Gender, Media and anti-Nostalgia: figuring the 'Maligned Nineties Woman'

This project considers how 1990's celebrities are being rediscovered through digital cultures. By considering 'problematic' figures including Courtney Love, Sinead O'Connor and Amy Winehouse, it investigates how post-MeToo media cultures engage in a creative feminist politics of reclaiming. Trauma, mental health, sanism, and the cultural politics of class, sexuality and whiteness are central to this project.
