“…This ambivalence makes Mare of Easttown what Mythili Rajiva and Stephanie Patrick (2021), in an essay about the stalker thriller You (2018–2024), call a “threshold text” in which regressive and progressive politics meet. The question of regressive and progressive feminism has been particularly important for scholars of other Anglo-American serial dramas that also rely upon the detection of a serial rapist or murderer.…”

Post-Procedural Form and Rape Ambiance: Policing Sexual Violence in Mare of Easttown

Mare of Easttown figures a social environment that is both city and family at once, making it impossible to disentangle stranger rape and forms of acquaintance, date, or intimate partner rape—and therefore to locate the “problem” of rape as one of crimes to be solved by the police; or of ordinary heterosexuality, requiring more radical cultural transformation. Completing filming after the summer 2020 resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement in the wake of the police murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, the role of the police is further compromised in Mare of Easttown. I read the show’s episodic anxieties—its increasingly unrealistic plot developments that push at the borders of each episode in order to keep them open—as managing these ambivalences: between stranger and intimate rape; between “crime” and “the family”; between the public and the private; between trust in law enforcement and critique.

“…Otra manifestación, que subraya la naturaleza mediada del texto, es la voz en off irónica. Esta voz, empleada en narraciones antihéroe como Dexter (Showtime, 2006(Showtime, -2013 o You (Lifetime, 2018-), refuerza el metacomentario y sugiere lecturas que subvierten las ideologías dominantes o los significados aparentes (Rajiva y Patrick, 2019).…”

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.

“…There is a connection between the viewer's perception and the psychological factor of television violence. The psychological factor of masculinity and femininity was evident in the viewer's perceptions of sexual violence in the television drama (Rajiva & Patrick, 2019). When watching the scenes involving male characters acting violently against women, for example, it is easy to trigger for someone who puts low masculinity and high femininity to feel disturbed.…”
