frente a una imagen tan distorsionada como esa. En la línea de Roxane Gay, Rebecca Solnit o Susan Sontag, Chocano muestra de manera brillante que nuestra identidad es más fluida de lo que pensamos y desde luego más compleja de lo que puede verse en cualquier pantalla. Sobre el libro:  •Un análisis incisivo e inteligente sobre cómo los programas de televisión y las películas han socavado, a lo largo del tiempo, el papel de la mujer. •Premio Nacional de la Crítica 2017 en Estados Unidos. •Nominado al Premio PEN/Diamonstein Spielvogel de Ensayo.]]></description><link>https://grant.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C14620995</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://grant.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C14620995</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[spa]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chocano, Carina]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://grant.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/14620995981</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>Y otras historias irritantes que dicen a las mujeres quie´nes son (And Other Vexing Stories That Tel</subtitle><language>spa</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781638116165/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[You Play the Girl]]></title><description><![CDATA[As a kid in the 1970s and 80s, Carina Chocano was confused by the mixed messages all around her; messages that told her who she could be-and who she couldn't. Dutifully absorbing all the conflicting information the culture has to offer on how to be a woman, Chocano grappled with sexed up sidekicks, princesses waiting to be saved, and morally infallible angels who seemed to have no opinions of their own. She learned that "the girl" is not a person, but a man's idea of what a woman should be-she's whatever the hero needs her to be in order to become himself. It wasn't until she spent five years as a movie critic, and was laid off just after her daughter was born, however, that she really came to understand how the stories the culture tells us about what it means to be a girl limit our lives and shape our destinies. She resolved to rewrite her own story. In You Play the Girl, Chocano blends formative personal stories with insightful and emotionally powerful analysis. Moving from Bugs Bunny to Playboy Bunnies, from Flashdance to Frozen, from the progressive '70s through the backlash '80s, the glib '90s, and the pornified aughts-and at stops in between-she explains how growing up in the shadow of "the girl" taught her to think about herself and the world and what it means to raise a daughter in the face of these contorted reflections. In the tradition of Roxane Gay, Rebecca Solnit, and Susan Sontag, Chocano brilliantly shows that our identities are more fluid than we think, and certainly more complex than anything we see on any kind of screen.]]></description><link>https://grant.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C13391475</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://grant.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C13391475</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chocano, Carina]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://grant.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/13391475981</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>On Playboy Bunnies, Stepford Wives, Train Wrecks, &amp; Other Mixed Messages</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780544648968/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
