  1. 26. Won’t Somebody Think of the (Queer) Children?! : Changing Representations of and Media Reactions to Same-Sex Attraction and Queer Relationships in British Teen Television, 1994 and 2019

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Tema Genus

    Author : Louise Hallman; [2023]
    Keywords : Queer studies; TV studies; LGBTQ ; media representation; media reaction;

    Abstract : This thesis draws on queer theory, media representation, intersectionality and news values to conduct a combined queerfeminist visual and critical discourse analysis examining how representation of same-sex attraction and queer relationships in British teen television—and the media’s reaction to them—has changed between 1994 and 2019.  The queerfeminist visual analysis compares two scenes featuring same-sex attraction between male teenagers in two TV shows: Byker Grove (1989-2006), which featured a chaste but angrily rejected kiss in 1994 and Sex Education (2019-2023), which featured an unseen but implicitly enjoyed blow job in 2019.
