REFERENCES 74 ABSTRACT The recent trends of incorporating unruly women and feminist politics in visual culture possibly signify a new way of representing the female body. This thesis takes television series Broad City as an object of study to critically scrutinize these trends. It asks the question: How are women and female sexuality represented in contemporary visual culture and how do representations and (feminist) politics promote specific behavior? With the use of Foucauldian discourse analysis of sexuality, dress and genre, I examine the functions of governmentality and biopolitics in Broad City and I explore the different behavioral patterns that are promoted. This thesis proposes that Broad City indicates a shift from the neofeminist ideal of a woman to an alternative ideal that is characterized by gender-fluidity, non-normativity and an intersectional feminist political agenda. Furthermore, it proposes that Broad City is ambivalent towards neoliberal ideology as a whole, and that governmentality is not automatically interrelated with neoliberalism. 1. INTRODUCTION In recent years there has been a significant resurgence of claims to ‘feminism’ in popular culture. This stands in contrast with the predominant postfeminist era of the 00’s, which is characterized by individual choice and feminine consumer culture without an explicit political feminist agenda (think of Sex and the City (1998 - 2006, HBO). Examples of this resurgence are Beyoncé at the 2014 VMA’s, proudly taking claim to feminism while the word brightly lit up behind her (figure 1). In September 2014, actress Emma Watson delivered a proclaimed ‘game- changing' speech on gender equality and feminism, which has been watched on YouTube over six million times (2015).1 On the web a great amount of Tumblrs2, blogs3 and Facebook-pages4 have emerged, all dedicated to feminism. Earlier, in 2012, Lena Dunham premiered her series Girls (2012-, HBO), representing females, female sexuality and female friendship in a different way than for example one of the most influential series of the 21st century: Sex and the City. No longer is the woman glamorized in a ‘pink’ world that revolves around consumerism (figure 2). Girls, through its narrative and grimy aesthetics, was one of the first series that represented female bodies as imperfect, raw and authentic (figure 3). Dunham quickly became a feminist icon. Figure 1: Beyoncé at the 2014 VMA’s (Source: Washingtonpost.com) 1https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-iFl4qhBsE 2 https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/feminism 3 http://feministing.com/ 4 https://www.facebook.com/everydayfeminism?fref=ts "1 Figure 2: The glamorized world of Sex and the City. (Source: theredlist.com) Figure 3: Lena Dunham in Girls. (Source: paulienvr.wordpress.com)! "2 Girls is not the only series with claims to feminism in visual culture. There has been a trend, especially in comedy, of females who write and produce television series, movies and web series and practice feminist politics in these series, such as Amy Poehler in Parks and Recreation (Comedy Central, 2009) and Amy Schumer in Inside Amy Schumer (Comedy Central, 2013). These writers seemingly represent female bodies, gender and sexuality in a different way than the glamorized representations of women such as in Sex and the City. These women are less (lipstick) feminine. They are imperfect and fully acceptant of their flawed qualities: they do not confirm to societies rules imposed on women (they are, in contrast, failing their jobs, using explicit language, and they wear androgynous clothing). As Molly Lambert writes: “It seems like in recent times, the culture has expanded slightly to accommodate the idea that ladies can be dumb-asses, too.” (Grantland, 2014). In 2007, Sarah Silverman premiered the Sarah Silverman Program (2007, Comedy Central) (figure 4) in which she negotiated with stereotyped gender roles, race and sexuality. Other examples are Tina Fey portraying Liz Lemon in 30 Rock (a series which she created, and which first aired in 2006), Jenny Slate in Obvious Child (2014) and Abbi and Ilana in Broad City (2014). These unruly women, in contrast to the postfeminist woman – who is characterized by consumerism, individual achievement, and a youthful, overtly feminine appearance – are seemingly defying gender roles and are possibly changing the way we think of how a woman should act. Figure 4: Sarah Silverman in The Sarah Silverman Program (Source: fanpop.com) "3 At the same time, there has been a strong backlash of this growth of feminism in popular culture. While pro-feminism websites began to grow, anti-feminist websites became bigger too. In 2013, a Tumblr “I don’t need feminism because…”5 appeared, showing girls holding posters stating that they’re anti-feminist, individualist, and independent human beings who believe feminism is no longer needed (figure 5). On Facebook, this page has garnered over 30000 likes6. Figure 5: I don’t need feminism because… (Source: Tumblr) In this same period, websites such as Womenagainstfeminism.com and Dontneedfeminism.com popped up, claiming that identifying yourself as feminist is a sign of weakness (e.g. “I don’t need feminism, because I am not a victim”). 5 https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/i-don't-need-feminism-because 6 https://www.facebook.com/WomenAgainstFeminism "4 It is clear that our zeitgeist faces contradictions regarding feminism and female representation in media. Visual culture is trying to redefine the concept of female representation and women and men alike are trying to figure out what it really means to be a woman today. The trends of incorporating unruly women and feminist politics in visual culture possibly signify a new way of representing the female body. These observations raise a number of questions: How are women and female sexuality represented in contemporary visual culture and how can we understand this in a longer tradition of feminist critique? How do these representations reflect our zeitgeist, especially with regard to feminism? What kinds of politics are practiced by these representations? And how do these politics function to promote specific behavior? Or, in other words, how do these politics function in relation to governmentality and biopolitics? What claims to feminism do these constructions actually make and how are they (re)defining feminism in the process? And what changes and continuities are occurring in the representation of women in visual and popular culture? To analyze these questions, this thesis will primarily draw on the works of Foucault Governmentality (1978a), Discipline and Punish (1975), The History of Sexuality (1978b), Society Must Be Defended (2003), Security, Territory, Population (2007 [1977 - 1978] and The Archeology of Knowledge (1989). This thesis will provide an analysis on a narrative and visual level and will elaborate on discourses that are constructed through narrative, mise-en-scene, editing, sound, props and camera. Eventually, these observations will be related to governmentality and biopolitics: which behavioral patterns are promoted? This Foucauldian lens allows me to thoroughly scrutinize my object of study and expose hidden social structures and relationships of power and interrogating the governance of femininity and sexuality within Broad City. This thesis will use television series Broad City (2014 - 2015) as a case study to explore these questions and examine the shifting tendencies of female representation in popular culture. Broad City started out as a web-series in 2009 and it was picked up by Comedy Central in late 2013. The series follows Abbi and Ilana, two women and best friends in their mid-twenties living their daily lives in New York City. It has gained significant popularity and critical appraisal. In late 2011, Wall Street Journal writes that Broad City encapsulates ‘sneak attack feminism’, dealing with annoyances such as cat-calling and having brunch with perfectly put-together girls (S1WEP, 5). Furthermore, A.V. Club critic Caroline Framke calls Abbi and Ilana worth watching, because of their “‘casual take-no-shit attitude’ that’s all their own” (Framke, 2014). Today, "5 running in its second season, approximately 5000 viewers rated Broad City with an 8.6 on IMDB (IMDB, 2015). In addition, it has been confirmed that Broad City is renewed for a third season on Comedy Central (TIME, 2015). In the series - unlike the postfeminist representation of women - the two are failing their jobs, use explicit language, wear androgynous clothing and constantly tangle themselves in awkward situations. However, they do not apologize for it. In fact, they fully embrace their flaws as women and they do not confirm to norms society imposed on them.

