“…(Call the Midwife, BBC, 2012-). Al igual que en Cuéntame cómo pasó, el relato vincula las vivencias visualizadas de la joven enfermera Jenny Lee, con los eventos narrados por la voz en off de su "Yo" mayor y, por tanto, mediados por la memoria, el filtro de la experiencia, las características de una voz femenina senior y el acceso privilegiado a situaciones que no presenció (Jennings y Krainitzki, 2015). El contexto de enunciación está notablemente ausente de la narración: la audiencia sabe quién era Jenny pero no quién es, a excepción de algunos rasgos que pueden inferirse de sus comentarios (Santana, 2015).…”

En el contexto de la “Quality TV” la ficción televisiva está recuperando la voz en off que se resignifica e integra de diversas formas dentro del relato. Frente a la concepción clásica de la voz en off masculina –omnipresente, omnisciente y omnipotente- en las series contemporáneas surgen diversas voces femeninas que vehiculan una parte de la historia y apelan a la audiencia de múltiples formas. El objeto del presente estudio ha sido el de analizar el papel de las voces femeninas en la ficción televisiva actual, especialmente en aquellas series que cuentan con un empleo innovador de estas voces en off atendiendo a su relación con su fuente o imagen. Partiendo del análisis del discurso crítico como metodología de investigación se llevó a cabo el estudio de las voces de El cuento de la criada, Por trece razones, La Casa de las Flores y Alias Grace desde la perspectiva de su corporalización. Un análisis que permitió determinar tres manifestaciones diferentes de liberación y poder de estas voces en off femeninas: a través de la muerte, como forma de resistencia o de narradora poco fiable.

“…Analyses produced from an ageing studies perspective have established that contemporary twenty-first century notions of age and generation embed identities within restrictive linear and normative chronologies (Baars 2012;Halberstam 2005;Jennings and Krainitzki 2015). These chronologies work to reinforce and reiterate ageist narratives that position ageing as bleak decline (Woodward 1999;Gullette 2004).…”

“…These understandings operate within the systems of power that construct: 'historical, cultural, social and political subjects' (Anderson 2006: 115) and which, within the narrative, are played out, 'through the reality of women's lives, rather than through the abstract' (Sharma 2013). The narrative ethos of Call the Midwife can be encapsulated by the concepts of 'service, community and women's friendships' (Jennings and Krainitzki 2015) and is set in opposition to the more individualistic 'sensibility' of postfeminism (Gill Ibid.). Within the communal values of the drama, Sister…”

This article focuses on two female ensemble dramas Tenko (BBC/Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 1981–5) and Call the Midwife (BBC, 2012–) and uses an ageing studies lens to explore the way that the ensemble format provides a particularly rich insight into the relationship between women, ageing and understandings of women's identity over time. The two dramas provide complex and evocative links between the spaces and times of British politics, culture and society in different historical periods enabling a highly nuanced engagement with the ideological constructions of concepts of age and women's gendered identities.

“…Television has been identified as the space where normative concepts of femininity and ageing have been contested most consistently, be it in presenting more complex and multi-layered representations of ageing femininities(Jennings and Krainitzki 2015) or transgressive images of old age in new television formats(Krainitzki 2016).…”

“Older-wiser-lesbians” and “baby-dykes”: mediating age and generation in New Queer Cinema

Representations of intersections of gender, age, and sexuality can reveal deep-rooted cultural anxieties about older women and sexuality. Images of lesbian ageing are of particular interest in terms of alterity, as the old/er queer woman can combine layers of otherness-not only is she the cultural "other" within heteronormativity, but she can also appear as the opposite of popular culture's lesbian chic. In this article, a cultural analysis of a range of films-If These Walls Could Talk 2 (dir. Anderson, Coolidge, and Heche 2000), Itty Bitty Titty Committee (dir. Babbit 2007), The Owls (dir. Dunye 2010), Hannah Free (dir. Carlton 2009), and Cloudburst (dir. Fitzgerald 2011)-considers diverse dramatisations of lesbian generations. This article interrogates to what extent alternative cinemas deconstruct normative conceptualisations of ageing. Drawing on recent critiques of post-feminist culture, and a range of feminist and age/ing studies scholarship, it suggests that a linear understanding of ageing and the generational underlies dominant depictions of oppositional binaries of young versus old, of generational segregation or rivalry, and the othering of age. It concludes that non-linear understandings of temporality and ageing contain the potential for New Queer Cinema to counteract such idealisations of youthfulness, which, it argues, is one of the most deep-rooted manifestations of (hetero)normativity.
