Abstract:
|
Drawing from cultural theory and textual analysis,this paper presents the television program Judge Judy as a technology of everyday citizenship and shows how it attempts to govern the everyday lives of lower-income women in particular. Situating daytime televisions fastest-growing format within a neoliberal context, it argues that Judge Judys concern with real women and their seemingly mundane conflicts intersects with the privatization of public life, the dismantling of welfare programs, and the political discourse of "individual choice" and "personal responsibility." |

For critics who equate informed citizenship with the declining sphere of “serious” (i.e. masculine bourgeois) news and public affairs this protuberant parade of afternoon altercations over minor fender benders carpet stains unpaid personal loans broken engagements and the |
