Abstract/Summary:
This qualitative study charts the discursive terrain of 90s television focusing specifically on the discourses of postfeminism, Third Wave Feminism, race, class, and youth culture. This study then uses in-depth interviewing, participant observation, and written materials in the form of tertiary texts to examine how six multiply positioned women of color negotiate these discourses within the context of three television programs: Buffy the Vampire layer, The X-Files, and Ally McBeal. The findings reveal women of color assume a range of identities in their talk about television.
