This book presents the papers discussed at the International Conference «Media and gender: History, representation, reception» held in San Marino on May 10 and 11, 2022. Two days during which researchers and scholars from European, American, and Asian universities and from different areas of expertise discussed some central aspects of the complex and ever-changing relationship that exists between media and gender, from an interdisciplinary and transnational perspective. In particular, the published essays investigate how changes in gender roles influence and shape the production of media content; the role played by media in the construction of dominant social narratives and in the definition of sociological theories of gender; and the impact that interrelations between media and gender have in shaping new forms of subjectivity, agency, and identities.
