Media and gender adaptation : Regendering, critical creation and the fans / Lucy Irene Baker New York: Bloomsbury Academic,
Call No: 753-08 BAKAuthor: Baker, Lucy Irene Edition: 2023Place: New YorkPublisher: Bloomsbury AcademicPhysDes: 200 pages ; 24 cmSubject: GENDER AND THE CINEMA ; GENDER AND TV ; SHERLOCK HOLMES IN FILMS ; FAN MAGAZINES ; FANS ; [DOCTOR] DR WHO [TV] (UK, 1963-1989, 2005-) ; ELEMENTARY [TV] (US, 2012-) ; GHOSTBUSTERS (US, Ivan Reitman, 1984) ; GHOSTBUSTERS (US, Paul Feig, 2016) Summary: Media and Gender Adaptation examines how fans and professionals change the gender of characters when they adapt existing work. Using research into fans, and case studies on Sherlock Holmes, Ghostbusters and Doctor Who, it illustrates the foundation of the process and ways the works engage with and critique media and gender at a political level. The default maleness of narratives in media are reworked to be inclusive of other points of view. Regendering as an adaptational technique relies on audience familiarity with existing works, however it also reveals an increasing trend in aggressive backlash against interpretations of media that include marginalised and minority communities.
Combining analysis of fanfiction, television and big budget Hollywood productions, Media and Gender Adaptation also analyses fan responses to regendering in popular media. Through demographic surveys and interviews with fans, creators and broader audiences, a combination of playful and serious attitudes to gender are revealed to be part of how transformative fans (professional or not) adapt work. Specific fanfiction examples are analysed alongside professional works to reveal the depth and breadth of fannish play in regendered work and the constraints that professional adaptations are held to. It also reveals a schism in audiences, and those researching media, where the intersection of gender and race are sites of tension – nostalgia combining with expected representation of gender and race to create an aggressive defence of an original work that reiterates the mainstream hierarchies of gender and race. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781501370113Contents: Dedication -- Acknowledgements -- Introduction -- Section 1: Data and theories -- 1.

Woman up : invoking feminism in quality television / Julia Havas Detroit: Wayne State University Press, 2022.
Call No: 744-02(73) HAVAuthor: Havas, Julia Edition: 2022Place: DetroitPublisher: Wayne State University PressPubDate: 2022PhysDes: viii, 272 pages : illustratedSubject: FEMINISM AND TV ; GOOD WIFE, THE [TV] (US, 2009) ; GENDER AND TV ; PARKS AND RECREATION [TV] (US, 2009-15) ; SEX AND THE CITY [TV] (US, 1998-2004) ; WOMEN ON TV. USA ; [THIRTY] 30 ROCK [TV] (US, 2006-2013) Summary: While American television has long relied on a strategic foregrounding of feminist politics to promote certain programming’s cultural value, Woman Up: Invoking Feminism in Quality Television is the first sustained critical analysis of the twenty-first-century resurgence of this tradition. In Woman Up, Julia Havas’scentral argument is that postmillennial "feminist quality television" springs from a rhetorical subversion of the (much-debated) masculine-coded "quality television" culture on the one hand and the dominance of postfeminist popular culture on the other.
Postmillennial quality television culture promotes the idea of aesthetic-generic hierarchies among different types of scripted programming. Its development has facilitated evaluative academic analyses of television texts based on aesthetic merit, producing a corpus of scholarship devoted to pinpointing where value resides in shows considered worthy of discussion. Other strands of television scholarship have criticized this approach for sidestepping the gendered and classed processes of canonization informing the phenomenon. Woman Up intervenes in this debate by reevaluating such approaches and insisting that rather than further fostering or critiquing already prominent processes of canonization, there is a need to interrogate the cultural forces underlying them. Via detailed analyses of four TV programs emerging in the early period of the "feminist quality TV" trend—30 Rock (2006–13), Parks and Recreation (2009–15), The Good Wife (2009–16), and Orange Is the New Black (2013–19)—Woman Up demonstrates that such series mediate their cultural significance by combining formal aesthetic exceptionalism and a politicized rhetoric around a "problematic" postfeminism, thus linking ideals of political and aesthetic value.
Woman Up will most appeal to students and scholars of cinema and media studies, feminist media studies, television studies, and cultural studies. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9780814346563
