The Emergence of Trans
Introduction
The Bad Patient
Cancer has long been a cultural touchstone: a metaphor of devastation and a spectre of social as well as bodily anomie and loss. Yet recent years have witnessed significant transformations in perceptions of cancer, particularly in perceptions of the cancer patient. This paper is concerned with the 'struggles of subjectivity' emergent in this transvalued cancer culture. Explored from the standpoint of the 'bad patient', and drawing on media and cu…
Estranged Bodies
This introductory article provides a contextual and theoretical overview to this special issue of Body & Society. The special issue presents five selected case studies - focusing on the contexts of transplantation, psychiatry, amputation and war, and a transvalued media ecology of cancer - to offer meditations on a number of interlinked questions. The first of these is the entanglement of biomedical governance - political/economic as well as self…
Medicalization and beyond
What role do the media play in the medicalization of sleep problems? This article, based on a British Academy funded project, uses qualitative textual analysis to examine representations of insomnia and snoring in a large representative sample of newspaper articles taken from the UK national press from the mid-1980s to the present day. Constructed as `common problems' in the population at large, insomnia and snoring we show are differentially loc…
Reading Sleep through Science Fiction
s This article examines the iconic `Beggars' trilogy by feminist science fiction writer, Nancy Kress. These novels, produced in the early to mid-1990s, take as their `thought experiment' two points of rupture and contemporary cultural contestation: the advent of human genetic engineering and sleep, or, more specifically, the prospect of a sleepless society. I shall begin by situating my analysis of the Kress trilogy in this nexus of fields. I sha…
The Social Construction of Sleep and Work in the British Print News Media
This article presents a sociological study of sleep issues in the British print news media, with particular focus on the relationship between sleep, work and the changing demands of 'flexible capitalism'. Drawing on over 1000 newspaper articles from 1984 to 2005, we explore how and why sleep is framed or constructed in terms of continuity and change (in British working life and work cultures) and, equally, viewed as a neglected component of our s…
Waking up to sleepiness
This paper examines the social construction of the new wakefulness-promoting drug Modafinil (brand name Provigil) in the British press. Key themes in this newspaper coverage include the potential 'uses' and 'abuses' of this drug in relation to: (i) medical conditions; (ii) lifestyle choices; (iii) military operations; and (iv) sporting competition. The British press, we show, play a dual role in reporting on these trends and developments: on the …
The Face of Ruin
The Michael Jackson trial represented a spectacular and, indeed, macabre event on a global scale. The trial keyed into a number of contemporaneous cultural anxieties and fascinations. These include: a seemingly inexhaustible popular craving for celebrity, excess and scandal; the totalising proliferation of surveillance culture; the “corruption” of jurisprudence itself through the televisualisation of criminal trials (most notably that of OJ Simps…

Who are you Sleeping With? the Construction of Heteronormativity in Stories about Sleep in British Newspapers
In popular British understanding the terms 'sleeping' or 'slept' are often used to mean sex, and (hetero)sex is seen as crucial to sustaining intimate relationships. This study of UK newspapers coverage shows that stories about sleep and sleeping arrangements can be seen to (re)produce heteronormativity through focusing on the (heterosexual) 'marital bed'. The 'marital bed' is constructed as both the physical and symbolic centre of successful het…

Life in the Bleep-Cycle
American1 talk television has cut a significant swathe across the broadcasting landscape. As a genre it is one of the most extensively syndicated and franchised media forms world-wide. American talk shows have long been pre-eminent not only in the massive export of multiple products, but also as genre-setting influences in the relatively recent proliferation of home-grown American-style talk shows in other countries. Moreover, American talk show …
Mourning Diana
Examining the events which followed the death of Princess Diana as a series of cultural-political phenomena, this text explores the performance of grief and the involvement of the global media
Twice Told Tales
In this article we explore the narratives and discursive frameworks which were deployed in the second Age of Consent debate in the British House of Commons in order to identify shifts, continuities and emergent elements in sexual politics in the late 1990s. In the first section we will be looking at questions of theory and method. Here we will draw, particularly, on ideas of narrative and discourse, exploring their relation to each other and how …

All Het Up
The Oprah Winfrey Show provides an interesting set of contradictions. On the one hand, it appears to challenge common-sense assumptions about relationships, specifically heterosexual relationships (for example, by consistently raising issues of sexual violence within a heterosexual context). Yet, at the same time, Oprah's presentation often works to reinforce precisely the norms she seeks to challenge. Through a close analysis of a selection of p…

It is difEcult to identify the boundaries of what constitutes ecofeminism as both a field of critical theory and as a politics.
