  • Doctor Who's Feminine Mystique
    Doctor Who’s Feminine Mystique: Examining the Politics of Gender in Doctor Who By Alyssa Franke Professor Sarah Houser, Department of Government, School of Public Affairs Professor Kimberly Cowell-Meyers, Department of Government, School of Public Affairs University Honors in Political Science American University Spring 2014 Abstract In The Feminine Mystique, Betty Friedan examined how fictional stories in women’s magazines helped craft a societal idea of femininity. Inspired by her work and the interplay between popular culture and gender norms, this paper examines the gender politics of Doctor Who and asks whether it subverts traditional gender stereotypes or whether it has a feminine mystique of its own. When Doctor Who returned to our TV screens in 2005, a new generation of women was given a new set of companions to look up to as role models and inspirations. Strong and clever, socially and sexually assertive, these women seemed to reject traditional stereotypical representations of femininity in favor of a new representation of femininity. But for all Doctor Who has done to subvert traditional gender stereotypes and provide a progressive representation of femininity, its story lines occasionally reproduce regressive discourses about the role of women that reinforce traditional gender stereotypes and ideologies about femininity. This paper explores how gender is represented and how norms are constructed through plot lines that punish and reward certain behaviors or choices by examining the narratives of the women Doctor Who’s titular protagonist interacts with. Ultimately, this paper finds that the show has in recent years promoted traits more in line with emphasized femininity, and that the narratives of the female companion’s have promoted and encouraged their return to domestic roles.

This article shows how closely the narratives of the companions track contemporary notions of post- feminism. In particular, companions’ departures from the programme have much in common with post-feminism’s master-theme of retreatism, whereby women retreat from their public lives to find fulfilment in marriage, home and family. The article argues that when companions leave the TARDIS, what happens next ought to embody the sense of empowerment, purpose and agency which they have gained through their adventures, whereas too often the programme’s authors have given companions ‘happy endings’ based on finding husbands and settling down.

  • Doctor Who: Adaptations and Flows
    Doctor Who: Adaptations and Flows Mark Bould Doctor Who (1963-1989, 2005-), the longest-running and most successful sf television show of all time (Miller), provides unique insights into how the experience of television programming has developed over the last half-century. Moreover, almost from the moment of its inception, it became a multimedia franchise, with comics, books, toys, games, a rebooted series, spin-off series, interactive web content and so on, as well as cinematic, direct-to-video, televisual, and internet/DVD pornographic film adaptations.1 Such a proliferation of commercial texts poses particular problems—and opportunities—for adaptation studies, which hitherto has tended to concentrate on the nature of textual transformations between more-or-less canonical texts and their adaptations—a close focus that typically loses sight of adaptations and their sources as commodities bound up in the realms of production and consumption. In order critically to comprehend them, it is necessary to come to terms with the nature of intellectual, creative labour required by both producers and consumers of textual commodities. That is, we need to develop the means by which to “examine the historically specific conjunctures in which interests and meanings are brought into being and actively negotiated” (Grainge 8). This requires attention not only to “the diversity of attitudes and practices that exist among consumers, audiences and subordinate social groups” privileged in cultural disciplines since the 1980s, but also “with equal sensitivity to context and complexity the interests and meanings worked out within the field of cultural production” (8). Thinking about adaptation therefore requires us simultaneously to consider not only the processes by which we make culture out of commodities but also those by which capital is made out of culture.

  • A Gender Study of the Women of Doctor Who an Honors Thesis
    1 The Ladies of Time & Space: A Gender Study of the Women of Doctor Who An Honors Thesis (HONR 499) By Zachary Aaron Kizer Thesis Advisor ~- Maria:Williams-Hawkins_ ____ _ Signed Ball State University Muncie, Indiana November 2015 Expected Date of Graduation December 2015 2 Abstract Over the course of 52 years, the BBC science fiction series Doctor Who has exposed viewers to a menagerie of female lead characters. In spite of the variety often found in these women, they are expected to fall into a very specific set of characteristics, at least in the minds of the general public. This narrow set of characteristics involves the women of the show being meek, demure, screaming at the monster of the week and existing only to serve as a surrogate for the audience, asking questions to exposit major plot details. Through videos taken from all throughout the series, I analyze the majority ofthe show's female leads, showing how many of them bend, if not entirely break, the expectations placed on them both by many viewers and, to .an extent, the show itself. r,f'( r) J 3 Underg~ d /h s-/c, LD [).l)BCj .
