  • 'Nothing but the Truth': Genre, Gender and Knowledge in the US
    ‘Nothing but the Truth’: Genre, Gender and Knowledge in the US Television Crime Drama 2005-2010 Hannah Ellison Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) University of East Anglia School of Film, Television and Media Studies Submitted January 2014 ©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 no quotation from the thesis, nor any information derived therefrom, may be published without the author's prior, written consent. 2 | Page Hannah Ellison Abstract Over the five year period 2005-2010 the crime drama became one of the most produced genres on American prime-time television and also one of the most routinely ignored academically. This particular cyclical genre influx was notable for the resurgence and reformulating of the amateur sleuth; this time remerging as the gifted police consultant, a figure capable of insights that the police could not manage. I term these new shows ‘consultant procedurals’. Consequently, the genre moved away from dealing with the ills of society and instead focused on the mystery of crime. Refocusing the genre gave rise to new issues. Questions are raised about how knowledge is gained and who has the right to it. With the individual consultant spearheading criminal investigation, without official standing, the genre is re-inflected with issues around legitimacy and power. The genre also reengages with age-old questions about the role gender plays in the performance of investigation. With the aim of answering these questions one of the jobs of this thesis is to find a way of analysing genre that accounts for both its larger cyclical, shifting nature and its simultaneously rigid construction of particular conventions.

Introduction The Criminal Justice System is a part of society that is both familiar and hidden. It is familiar in that a large part of daily news and television drama is devoted to it (Carrabine, 2008; Jewkes, 2011). It is hidden in the sense that the majority of the population have little, if any, direct contact with the Criminal Justice System, meaning that the media may be a major force in shaping their views on crime and policing (Carrabine, 2008). As Reiner (2000) notes, the debate about the relationship between the media, policing, and crime has been a key feature of wider societal concerns about crime since the establishment of the modern police force.

    9/18/2018 Small-screen courtrooms a hit with lawyers - Buffalo - Buffalo Business First MENU Account FOR THE EXCLUSIVE USE OF [email protected] From the Buffalo Business First: https://www.bizjournals.com/buffalo/news/2018/09/17/small-screen-courtrooms-a-hit-with-lawyers.html Small-screen courtrooms a hit with lawyers Sep 17, 2018, 6:00am EDT For many, TV shows are an escape from reality. For attorneys, that’s no different – even when they’re watching lawyers on TV. “Better Call Saul” is the latest in a long line of TV shows about the legal profession. A prequel to AMC’s “Breaking Bad,” the show stars Bob Odenkirk as a crooked-at-times attorney named Jimmy McGill. “He’s a likable guy and you like his character,” said Patrick Fitzsimmons, senior associate at Hodgson Russ LLP in Buffalo. “It’s a great show. I think it’s the one BEN LEUNER/AMC show compared to the others where it’s not about a big firm.” “Better Call Saul” puts a new spin on legal drama as the slippery Jimmy McGill (played by Bob Odenkirk) Also a fan is Michael Benz, an associate at HoganWillig who recently returned to builds his practice. his native Buffalo after working in the Philadelphia public defender’s office and in his own practice as a criminal defense attorney. “(Odenkirk’s character is) the classic defense attorney who will do anything to make a buck or help his client,” Benz said, adding that he often binge-watches shows with his wife, Carla, an attorney in the federal public defender’s office in Buffalo.

Abstract In 1997 HBO aired its first original drama series, Oz. In the years that have followed the network has positioned itself as vanguard in the television landscape, however, HBO drama series have remained a complicated, and often dangerous site for female characters. Moreover, with a few exceptions (Sex and the City, or True Blood for example), original HBO drama series remain focused on the network’s primary audience demographic: the predominantly male, relatively affluent consumers of quality television. This research explores the representation of female detectives within original HBO crime drama series, The Wire (2002--8) and Season Two of True Detective (2014 -), in order to examine how female officers, operate within the male-dominated world of HBO drama.

  • An Introduction to the Police Procedural: a Subgenre of the Detective Genre*
    Vol. 31, No. 1 (February 2019) HUMANIORA page 33—40 https://jurnal.ugm.ac.id/jurnal-humaniora https://doi.org/10.22146/jh.v31i1.15309 An Introduction to the Police Procedural: A Subgenre of the Detective Genre* Fitria Akhmerti Primasita1; Heddy Shri Ahimsa-Putra2 1 English Department, Sebelas Maret University Surakarta, Indonesia; 2 Department of Anthropology, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Indonesia Corresponding Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Based on library research and observation, this paper aims to introduce the police procedural as a subgenre of the detective genre. To achieve this aim, this paper elaborates three definitions of police procedural. The discussion shows that experts have apparently provided a working definition of the police procedural after having identified how the new variant is different from, and yet remains the same as the “parent” genre. While the third definition puts emphasis on the authentic and realistic aspects of the police procedural, the first two definitions can be used as a reference to elaborately discuss the police procedural as a variant or subgenre of the detective genre. The police procedural retains the basic conventional elements of the detective genre—plot and motifs, character, setting, theme, and props, but it twists these elements and turns them into an invention with the intention of keeping the interest of the readers and viewers. Having established itself as a subgenre, the police procedural has grown to become formulaic by creating its own conventions. It is a formula that is generally employed by writers and has come to be expected by readers or viewers. By doing so, the police procedural has helped the detective genre as its “parents” genre stay popular.

  • Black Masculinity Representation on Criminal Minds
    An African American Man in Police Procedural Drama: Black Masculinity Representation on Criminal Minds Sarah Khansa Agharid1, Muhammad Fuad2 {[email protected], [email protected]} 1,2 American Studies, School of Strategic and Global Studies, Universitas Indonesia, Jakarta, Indonesia Abstract. This paper analyses how black masculinity is portrayed, constructed, and performed in a police procedural drama scenario through the character of Derek Morgan in Criminal Minds. The representation of African Americans in this genre is mostly negative. The paper aims to see how the portrayal of Derek Morgan is empowering or stereotyping the representation of black masculinity. Related scenes and dialogues were analyzed using Eder’s clock of character analysis. To some extent, as the only black officer in the team, Derek’s representation is opposite to the typical characteristic of stereotype typically attributed to African American males. Derek is a loving, determined, committed, benevolent, and daring black man. However, this representation of reconstructed black masculinity is perhaps only possible on a television series within the context of police procedural drama as a law enforcer. Keywords: African American men, black masculinity, police procedural drama, Criminal Minds. 1 Introduction Television is one of the media used to entertain people when they are at home. Television creates a space where we can hear stories we have never heard in everyday life. The problem of representation on TV can be one of the issues that are always discussed when the fictional space on television interpreted to the real world. Marginalized groups usually get affected by their representation on TV, and one of them is the African American group.

Retelling the Darkest Story: Mystery, Suspense, and Detectives in a Brief Written on Behalf of a Condemned Inmate by Philip N. Meyer* I've never used the whodunit technique, since it is concerned altogether with mystification, which diffuses and unfocuses suspense. It is possible to build up almost unbearable tension in a play or film in which the audience knows who the murderer is all the time, and from the very start they want to scream out to all the other characters in the plot, "Watch out for So-and-So! He's a killer!" There you have the real tenseness and an irresistible desire to know what happens, instead of a group of characters deployed in a human chess problem.
