  • Lesbian Brides: Post-Queer Popular Culture
    Lesbian Brides: Post-Queer Popular Culture Dr Kate McNicholas Smith, Lancaster University Department of Sociology Bowland North Lancaster University Lancaster LA1 4YN [email protected] Professor Imogen Tyler, Lancaster University Department of Sociology Bowland North Lancaster University Lancaster LA1 4YN [email protected] Abstract The last decade has witnessed a proliferation of lesbian representations in European and North American popular culture, particularly within television drama and broader celebrity culture. The abundance of ‘positive’ and ‘ordinary’ representations of lesbians is widely celebrated as signifying progress in queer struggles for social equality. Yet, as this article details, the terms of the visibility extended to lesbians within popular culture often affirms ideals of hetero-patriarchal, white femininity. Focusing on the visual and narrative registers within which lesbian romances are mediated within television drama, this article examines the emergence of what we describe as ‘the lesbian normal’. Tracking the ways in which the lesbian normal is anchored in a longer history of “the normal gay” (Warner 2000), it argues that the lesbian normal is indicative of the emergence of a broader post-feminist and post-queer popular culture, in which feminist and queer struggles are imagined as completed and belonging to the past. Post-queer popular culture is depoliticising in its effects, diminishing the critical potential of feminist and queer politics, and silencing the actually existing conditions of inequality, prejudice and stigma that continue to shape lesbian lives. Keywords: Lesbian, Television, Queer, Post-feminist, Romance, Soap-Opera Lesbian Brides: Post-Queer Popular Culture Increasingly…. to have dignity gay people must be seen as normal (Michael Warner 2000, 52) I don't support gay marriage despite being a Conservative.

CST 15: 3 : HOGG (interview with Julie Hesmondhalgh) : 1 A Class Act: an interview with Julie Hesmondhalgh on casting, representation and inclusion in British television drama Christopher Hogg, University of Westminster, UK ABSTRACT In this interview, actor Julie Hesmondhalgh reflects on her rich body of work in British TV drama, connecting her own career narrative to a consideration of wider industry developments in casting and representation, diversity and inclusion. Julie became a household name as Hayley Cropper in Coronation Street (1960- ) from 1998 to 2014. Hayley was the first recurring transgender character in a UK continuing TV drama. Julie has since appeared in a number of critically-acclaimed TV dramas addressing important social concerns ranging from the devastating effects of sexual violence to the experiences of autistic children and their families.
