  • Stemming the Tide: the Presentation of Women Scientists in CSI
    http://genderandset.open.ac.uk Stemming the Tide: The Presentation of Women Scientists in CSI Shane Warren1, Mark Goodman1, Rebecca Horton1, Nate Bynum2 1Mississippi State University, 2University of Nevada Las Vegas, USA ABSTRACT This paper evaluates the role of Sara Sidle played by Jorja Fox in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) for 15 years, and her female co-stars, allowing us to discuss specific rewards and punishments (Fiske, 1987) assigned over the course of many episodes. 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.

  • 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.

    Una Voce 2012 i Una Voce 2012 Student Editors Gil Grissom, Reggie Jennings, Rhiannon Johns, Angel Jones, The Dang, Nicole Nave, Jamie Neisinger, Farrance Quins, Mekao Tramil Faculty Advisor Mary Fox Layout and Design by Dean Davis Photographs by Ann Williams ii Una Voce 2012 Introduction In 2001, two TCC writing teachers embarked on a project to publish the beautiful essays being written by Tacoma Community College students. They named the new magazine Una Voce, a Latin term meaning “with one voice.” But, in those 12 years, the voices we hear, and, especially, the channels through which we hear them, have changed dramatically. It’s no exaggeration to say that we are living in a different world. In the spring of 2001, the 9/11 terrorist attacks were still a couple of months away. Facebook? Wouldn’t happen for three more years. And now, here we are: Our country is at war. We have an African-American president. We don’t buy many books, but many of us read novels on our cell phones. Can you imagine what we’ll be doing 12 years from now? I can’t. Still, around the world and here on campus, people continue to write thoughtfully, often eloquently, about ideas and events about which they care deeply. In fact, it seems clear that we are writing more now than ever before, and we have a dizzying array of physical and digital tools at our disposal, constant access to these tools, and a never-ending parade of free on-line resources that encourage us to communicate with each other.

  • Journal of Research on Women and Gender March 1, 2010
    Journal of Research on Women and Gender March 1, 2010 Choice or Chance? Gender, Victimization, and Responsibility in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation Katherine Foss, Middle Tennessee State University In nine seasons of the television program CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, five out of the six original Crime Scene Investigators become crime victims themselves. Nick Stokes is kidnapped and buried alive. Catherine Willows is drugged, abducted, and left naked in a motel. A street gang assaults Greg Sanders after he interrupts their beating up a tourist. The “miniature killer” abducts Sara Sidle and pins her under a car in the desert. And finally, CSI Warrick Brown is murdered in a dark alley by a corrupt police officer. When CSIs become victims, the Las Vegas police force focuses all of its efforts on solving the crime, except in the abduction of Catherine, which goes unreported. In season eight, Catherine accepts a drink from an unknown patron at a local bar. A few scenes later, she wakes up naked and alone in a discount motel. Instead of calling the police, Catherine processes her body for physical evidence and calls Sara Sidle for assistance. Sara asks Catherine why she contaminated the evidence, making it “inadmissible” in court. Catherine replies, “I didn‟t want an official investigation. I just want to know what happened.” By knowingly covering up her crime, Catherine‟s actions suggest that she feels embarrassed and ashamed. The connection between Catherine‟s initial actions (accepting a drink from a stranger) to her desire to cover up the crime, particularly when the other CSIs themselves had reported their victimizations in other situations, suggests that she believes she should have protected herself from becoming victimized.
