Dreamworlds 3, the highly anticipated update of Sut Jhally's groundbreaking Dreamworlds 2 (1995), examines the stories contemporary music videos tell about girls and women, and encourages viewers to consider how these narratives shape individual and cultural attitudes about sexuality.

Illustrated with hundreds of up-to-date images, Dreamworlds 3 offers a unique and powerful tool for understanding both the continuing influence of music videos and how pop culture more generally filters the identities of young men and women through a dangerously narrow set of myths about sexuality and gender. In doing so, it inspires viewers to reflect critically on images that they might otherwise take for granted.

  • @RyanD130 Thats like saying nobody forces men to wear suits or women to wear dresses. No one physically makes them however, its engrained in each sex to do as is norm.

  • @RyanD130 it's our fault for buying into it, for the women for playing those roles, the people who make these videos and the labels behind them. Everyone has a share of the blame. Everyone contributed.

  • So this is off the topic but Britney Spears looks so healthy in the videos shown here. Seeing her now, it's really sad. It's just sad all around.

  • This guy is extremely ignorant and is only telling one side of the story. And to be honest if you are too thick to realise that these techniques are used to sell and that it is not actually realistic then that is your own fault, not the media's. And as for these women, they were not forced to be in these music videos were they?

  • @NuGhost they're also more fuller figured more motherly looking women..that's why alicia keys and jill scott aren't marketed as sex objects. they look like queen mothers..

  • that was an acurate reading of the janet/ justin superbowl thing...and quite scary.

  • all those women bopping around affect your respect for them so how in the hell are u suppose to be in a committed monogamous marriage with a woman *sigh mainstream heterosexuality gets on my goddamn nerve sanctity of marriage my ass

  • @NuGhost I dont think hes saying ALL music videos are negative,hes basically exposing the mind control that is being used in MOST music videos

  • But women are portrayed as more than sexual objects. Has he ever seen an Alicia Keys video? How about Jill Scott? Not all music videos are negative.

  • ohmigoshhhh. Fionna Apple was in this. Crazy.
