Temp Cyborgs
This article analyzes three primetime television series: Chuck and Bionic Woman on NBC and Dollhouse on Fox. The narratives and representations in the three programs raise questions about the role of immaterial labor, gender, and technology in contemporary life. Each series articulates and reifies the unequal sexual division of labor around prized technological work. The texts also express the instability of humanity as it becomes ever more intim…

An idea whose time has come? Mental health, social inclusion and housing
The Social Exclusion Unit's report on mental health, published in the summer of 2004, had surprisingly little to say about housing. But behind the scenes there has been a ferment of activity, and the National Institute for Mental Health for England (NIMHE) has been given the lead role in advancing all central government efforts to create a more joined‐up vision of mental health for the 21st century. NIMHE has taken the lead on implementation of t…
Mental health, social inclusion and housing
Social inclusion means ensuring that all individuals, despite any particular perceived ‘differentness’ (Sayce, 2000; Harrison & Davis, 2001) or disadvantage in life, may nevertheless feel at home in the world and find a sense of belonging in their local community. But the most important place to feel at home is at home

The discreet charm of thepetitecelebrity
This paper analyses MTV's My Super Sweet 16 as an articulation of a cultural position that the author has termed petite celebrity. The term petite (or petty) expresses a subordinated relationship to accomplished celebrity that is built upon reverence and aspiration because petite celebrities consume products and fashion associated with celebrity stars to try to articulate their own sense of distinction. An analysis of the first season generated t…
