  • Tracing Bloodlines: Kinship and Reproduction Under Investigation in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
    This is a pre-copy edited version of an article accepted for publication in Journal of Popular Television (Volume 2, Issue 2, October 2014) following peer-review. The definitive publisher authenticated version is available from: http://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/journals/view-Article,id=18491/ Tracing Bloodlines: Kinship and Reproduction Under Investigation in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation SOFIA BULL ABSTRACT This article examines discourses on kinship and reproduction in the forensic crime drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2000–). I argue that the programme stages a visual materialization of genetic kinship in order to assert its importance as a crucial type of forensic evidence, which evokes the traditional Darwinian framework of genealogy for understanding biological kinship as a substantial and enduring trace between generations. However, I show that CSI also participates in contemporary bioethical debates about new genetic and biomedical technologies that increasingly allow us to interfere in the human reproduction process. I conclude that while the programme engages with an emergent post-genomic respatialization of genealogy and acknowledges that the concept of kinship is increasingly being redefined, CSI is still heavily invested in a normative understanding of sexual reproduction as a ‘natural fact of life’ and inadvertently constructs the nuclear family structure as an ideal framework for procreation. KEYWORDS TV; kinship; family; reproduction; genetics; forensic science It is well known that the ties between the television medium and the concept of the family are close and enduring. On the one hand, the family has long been understood as a crucial cultural context for television reception. As Lynn Spigel’s research has shown, the medium quickly became associated with family life and domestic ideals after the Second World War.

  • Una Voce 2012 I
    Una Voce 2012 i Una Voce 2012 Student Editors Gil Grissom, Reggie Jennings, Rhiannon Johns, Angel Jones, The Dang, Nicole Nave, Jamie Neisinger, Farrance Quins, Mekao Tramil Faculty Advisor Mary Fox Layout and Design by Dean Davis Photographs by Ann Williams ii Una Voce 2012 Introduction In 2001, two TCC writing teachers embarked on a project to publish the beautiful essays being written by Tacoma Community College students. They named the new magazine Una Voce, a Latin term meaning “with one voice.” But, in those 12 years, the voices we hear, and, especially, the channels through which we hear them, have changed dramatically. It’s no exaggeration to say that we are living in a different world. In the spring of 2001, the 9/11 terrorist attacks were still a couple of months away. Facebook? Wouldn’t happen for three more years. And now, here we are: Our country is at war. We have an African-American president. We don’t buy many books, but many of us read novels on our cell phones. Can you imagine what we’ll be doing 12 years from now? I can’t. Still, around the world and here on campus, people continue to write thoughtfully, often eloquently, about ideas and events about which they care deeply. In fact, it seems clear that we are writing more now than ever before, and we have a dizzying array of physical and digital tools at our disposal, constant access to these tools, and a never-ending parade of free on-line resources that encourage us to communicate with each other.
