Abstract

This research utilizes aspects of narrative and ideological criticism to analyze complex mystery television and representations of women. Using the first season of Big Little Lies, the authors argue that the disruption of narrative conventions creates a productive liminality in which the viewer takes on the role of detective. This positioning of the viewer-as-detective encourages viewers to attempt to solve the mystery but also to interrogate their perceptions of the main female characters depicted, ultimately helping to question rather than reinforce stereotypical representations of women.

作为侦探的观众：大小谎言和复杂神秘电视的生产性限制

摘要

这项研究利用叙事和意识形态批评的各个方面来分析复杂的神秘电视和女性形象。使用《大小谎言》第一季，作者认为叙事惯例的破坏创造了一种富有成效的阈限性，观众在其中扮演侦探的角色。观众作为侦探的这种定位鼓励观众尝试解开谜团，同时也质疑他们对所描绘的主要女性角色的看法，最终有助于质疑而不是强化对女性的刻板印象。
