The Routledge Companion to Gender, Violence and Popular Culture examines how gender and violence are co-constituted across contemporary popular cultural forms.

Drawing on contributions from more than 50 interdisciplinary scholars across over 20 countries, the volume explores a wide range of media-including film, television, games, music, literature, podcasts, social media, street art, photography and pornography-through four thematic sections on conducive contexts, representations, resistance and reclamation, and audiences. It attends to both production and reception, encompassing practices such as performance, protest, podcasting, creative production, cultural consumption, and critical curation, and situates these within current debates shaped by movements such as #MeToo. Building on the editors' earlier work, The Routledge Companion to Gender, Media and Violence, this companion extends the conversation to fictional and entertainment contexts, enabling rich cross-cultural comparison.

This collection is essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as researchers in Gender and Women's Studies, Media and Communication, Film and Television Studies, Cultural Studies, Journalism Studies, Sociology and Criminology.
