Sisters in Crime - Prime
Suspects: The Changing Role of Women in the TV Crime Genre with Fiona Eagger
& Sue Turnbull - 8pm Friday 24/7 at The Rising Sun Hotel, cnr Raglan St
& Eastern Rd, South Melbourne
Fiona Eagger producer of Miss
Fisher’s Murder Mysteries will interrogate Professor Sue Turnbull about how the
representation of women in television crime dramas has mirrored the trajectory
of women over the past 70 years.
In Professor Turnbull’s new
book, The TV Crime Drama (Edinburgh
University Press), she argues: “Despite a perception that the television crime
drama may be an inherently ‘masculine’ genre… women have played a key role in television
crime drama right from the start, not just as a helpless victim or the
untrustworthy femme fatale, but increasingly as a major player in the unfolding
investigation and always as a potential member of the television audience at
home….”
