When, in October 2017, actress Alyssa Milano sparked the #MeToo
movement, the ensuing protests quickly grew to encompass far more
than Harvey Weinstein and the entertainment industry. They
expressed women's outrage at decades of male workplace behavior in
every sector and social class and even helped elect a new
generation of women leaders in the next midterm elections. But what
has been the effect of #MeToo in the entertainment industry itself?
This book traces #MeToo's influence on the stories being told, on
changing representations of women's lives and bodies, and on the
slow institutional changes among the producers who shape the
stories we consume. Analysing a wide set of TV and film
genres--including crime, legal and medical dramas, comedies,
horror, and reality programming--it covers the complex ways that
media responds to social movements, sometimes giving voice to
brand-new or previously silenced stories, but just as often making
facile references that can blunt the potential for change, or even
fuel cultural backlash.
