release notes/summary (backcover information)

This accessible yet research-based text offers
both foundational theories and practical
applications of analysis and criticism of mass
media portrayals of sex, love, and romance in a
wide variety of mass media, from entertainment
to advertising to news. The multidisciplinary
methodological perspective comes out of a media
literacy approach and embraces a variety of
traditions along the quantitative-qualitative
continuum. Focused on portrayals of male-female
coupleship, the book is centered around the 12
major myths and stereotypes of Galician's Dr.
FUN!'s Mass Media Love Quiz? each of which has
a corresponding Dr. Galician Prescription(R)
that encapsulates healthy strategies--rarely
found in the mass media--to counteract that
myth or stereotype. Readers learn how to
identify, illustrate, deconstruct, evaluate,
and reframe the mass media's mythic and
stereotypic portrayals of sex, love, and
romance. They also learn how to use their own
formal critical evaluations to clarify their
own values and--as media consumers or mass
communication creators--to share their
insights with others. Thus, the learning
objectives encompass all three major
educational domains: cognitive, affective,
and behavioral.

Part I of this book covers the five foundations:

*myths and stereotypes of love and coupleship;

*models of realistic and constructive love and
coupleship;

*mass media storytelling approaches, techniques,
and devices;

*research and theories of mass media effects; and

*strategies and skills of media literacy.

Part II is devoted to exploring the myths and
stereotypes identified in the Quiz. Following
several brief case studies and a summary ofrelated
research and commentary, each chapter focuses on
analyses and criticisms of portrayals of sex, love,
and romance in the content of news and advertising,
as well as entertainment using Galician's Seven-
Step Dis-illusioning Directions. Each chapter
concludes with a "Dis-illusion Digest."

While critical of unrealistic portrayals and the
damage they can cause unsuspecting media consumers,
Galician--a media literacy advocate--is not anti-
media. Rather, her goal is to empower consumers to
use these portrayals with more awareness of their
possible consequences, to resist adopting them as
models for actual behavior, and to consciously
reframe them into more realistic, productive
scenarios. This unique text is an engaging classroom
resource for media literacy, media and relationships,
and media and society coursework.
