Burrows Submitted in fulfillment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Media and Cultural Studies at the University of Sussex, May 2014 3 University of Sussex Karen K. Burrows Escaping the Honeytrap: Representations and Ramifications of the Female Spy on Television Since 1965 Summary My thesis interrogates the changing nature of the espionage genre on Western television since the middle of the Cold War. It uses close textual analysis to read the progressions and regressions in the portrayal of the female spy, analyzing where her representation aligns with the achievements of the feminist movement, where it aligns with popular political culture of the time, and what happens when the two factors diverge. I ask what the female spy represents across the decades and why her image is integral to understanding the portrayal of gender on television. I explore four pairs of television shows from various eras to demonstrate the importance of the female spy to the cultural landscape.

  • Semantron 20 Summer 2020

    Semantron 20 Summer 2020

    Semantron 20 Summer 2020 Semantron was founded in 1992 by Dr. Jan Piggott (Head of English, and then Archivist at the College) together with one of his students, Richard Scholar (now Senior Tutor at Oriel College, Oxford and Professor of French and Comparative Literature). The photographs on the front and back covers, and those which start each section, are by Ed Brilliant. Editor’s introduction: ex umbris Neil Croally Summer 2020 Torn between the war against cliché and the rhetoric of praeteritio In late March, purely for entertainment’s sake, I had recourse to the guilty pleasure of watching some episodes of Spooks.1 Soon this turned into an obsessive need to watch the episodes of all ten series. Yes, that is nearly 100 hours of television – for someone who does not own a television. But what was the attraction? At first, I merely indulged a love for representations of the secret world, however inane or fantastic. Co-incidentally and (I suppose) remarkably, there were the Dulwich connections: not only of two of the starring actors, Rupert Penry-Jones and Raza Jaffrey, but also of the use of Sydenham Hill station and the nearby woods as the site of a secret assignation away from the febrile atmosphere of the ‘grid’, and of Crystal Palace Sports Centre as the place where a jihadi cell met under cover of a weekly five-a-side knockabout. But moving through the series, I began to marvel at two apparently incompatible features of the show. The first was the wish, unsurprising in a series about the security services, to dive boldly into ethical dilemmas, more specifically into an examination of Utilitarianism.2 One can only admire the direct, no-nonsense way in which centuries of philosophical reflection are cast aside, as the spies come down without fail in favour of the majoritarian position, whatever the cost to individuals and to themselves.

    Zusammenfassung Abstract Barbara KORTE the Fading of the Hero In

    http://www.interferenceslitteraires.be ISSN : 2031 - 2790 Barbara KORTE The Fading of the Hero in the Spy Genre A Case Study of Spooks (BBC 2002-2011) Zusammenfassung Spionagefiktion suggeriert typischerweise, dass das Heldentum von Geheimagenten prekär ist. Spione lügen, betrügen und töten, und ihre moralische Fragwürdigkeit wird treffend mit dem britischen umgangssprachlichen Ausdruck ‘spook’ erfasst, vom Ursprung her ein Synonym für ‘Geist,.Gespenst’. Aufgrund ihrer moralischen Fragwürdigkeit haben Spione und die Fiktionen, die sie darstellen, eine besondere Affinität zur Idee des ‘verschwindenden’ Heldens und Heldentums. Spionagefiktion projiziert einen Heroismus, dessen Bedeutungen und Manifestationen prekär sind, der erscheint und verschwindet, der in bestimmten Augenblicken aufleuchtet, dann aber wieder verblasst. Der Artikel zeigt dies zunächst für das Spionagegenre per se, dann in einem Close Reading von Spooks (2002-2011), einer von der BBC produzierten Fernsehserie über den Sicherheitsdienst des Vereinigten Königreichs. Die Länge und (Dis-) Kontinuitäten serieller Narration ermöglichen ein komplexes Erzählen und widersprüchliche Charakterzeichnung, einschließlich der Möglichkeit, dass heroisierte Figuren einen bedeutungsvollen und verstörenden Wandel erfahren. Dies erreicht einen Höhepunkt in der neunten Staffel von Spooks, auf die dieser Aufsatz seinen Fokus legt; hier durchlebt der Held einen Wandel seiner Moral und Persönlichkeit , der angesichts seiner früheren Geschichte und der Kenntnisse, die die Zuschauer über ihn aufgebaut haben, nicht vorhersagbar ist. Abstract Spy fiction typically suggests that the heroicity of the secret agent is, at best, an insecure one. Spies lie, deceive and kill, and their moral shadiness is aptly captured in the British colloquial expression ‘spook’, originally a synonym for ‘ghost’. It is this shadiness through which spies and the fictions that depict them have a special affinity to the idea of ‘fading’ heroes and heroism.
