Descriere RO
The twenty-first century has seen LGBTQ+ rights emerge at the forefront of public discourse and national politics in ways that would once have been hard to imagine. In Lesbians on Television, Kate McNicholas Smith maps concurrent contemporary shifts in lesbian visibility within popular media, focusing on the small screens of Europe and North America. Central to these shifts has been a re-imagining of queer livesâor a ânew queer visibilityââas LGBTQ+ characters have become increasingly visible within popular culture. Kate McNicholas Smith explores this increased visibility through the lens of television, and in doing so, she identifies a ânew lesbian normalââa normalization of lesbian subjects that both helps and hinders those it represents.Â
Structured around five central case studies of popular British and American television shows featuring lesbian, bisexual, and queer women charactersâThe L Word, Skins, Glee, Coronation Street, and The Fostersâthe book develops a detailed analysis of the shaping of a new âlesbian normalâ through representations of LGBTQ+ figures, and examines their televisual representation and reception. Presenting critical queer and feminist theory alongside empirical research that includes interviews and multi-platform media analyses, McNicholas Smith works to untangle the social, political, and cultural implications of new visibility in a period of significant social change in the LGBTQ+ experience.
