Feminist Killjoys, Phd

Raechel and Melody discuss the controversy surrounding the new Roseanne re-boot, but first contextualize Roseanne as a working-class icon and the history of working-class representation in television. We unpack racial codings of white and non-white representations, the intersection of gender in class representation, and of course revisit Stuart Hall's encoding/decoding. *** Time stamps: OO:00-06:20 chit-chat 06:21-22:00 history of working-class on TV 22:01-23:58 social plug 24:00-53:00 Roseanne discussion 53:01 RWLs *** Intro: "Top Floor" GRRRL PRTY Middle twinkle: "Fairy Dust" by Soundfx Outro: "Fake Like" POLICA *** Subscribe on iTunes & leave a review!
