Bai Ruoyun’s teaching and research revolve around media as institutional, textual, and cultural practices and as technologies of mediation. Her current research projects focus on television drama and media scandal in China.
簡介:
Focusing on The Imperfect Victim (《不完美受害人》), a television drama and in-house production of China’s largest streaming platform, iQiyi, this paper deploys the feminist concept of epistemic justice and explores how epistemic justice is invoked in the television drama to foreground experiences and subjectivities of victims of sexual violence. Because the television drama borrows the frame of a legal drama, revolving around a lawyer, police, and legal cases, it inevitably centres a productive tension between epistemic justice and legal justice. The paper finds that women-produced long-form television drama provides an expansive storytelling space for the issue of sexual violence to be treated in a complex, nuanced, and sensitive manner. It argues that by instilling feminist energy into a critical tradition of Chinese television drama, the drama serves as a crucial discursive site where fruitful dialogues between epistemic and legal justice can be carried out, at a time where these dialogues are effectively shut out from social media platforms.