  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

  • Postfeminism and Urban Space Oddities in Broad City." Space Oddities: Difference and Identity in the American City
    Lahm, Sarah. "'Yas Queen': Postfeminism and Urban Space Oddities in Broad City." Space Oddities: Difference and Identity in the American City. Ed. Stefan L. Brandt and Michael Fuchs. Vienna: LIT Verlag, 2018. 161-177. ISBN 978-3-643-50797-6 (pb). "VAS QUEEN": POSTFEMINISM AND URBAN SPACE ODDITIES IN BROAD CITY SARAH LAHM Broad City's (Comedy Central, since 2014) season one episode "Working Girls" opens with one of the show's most iconic scenes: In the show's typical fashion, the main characters' daily routines are displayed in a split screen, as the scene underline the differ­ ences between the characters of Abbi and Ilana and the differ­ ent ways in which they interact with their urban environment. Abbi first bonds with an older man on the subway because they are reading the same book. However, when he tries to make ad­ vances, she rejects them and gets flipped off. In clear contrast to Abbi's experience during her commute to work, Ilana intrudes on someone else's personal space, as she has fallen asleep on the subway and is leaning (and drooling) on a woman sitting next to her (who does not seem to care). Later in the day, Abbi ends up giving her lunch to a homeless person who sits down next to her on a park bench, thus fitting into her role as the less assertive, more passive of the two main characters. Meanwhile, Ilana does not have lunch at all, but chooses to continue sleeping in the of­ ficebathroom, in which she smoked a joint earlier in the day.

  • What Will It Take to Save Comedy Central?
    What Will it Take to Save Comedy Central? 08.16.2016 Comedy Central's cancellation of The Nightly Show is the latest in a series of signals that all is not well at the network that was once the home of the country's sharpest political satire and news commentary. On Monday, Comedy Central announced that it was cancelling the show, which took Stephen Colbert's Colbert Report time slot in February 2015 when Colbert moved over to CBS' The Late Show. The move was not surprising considering the ratings: The Nightly Show is averaging a barely-there 0.2 among its key demographic of adults 18-49. RELATED: Comedy Central Cancels 'The Nightly Show' But The Nightly Show's failure to catch on is not the only problem at Comedy Central. Consider its late-night partner, The Daily Show, long the network's marquee program with host Jon Stewart. Stewart left the show just over a year ago and was replaced with South African comic Trevor Noah, who was hand-picked by Stewart. But despite Comedy Central's best efforts to reassure the media and audiences that Noah would eventually catch on, so far he hasn't. In May, The Wrap reported that The Daily Show had lost 38% of Stewart's audience among millennials aged 18-34 and 35% in households. And that comes at a time when the country is in the middle of a presidential election that lends itself extremely well to satire. It's also proven to be a mistake to let so much of its talent walk out the door, with Stephen Colbert going to CBS, John Oliver to HBO and Samantha Bee to TBS, taking much of Comedy Central's brand equity with them.
