Moore B: Women and Age on the UK Stage

Women and Age on the UK Stage

Performing Aged Femininities

Building on contemporary scholarship on post-network television, feminism, melodrama, and crime television, Alison Wielgus analyzes post-network female detective television through the lenses of genre, industry, and discourses of police abolition to argue for a radicalization of crime television that incorporates discourses of restorative justice and a feminist ethics of care. This book positions post-network female detective television as a primary site to examine the intersections of cultural discourses like #MeToo and Black Lives Matter, analyzing the roles of several components of the genre including serialization, circulation, family trauma, transnational victimhood, and discourses of police abolition, among others. Drawing on narrative and genre theory, this book argues that a melodrama/crime television dialectic undergirds post-network detective television, allowing the female detective to emerge as a contested figure representative of larger cultural tensions between gender and policing. While changing industrial measures have allowed for niche programing to evolve and more rigorously interrogate gender norms, Wielgus finds that this disruption rarely extends to the institution of policing itself. #MeToo's imperatives and precursors have worked toward deepening and complicating depictions of sexual assault and femicide with narrative nuance, but there remains an uneasy relationship between Black Lives Matter and policing discourses and the desire to position female detectives as heroic saviors in the production of copaganda narratives. Ultimately, this book identifies a central problem of crime television in the limitations the genre places on the construction and representation of the structural and societal functions of policing, even amid other strides in progressive representation.

'Tackles the pervasive tide of unbridled misogyny masquerading as kindness' Julie Bindel 'Victoria Smith is a brilliant writer who every feminist should read' Sharron Davies 'This brilliant book shows how demands for compassion and generosity can be a mask for sexist ideology' Susanna Rustin (Un)kind is a coruscating account of the ways in which deeply-held beliefs about women's 'kind' nature have been repackaged for today's culture wars, in a society that remains dependent - socially, politically, economically - on female self-sacrifice. Kindness culture is sold to women and girls in a multitude of guises: from play to self-help, social justice activism to empowerment. Victoria Smith argues that the pressure on women and girls has been incorporated into the 'work' of feminism. A compelling account of the backlash against feminism, (Un)Kind is essential reading for anyone affected by the endless exhortations for women to #BeKind. 'Brilliant... compelling' Lucy Mangan, The i 'Erudite, blisteringly smart and profoundly compassionate' Dr Rachel Hewitt

Why African Autocracies Promote Women as Leaders explains how and why authoritarian countries promote women as leaders in Africa. The face of African politics has changed significantly since the mid-1990s as more women have entered politics in both democracies and autocracies. Women's movements and organizations have successfully lobbied for and won more leadership roles for women in the executive, legislature, and sub-national bodies.

Why African Autocracies Promote Women as Leaders

Offers an arts-based, storying, textual and visual lens on gender-based violence in the UK and Mexico. This book is a unique image-based bilingual (English and Spanish) book of textual and visual narratives of gender-based violence (GBV) in the UK and Mexico, framed with a critical commentary that sets these stories in the context of GBV in both countries. Visual and textual stories convey the 'felt' experience of GBV, engaging readers and audiences in the apparently mundane as well as the shocking. Such stories help contest the prominence of crime statistics in evidencing GBV, statistics which often distort experience and reflect and maintain exclusionary policies and practices, particularly for minoritised communities. The transnational project on which this book is based invited artists and creative writers from diverse backgrounds in the UK and Mexico to respond to lived accounts of GBV in comic stories, short stories, poems, 3D installations, fine art photography, painting and film. This book brings together these visual and textual stories and sets out a series of readings and analyses that seek to further knowledge on GBV in different cultural contexts. This book is open access under a CC BY licence.
