Fictionalized Women in Trouble: an Exploration of the Television Crime Drama CSI: Miami
Fictionalized Women in Trouble: An Exploration of the Television Crime Drama CSI: Miami Sarah Rizun Abstract. This paper details the process and results of conducting an audio-visual content analysis of the television crime drama CSI: Miami. Specifically, a feminist analysis of the fourth season was performed in order to explore the ways in which women are portrayed as criminals and to identify any themes. The results indicate that female criminals are represented as: super models; socio-economically privileged; ‘liberated’; violent; and unreasonable. For the most part, the results are consistent with research on women’s portrayal as criminals in the media and are inconsistent with research on criminalized women’s circumstances in the ‘real world’. The potential effects that such erroneous and negative representations have upon the public, policy-makers, and ultimately criminalized women are vast and perilous. Thus, further research and activism is needed to strengthen the demand for socially responsible media production. I.) INTRODUCTION Today, almost everyone in North America is an audience member of some form of media. Television is an especially popular medium. In fact, “into the 1990s television viewing ranked as the third most time-consuming activity (after sleep, work, or school) for Americans” (Surette, 2007, p.5). Moreover, since its inception, television has relied on crime and violence as key audience-attracting material (Surette, 2007, p.13), and this reliance has increased dramatically in recent years (Chesney-Lind, 1999, p.130). Indeed, “crime and violence [is] the most common content found on television” (Surette, 2007, p.13). Crime dramas have proven to be particularly appealing to the general public, as reflected in the recent proliferation of such programs. -

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. -

Copyright : 2009, Lexington Books Chapter Six The City of Our Times: Space, Identity, and the Body in CSI: Miami Patrick West This' chapter foregrounds televisual representations of the city of Miami in CSI: Miami to, develop, a broader argument about the combined impact of globalization and virtualization on twenty-first century cities and their in habitants. I argue thatsome of the contemporary characteristics of Miami as ,a city are reflect~d in CSI: Mia~i and that, more'than this, the show offers television viewers, a sneak, preview of tomorrow's Miami. While my argu ment is not equally valid for all cities, I claim that Miami is at the forefront of an international urban development trend that will influence the futures of " . many cities. CSI: Miami reflects a break from past experiences of urbanism through its focus on the virtuality of Miami. It suggests' new modes of virtual identity in its diegesis and effects, while the show's dissemination along the television trade routes of global flow emphasizes the postmodem nexus be tween virtualization and· globalization. The convergence of globalization and virtualization concerns the inhabit ants of cities like. Miami because' it further destabilizes postmodernurban environments in which identity' already tends towards the schizophrenic or "psychasthenic" state described, by Celeste Olalquiaga, as a "feeling of being in all places while not really, being anywhere."l Globalization dislodges iden tity from an allegiance to anyone city, while virtualization compromises the connections people enjoy to the physical world; each concerns transports of identity. -

Séries+ Re CSI: Miami
CANADIAN BROADCAST STANDARDS COUNCIL QUEBEC REGIONAL PANEL Séries+ re CSI: Miami (CBSC Decision 09/10-1730) Decided January 25, 2011 G. Moisan (Vice-Chair), Y. Bombardier, A. H. Caron, R. Cohen (ad hoc), V. Dubois THE FACTS The specialty service Séries+ broadcasts a French-language dubbed version of CSI: Miami, which is a dramatic series that follows a team of forensic specialists as they investigate crimes in the titular city. Episodes of the program frequently contain scenes of violent crimes being committed, both as they occur during the story or via flashbacks as the investigators piece together the clues. Séries+ aired the program at 5:00 pm with a rating of 13+. The CBSC received a complaint from a viewer who was concerned that the program was too violent for the 5:00 pm time slot that Séries+ had selected for the series (the full text of that and all other correspondence can be found in the Appendix, available in French only). In his letter of June 8, 2010, the complainant noted that a previous CBSC decision regarding the broadcast of Les experts: Manhattan (CSI: New York) on conventional television network TQS (now V) found that two episodes of that CSI series should only have been aired after the start of the “Watershed” hour of 9:00 pm and with a rating of 16+. Based on that previous decision, he expressed the view that [translation] “Clearly, CSI: Miami has been incorrectly classified and given the wrong time slot. It is frightening to see that children coming home from school (my own daughter in this case) can have fingertip access to so much violence and gore.” 2 Given that the complainant’s initial letter was about the series in general, in accordance with the CBSC’s customary practice, the Secretariat requested that he provide examples of the dates and times of specific episodes that concerned him. -
