Legal Drama and Popularization: a Macro and Micro-Linguistic Analysis of the Genre UNIVERSITÀ DEGLI STUDI DI NAPOLI FEDERICO II DIPARTIMENTO DI SCIENZE POLITICHE SCUOLA DI DOTTORATO IN SCIENZE PSICOLOGICHE, PEDAGOGICHE E LINGUISTICHE DOTTORATO DI RICERCA IN LINGUA INGLESE PER SCOPI SPECIALI (XXVII CICLO) Legal drama and popularization: a macro and micro-linguistic analysis of the genre CANDIDATO: dott. ADRIANO LAUDISIO RELATORE: COORDINATORE: prof. PAOLO DONADIO prof.ssa GABRIELLA DI MARTINO ANNO ACCADEMICO 2015/2016 1 Acknowledgements The last four years, during which I attended the PhD programme in English for Special Purposes at the ‘Federico II’ University of Naples, have probably been the hardest in my whole life. I have bumped against several obstacles and I have often thought about surrendering. However, the passion for what I do and the help of many precious people have helped me get to the end of this journey. Thanks to the funding sources received from the University of Naples ‘Federico II’ for the STAR Research Programme, I have been able to broaden the horizons of my research to fields that were still unexplored to me at the Aarhus University, under the guidance of Professor Jan Engberg. I have seen in him a mentor, he has guided me through my research with long, inspirational conversations, made of constructive comments and moments of personal exchange. I am grateful to Jan for believing in me and for supporting me. I am equally grateful to my main supervisor, Paolo Donadio. He has provided me academic guidance throughout the whole programme and always shown incredible patience and helpfulness by correcting my papers and presentations, or writing me letters of references with short notice; he has taught me how to ‘think’ as an academic, how to write down in words what I think and I honestly appreciate the person he is beyond the academic world. Today I know I would have never liked to have another supervisor. I am deeply grateful to all the Professors of the PhD programme: to Prof. Gabriella Di Martino for always encouraging me and being supportive in all my initiatives, including my periods of research abroad; to Prof. Vanda Polese for supporting me with her wise comments when I applied for the STAR programme; to Cristina Pennarola for always showing a sincere interest in what I was doing and more recently, for being my mentor in my new job at the ‘Accademia Aeronautica’. I am grateful to Giuditta Caliendo for showing me how to handle with students and with research and for giving me the possibility to work with her and acting as a ‘vice’-supervisor; special thanks also go to Prof. Julia Bamford for introducing me to the academic world. I thank Marco Venuti, for keeping me aware of the obstacles of academic research. I thank Antonella Napolitano, for being so kind and motherly to me despite not seeing me every day. I could never forget to thank the precious Mena Vilardi, who has always reminded us of our institutional duties and always been kind and helpful, together with Cinzia Della Monica’s support. I am moved while I am writing how thankful I am to all the other PhD colleagues. Special thanks go to Eleonora Esposito and Antonio Compagnone for sharing this adventure with me from the very first moment. I would also like to thank Lina Ferrante, who was the best companion I could have for the first year. Heartfelt thanks go to Annarita Magliacane, whom I have known since before the PhD and has been a constant support; to Antonio Fruttaldo and Francesca Raffi, two beautiful and brilliant people who have shared with me the emotions of this last year in particular; to Angela Zottola and all the others for always being there and being of mutual support. I feel particularly indebted to two other people: Alba Sole Zollo, for being the ‘link’ between the young PhD students and the ‘big’ Professors ever since I started, and to Cristina Nisco, who has always been an example to follow. She probably does not know it, but I am particularly grateful to her for the time she told 2 on the phone not to give up. She was right. Finally, thank you Cristina Aiezza, for being the best friend I have found thanks to this PhD programme, for supporting me in every moment and for always being on the same wavelength. I am also grateful to those who have been my ‘second family’ for six months: all the PhD students at the Aarhus University (Heidi, Thomas, Mathias, Nicolai, Casper and so on) and all the members of the Research Group in Knowledge Communication, for always making me feel like home and giving me academic and personal support. I have no words to thank Adrian Bedford, who was an essential figure to write this thesis, for his ‘linguistic’ support. A (perhaps unexpected) ‘thankyou’ goes to Antonella, for being on my side in the first two years. I will never forget how supportive you have been and how much you have helped me. Of course, my final thoughts go to the most important people of my life: my mother and father, my mother’s partner, my brothers and sister and my best friends. Thank you for always being there. Thank you for having so much patience. Thank you for believing in me and for always ‘pushing’ to do more. 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgements ......................................................................................................................

  • The Cases of the Good Wife, Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Jane the Virgin1
    «Comunicazioni sociali», 2015, n. 2, 142-152 © 2015 Vita e Pensiero / Pubblicazioni dell’Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore PAOLA BREMBILLA* - LUCIA TRALLI** “WITH 22 EPISODES A YEAR”: SEARCHING FOR QUALITY IN US NETWORK TELEVISION: THE CASES OF THE GOOD WIFE, BROOKLYN NINE-NINE AND JANE THE VIRGIN1 Abstract The notion of “quality television” has been endlessly revised over the last three decades. Giv- en the medium’s technological, institutional, economic and aesthetic evolution, various scholars have probed and explored its forms of quality, focusing especially on the US scenario, a notable forerunner and leader in the development and international distribution of TV shows. Applied to the American industry, this ever-evolving definition has some recurrent features that make it a sort of “super-genre”, a label for TV series that share some elements of “prestige”. Concentrating on the US scenario, where nowadays “quality” mainly tends to be a label for cable series, this paper aims to identify those prestige features and to answer the question: is there such a thing as quality network television in a cable-dominated market? After establishing a theoretical framework by tracing how the notion of quality television has evolved, the article focuses on three contemporary case studies: CBS’s The Good Wife, The CW’s Jane the Virgin and Fox’s Brooklyn Nine-Nine. We see how these three series share some aesthetic and narrative tropes that exploit broadcast television’s weaknesses and restrictions to appeal to a certain upscale audience, resulting in critical acclaim and awards. In conclusion, we argue that several characteristics of quality cable television can be ap- plied to a wave of network television productions that, although based on the standard formats of broadcast storytelling, are critically comparable to more acclaimed shows, ultimately fitting into the prestige series super-genre.

Associate Professor Nan Alamilla Boyd Ph.D. Professor THE GOOD BI: QUEER PHENOMENOLOGY, EXCESS AND NON-MONOSEXUAL REPRESENTATION Allegra Laurel Hirschman San Francisco, California 2015 In this thesis I apply a queer phenomenological lens to the CBS serial legal drama The Good Wife (2009-present), theorizing bisexuality as an embodied practice, epistemological frame, and representational mode. Using the notion of “spoiling” - refusing to keep narrative secrets, challenging monosexual happiness scripts, and defying temporally-based ideas of identity - I explain how bisexuality has been cast a spoiler within political and cultural representation. I argue that triangulations offer points of contact that unsettle temporal demands of identity and progressive notions of minority visibility, and that the courtroom as a bisexual space reveals how many of the tropes associated with bisexuality (opportunism, switching sides, ambivalence) are normalized in characters with social and political capital. By centering explicitly and ambiguously bisexual secondary characters, and reading layered political and legal plotlines in The Good Wife I explore bisexuality materially and metaphorically to consider what bodies are deemed worthy of representation, both in its legal and media connotations.
