    'I will not be bullied into submission': Discussing subjection and resistance in GLOW (2017)
    (Springer International Publishing, 2020) Unur, A.K.; Arslan, N.N.
    This chapter focuses on the Netflix original series, GLOW (2017) which is inspired by the 1980's television wrestling show, GLOW: Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling (1986-1989). By adopting textual analysis as its method, this chapter is interested in the usage of self-reflexivity as a narrative strategy in the series to emphasize the empowering influence of taking part in this show on women even though they mainly appear as performing highly stereotypical roles in terms of gender, race and nationality. Judith Butler's theories on subjection, power and performativity are employed to examine the ways in which the characters are empowered and question how the whole mindset behind the performed stereotypes is revealed and subverted in GLOW by means of the series' self-reflexivity. © The Author(s) 2020.

    Representing Female Detectives in Turkish Police Procedurals
    (Springer International Publishing, 2020) Unur, A.K.
    Police procedural has been historically perceived as a dominantly masculine genre for continually revolving around the investigations of male police officers. In accordance with the patriarchal norms that pervade Turkish society, local variations of the police procedural genre have conveniently appropriated this globally known convention and left little room for female detectives in their narratives. However, whenever they got a chance to be included in this male-dominated universe, female detectives have been frequently depicted as relatively independent women but also submitted to the traditional norms of womanhood in an ambivalent manner. This chapter examines this hesitant position of female police detectives in three contemporary Turkish police procedurals, Kanıt (The Evidence, 2010-2013), Cinayet (The Killing, 2014) and S?ahsiyet (Personality, 2018), by building connections between the interest of police procedural genre in feminist debates in the global context and the influence of this interest on local variations. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020, corrected publication 2021.
