Exciting Melodrama Research News: We Need to Talk about Maternal Melodrama

Posted by Sarah

Some exciting news from Catherine Grant (formerly of the uni of Kent’s Film Department) about melodrama research which I’m sure we’ll all be interested in.

Below is a link to a news item about ‘We Need to Talk about Maternal Melodrama’, a new publication atSEQUENCE Serial Studies in Media, Film and Music (part of the open accessREFRAME platform in Media, Film and Music), as well as a Call for Papers in response to, or in connection with, the topics raised by the lead article, an essay bySue Thornham. The title of Thornham’s essay is ‘”A HATRED SO INTENSE…”:We Need to Talk about Kevin, Postfeminism and Women’s Cinema’.

If you work on film or media representations of motherhood, or melodrama, and you think you’d like to respond to, bounce off of, or otherwise fruitfully interact with Thornham’s work, or with its topics more broadly,SEQUENCE would be very excited to hear from you. You can read more about respondinghere.
Thank you.
Best wishes
