“…As such, their attitude accords with the future -focussed dimension of reconsumption. It is true, of course, that the community venerates the past, draws succour from the icons of yesteryear and strives to gainsay patriarchy by ‘reanimating the glamour of an earlier age, a pre-feminist past’ (Munford and Waters, 2014: 26). But as Howland (1962) made clear 55 years ago, there has always been a future-focused side to nostalgia – looking forward to looking back, as it was (Davis, 1979) – and neophyte neo-burlesquers look forward to acquiring revered tricks of the trade (tassel twirling, fan furling), formulating timeflow-fitting routines (cf.…”

Reconsumption refers to the act of rereading books, rewatching movies, revisiting places and re-experiencing hedonic experiences more generally. In a retrospective consumer culture, replete with prequels, sequels, reboots and rereleases, there is considerable scope for expansion. This article reconsiders the reconsumption concept. Based on an in-depth, 3-year study of neoburlesquers in France, it reveals that reconsumption is evident in a communal context; that the concept is applicable to sequels not just re-experienced originals; that it holds good when 'postphenomenological' research methods are employed; and that nostalgia is its driving force. Keywords Neo-burlesque, nostalgia, reconsumption, retro 'Can't repeat the past?. .. Why of course you can!' Thus speaks F. Scott Fitzgerald in his seminal novel, The Great Gatsby. Thus also speaks Maureen Corrigan (2014) in her study of reader responses to The Great Gatsby. The repetition is entirely apt, because she reveals that Fitzgerald's masterpiece works its imperishable magic when read for the second time. First time readers tend to regard the classic as 'a boring novel about rich people' (Corrigan, 2014: 3). Reacquaintance, however, makes the heart grow fonder. And repeated reacquaintance makes it grow fonder still. The process Corrigan so cogently describes is called 'reconsumption'. According to Russell and Levy (2012), who noted, named and empirically investigated the construct, reconsumption is the act of rereading a favourite book, revisiting a fondly remembered place, rewatching a much-loved movie or re-experiencing hedonic experiences more generally. Reconsumption, they contend, is

“…Women are participating in politics and professional roles, holding power, and are increasingly visible in positions of authority, both in real life (see Forbes et al., 2022; National Society of Leadership and Success, 2023) and as fictional characters in movies and television (Cocca, 2018; Gill, 2007b; Rotten Tomatoes, 2021). These depictions insinuate we live in a postfeminist world where advocating for gender equality is no longer necessary (Gill, 2007a, 2017; McRobbie, 2009; Munford & Waters, 2014; Tasker & Negra, 2007). This attitude aligns with popular culture's tendency to portray “the capacity of female subjects to make free and autonomous choices” (Gill & Donaghue, 2013, p. 240), and the neoliberal understanding of agency based in consumerism, individual effort, and performance (Banet‐Weiser et al., 2020; McRobbie, 2009; Rottenberg, 2014).…”

We present an audience reception study of participant reactions to gender‐based violence in Issa López' 2008 film, Casi Divas, chosen for its nuanced depiction of women grappling with several violences. Over three focus groups with 15 adult participants, we used Galtung's conflict theory to explore what participants identified as violence, and how victims should respond to violence in various forms. We find that participants have a narrow definition of violence, seeing it as an individualized act and therefore neglecting to consider its cultural or structural foundations. The participants' responses to violence largely reflected neoliberal values of personal empowerment and choice, resilience, and “leaning in.” We recommend critical visual literacy as a tool in the educational context to identify and address violence, to fight inequity, and to establish emancipatory discourses.

“…Jahrhunderts ein weiterer Rückgang festzustellen: Seit Ende der 1990er Jahre beträgt die jährliche Geburtenrate in Deutschland relativ konstant 1,4 Kinder pro Frau. 76 Laut Erhebung des Statistischen Bundesamts wuchs 2012 in 42 Prozent der Familien in Deutschland ein Kind allein auf (Ein-Kind-Familien). In 43 Prozent der Familien lebten zwei und in 15 Prozent drei oder mehr minderjährige Kinder.…”

“…Die zunehmend betonte Verantwortung der Eltern in der Kindererziehung baute auf der Verstärkung der natürlichen Bande zwischen Eltern und Kinder auf. Deren Überhöhung bedeutete eine Aufwertung der Blutsverwandtschaft,76 welche sich auch in dem Überarbeitungsprozess der KHM spiegelt. Die Konzentration auf den Kult der Innerlichkeit in Abgrenzung zum Adel erklärt Rosenbaum mit dem Kompensationsbedürfnis des Bürgertums angesichts ihrer noch politischen Machtlosigkeit um die Jahrhundertwende.…”
