520 $a This comparative media project explores gender as a socially constructed concept and historical category constantly in flux. Throughout I utilize diverse women-orientated artifacts, focusing primarily on those residing in the popular culture realm, to track the production and consumption of gendered myths through cultural products. I argue that these female-directed texts act as both antagonist and aid for feminist work but that, if refashioned or reread, they can assist in countering hegemonic lesson concerning normative gender behavior. This study attends to the mediated form cultural objects take on, arguing that this affects their social and political utility. My theories of "la production feminine" and "feminine mediature" analyze the strategic and creative ways that female-directed media, work to create an overlooked space "in-between" for feminist politics to develop under the watchful eye of patriarchy. This project claims that feminist texts, regardless of form, often share similar aesthetic styles and are "producerly." As such, these cultural artifacts consist of layered semantic levels, allow for multiple readings and interpretations, and promote active consumption, but do so under the guise of simplicity. Although this work is done through a feminist lens, this comparative study concerning the utility of serial texts over isolated texts can be applied to a plethora of cultural artifacts (mass consumed or not, female-directed or not).
520 $a The first portion of this dissertation focuses on televisual texts, in particular the soap opera long popular with women. I use these programs to historicize various postmodern cultural forms (and the epoch itself), feminist theories of gender, and the affective shifts of spectatorship. I argue that television is perhaps the most pervasive, influential, and omnipotent presence in our lives, and that the reign of this image-supplier is restructuring how individuals think and feel about the world at large---and gender relations in particular. As a project inhabiting the cultural studies camp as well as that of literary scholarship, its final portion includes field research concerning textual production, audience reception, and fandom.
