Abstract

In this article, we argue that Teen Vogue has evolved to encompass aspects of intersectional, feminist activism that is particularly evident in the 2017 “Voices” section of the magazine. This evolution challenges previous research that has found that, historically, teen magazines focus heavily on heteronormativity, ideals of beauty, and consumerism. Our analysis of the content of this section of Teen Vogue in 2017 demonstrates that teen magazines can be reimagined as legitimate sources of intersectional activist feminist information for readers. Despite these positive changes, however, Teen Vogue continues to advertise clothing brands that many adolescent girl readers are likely unable to afford, thereby reinforcing superficial postfeminist notions of empowerment.

青少年时尚中的交叉女权主义和社会正义

在本文中，我们认为《Teen Vogue》已经发展到涵盖交叉的女权主义活动的各个方面，这在该杂志2017年的“声音”部分尤为明显。这种演变挑战了之前的研究发现，从历史上看，青少年杂志主要关注异性恋规范、审美理想和消费主义。我们对2017年《Teen Vogue》这一部分内容的分析表明，青少年杂志可以被重新想象为读者提供跨领域激进女权主义信息的合法来源。然而，尽管有这些积极的变化，《Teen Vogue》杂志仍在继续宣传许多青春期女孩读者可能负担不起的服装品牌，从而强化了肤浅的后女权主义赋权概念。
