Abstract

Popular print-media has a represented women’s body with a certain fixity of spatiality which depicts the larger ‘public-sphere’ were a woman is allowed to imagine herself. It constructs the bodies which are hegemonized to a culturally-determined symbolic order. The new-media too is no redeemer to this culturally construed order.
