  • Feminist Theory and UK Media Representations of Lady Diana
    Arcadia University The People’s Princesses: Feminist Theory and UK Media Representations of Lady Diana Spencer and Meghan Markle Mackenzie Myer Dr. Lisa Holderman CM460- Senior Seminar I 16 December 2020 Myer 2 I. Defining Feminism Feminism is, at its core, a humanitarian movement which strives to achieve social, racial, financial, and political equality for women. Since its inception, it can be broken into four distinct waves. The first wave (which took place from the 1840s until the 1920s) was defined by the push for women’s suffrage. The second wave (which took place from the 1960s through the 1980s) revolved around a variety of social, sexual, and reproductive freedoms, with a particular interest in contraceptive and abortion rights. The third wave (which many estimate as beginning in the late 1980s or early 1990s) focused on making feminism more inclusive for women of all races and sexualities, while also adding transgender women to the narrative. The fourth (and current) wave of feminism rose in tandem with the digital and social media age and is centered around body positivity, sex positivity, and exploring how patriarchy is damaging to men as well as women. Though each of these waves have separate defining characteristics, it is important to note that they are not stepping stones from one another. That is to say that the fourth wave of feminism is no “better” than the third. Rather, the focus of each wave of feminism is to adress whatever issues are pressing to women of the time. In many cases, the issues at hand can be related back to former waves, especially as it relates to reproductive and sexual freedoms.

  • Interrogating the Politics of LGBT Celebrity in British Reality Television
    Interrogating the Politics of LGBT Celebrity in British Reality Television Michael William Lovelock (Student number 3866084) Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of Art, Media and American Studies August 2016 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Abstract Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, reality television has been one of the most prolific spaces of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) visibility in British popular culture. Yet, in almost two decades of scholarship on reality TV, very little academic work has addressed the representation of LGBT identities within this medium, outside of a small set of makeover programmes. Where LGBT visibility in non-makeover reality shows has been analyzed, these representations have been approached as largely indistinguishable from fiction texts, their status as reality TV passing largely unaddressed. This thesis critically interrogates the relationship between reality television as a form, and the representations of LGBT identity found within reality programmes. Focusing on British reality shows broadcast between 2000 and 2014, this study explores how the generic specificities of reality television have shaped the ways in which LGBT identities have become visible within reality formats. This thesis argues that, in the figures of LGBT reality TV participants, tropes of authenticity, self-realization, celebrity and democracy bound to reality television itself have functioned as the discursive frameworks through which a series of normative scripts of LGBT subjectivity and LGBT life have been produced and circulated through British popular culture.
