We reviewed three of the 15 years of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation to understand the media presentation of women scientists. We found that CSI did present stereotypical views of the female investigators and that the female characters playing these roles were often punished by the script. However, we also found that the show provided an opportunity for the story of women to be told by these female characters. Accordingly, our examination of the character of Sara Sidle and the other forensic scientists found that the portrayal was more complex than previously literature suggests.

INTRODUCTION:LATCRIT AND/AS CULTCRIT Between its premiere in the fall of 2002 and the summer of 2007, more than 125 hour-long episodes of CSI: Miami aired on CBS in the United States, and on many other stations worldwide. It is now entering its seventh season, and has been, at times, the most-watched television program on the planet.1 This top-rated show brings images of Miami, Florida, and its inha- bitants—men and women of all races, ethnicities, national origins, immigra- tion statuses, and linguistic competencies—to many North Americans who live in communities almost devoid of Latina/o inhabitants, to the great Lati- na/o population centers in the U.S., and to millions of non-U.S.

  • 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.

  • CSI and Forensic Realism
    CSI and Forensic Realism By Sarah Keturah Deutsch University of Wisconsin Law School Gray Cavender Arizona State University School of Justice & Social Inquiry CSI has consistently been among the top rated television programs since its debut in 2000. What is the secret to its popularity? Our analysis reveals that CSI combines the traditions of television's crime genre, especially the police procedural, with a creative sense of forensic realism. CSI constructs the illusion of science through its strategic web of forensic facticity. Ironically, although CSI depicts unrealistic crimes in a melodramatic fashion, this crime drama does so in a manner that suggests that its science is valid, that the audience understands science and can use it to solve crimes. Keywords: forensic facticity; TV crime genre; police procedural INTRODUCTION CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) has enjoyed an enviable status in television. Having completed its eighth season, a longevity that is rare in prime time television, this crime drama consistently has been the top rated program in its time slot both in its first run and rerun incarnations (see Nielsen Ratings, June 20-26, 2005; Toff, 7 April 2007: A16). Not only has CSI generated two successful spin-off series (CSI: Miami and CSI: NY), it has pushed forensic science terms and concepts into the popular discourse. Accompanying this diffusion has been the sense that science and the police are virtually infallible. Crime genre programs have been a staple since television's inception. The success of programs from Dragnet to NYPD Blue has evidenced the audience's fascination with crime dramas. In one sense, CSI has been another program in a long line of television crime dramas, and it has exhibited features common to the genre, for example, plots that were driven by violent crimes and the search for the criminal.
