Soft cover. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. THE NEW FEMALE ANTIHERO: THE DISRUPTIVE WOMEN OF TWENTY-FIRST-CENTURY US TELEVISION, Sarah Hagelin and Gillian Silverman, softcover, stated first printing, illustrated, 2022. BOOK CONDITION: fine. The text block is in fine condition, with no tears, dogears, or marks. No signature or bookplate of a prior owner. Not a library book or remainder. The wraps are in fine condition. 9x6, 265 pages, 14 ounces XX [From the back cover] THE NEW FEMALE ANTIHERO examines the hard-edged spies, ruthless queens, and entitled slackers of twenty-first-century television. Far from the sunny, sincere persona once demanded of female characters, the new female antihero is often deeply unlikeable. In the dramas of the new millennium, she is ambitious and conniving; in comedies, she is self-sabotaging and anti-aspirational. From the devious schemers of Game of Thrones, The Americans, Scandal, and Homeland, to the joyful failures of Girls, Broad City, Insecure, and SMILF, female antiheroes register a deep ambivalence about the promises of liberal feminism. As Sarah Hagelin and Gillian Silverman show, these characters push back against the myth of the woman who "has it all." In so doing, they give us new ways of imagining women's lives in contemporary America. XX Though nearly ubiquitous in twenty-first-century US television, the irascible and at times indifferent female antihero has yet to be given her due. Hagelin and Silverman ably fill in this void, putting ambitious and lawless magnates in conversation with their comedic counterparts, figures who prefer self-involvement to striving. Hagelin and Silverman read this new brand of antihero as nothing less than a referendum on liberal feminism (SUZANNE LEONARD, Simmons University). XX After years of scholarship about male antiheroes like Tony Soprano and Walter White, we finally have a book that takes a systematic look at the difference gender makes. Hagelin and Silverman help us think through what makes Daenerys Targaryen, Oliva Pope, and the floundering women in Shame TV comedies so compelling. Their transgressions help us imagine better feminist worlds despite (and through) their flaws and failures (REBECCA WANZO, Washington University in St. Louis). XX If you love television's bad women more than you should, you'll love THE NEW FEMALE ANTIHERO. By including the hit comedies alongside series about killers and assassins, Hagelin and Silverman reveal the larger implications of these unruly women as threats to traditional femininity. You'll never watch TV's difficult women in quite the same way again (LINDA MIZEJEWSKI, Ohio State University). XX SARAH HAGELIN is associate professor of English and director of women's and gender studies at the University of Colorado Denver. GILLIAN SlLVERMAN is associate professor of English and director of graduate studies at the University of Colorado Denver. Seller Inventory # 002495

Softcover. Condition: Good. The New Female Antihero examines the hard-edged spies, ruthless queens, and entitled slackers of twenty-first-century television.The last ten years have seen a shift in television storytelling toward increasingly complex storylines and characters. In this study, Sarah Hagelin and Gillian Silverman zoom in on a key figure in this transformation: the archetype of the female antihero. Far from the sunny, sincere, plucky persona once demanded of female characters, the new female antihero is often selfish and deeply unlikeable.In this entertaining and insightful study, Hagelin and Silverman explore the meanings of this profound change in the role of women characters. In the dramas of the new millennium, they show, the female antihero is ambitious, conniving, even murderous; in comedies, she is self-centered, self-sabotaging, and anti-aspirational. Across genres, these female protagonists eschew the part of good girl or role model. In their rejection of social responsibility, female antiheroes thus represent a more profound threat to the status quo than do their male counterparts. From the devious schemers of Game of Thrones, The Americans, Scandal, and Homeland, to the joyful failures of Girls, Broad City, Insecure, and SMILF, female antiheroes register a deep ambivalence about the promises of liberal feminism. They push back against the myth of the modern-day super-woman-she who has it all-and in so doing, they give us new ways of imagining womens lives in contemporary America.
