Description

Explore the connection between national trauma and media representation in this academic study from Bloomsbury. Following the events of 9/11, American television saw a surge in apocalyptic narratives, from science fiction hits like Firefly and Battlestar Galactica to genre-defining shows like Lost and Heroes. This book examines how these world-ending scenarios reflect changing views on masculinity and femininity. As commentators noted a regression in gender roles during this era, this work investigates the potential links between the feelings of insecurity felt by the nation and the way gender is portrayed on screen. It provides a deep look at how science fiction and fantasy series serve as a mirror for the social shifts occurring in the United States. Whether you are studying media studies, sociology, or television history, this text offers a detailed look at how disaster narratives shape our understanding of identity in a post-9/11 world.
