ective; how gender is constructed socially, and how to develop a framework for analyzing gender. Illustrations are looked at for what they show, how they show it, and what they do not show. Developed in a series of workshops, the book is accompanied by a detailed checklist to analyze works for gender-sensitivity, a glossary of terms, and an annotated bibliography for those who wish to read further. The training modules have been designed for use in workshop situations, and are accompanied by a pack of laminated training cards in a cover pocket of the A4 format wire-bound book, which can be used in different combinations by trainers or for self-study purposes."

"The key idea of this book is to argue that a 'third generation' of reception studies and audience ethnography is presently taking shape and will establish itself in the near future.

in this introductory chapter must not be taken matter-of-factly. Rather, the outline of the suggested division should be seen as a way of pointing out an emergent trend, a direction audience research could take. There are elements in the present research that already lead the way to the new agenda that future research should, in my view, address, but a solid body of research tackling the new field of research is yet to be done. I hope that with the book at hand we can help to address the new questions and outline the basic dimensions of the new field. The role of this book, in other words, is to act as a midwife: to suggest a 'story line' in cultural media research, a way to read its history in such a way that it points to the emergent trend outlined here and illustrated, developed and discussed in the chapters of this book."
