    The body has become central to practices of self-tracking. By focusing on the relations between quantification, the body, and labor, this volume sheds light on the ways in which discourses on data collection, office work, and production are instrumental in redefining concepts of labor, including notions of immaterial and free labor in an increasingly virtual work environment. The contributions explore the functions of quantification in conceptualizing the body as a laboring body and examine how quantification contributes to disciplining the body. By doing so, they also inquire how practices of self-tracking, self-monitoring, and self-optimization have evolved historically

    Examines the bleak television comedies that illustrate the obsession of the white left with its own anxiety and sufferingAt the same time that right-wing political figures like Donald Trump were elected and reactionary socio-economic policies like Brexit were voted into law, representations of bleakly comic white fragility spread across television screens. American and British programming that featured the abjection of young, middle-class, liberal white people-such as Broad City, Casual, You're the Worst, Catastrophe, Fleabag, and Transparent-proliferated to wide popular acclaim in the 2010s. Taylor Nygaard and Jorie Lagerwey track how these shows of the white left, obsessed with its own anxiety and suffering, are complicit in the rise and maintenance of the far right-particularly in the mobilization, representation, and sustenance of structural white supremacy on television.Nygaard and Lagerwey examine a cycle of dark television comedies, the focus of which are "horrible white people," by putting them in conversation with similar upmarket comedies from creators and casts of color like Insecure, Atlanta, Dear White People, and Master of None. Through their analysis, they demonstrate the ways these non-white-centric shows negotiate prestige TV's dominant aesthetics of whiteness and push back against the centering of white suffering in a time of cultural crisis.Through the lens of media analysis and feminist cultural studies, Nygaard and Lagerwey's book opens up new ways of looking at contemporary television consumption-and the political, cultural, and social repercussions of these "horrible white people" shows, both on- and off-screen

    This thesis interrogates the contemporary gonzofeminism as proposed by Gillian Flynn in her debut novel Sharp Objects (2006). It argues that the problematic frame narrative - i.e., women themselves perpetrate violence - is so complicated by Flynn’s dense use of symbolism, narrative technique, and subversion and blending of genre elements, it reveals the inherent failure of gendered tropes and productively explores the relationship between the construction of womanhood and American cultural imaginaries to arrive at incisive sociocultural critique. This paper draws on theoretical texts from feminist literary and cultural scholars and from fields as diverse as sociolinguistics, trauma studies, genre theory, and psychoanalysis to evidence how her writing reflects current cultural anxieties surrounding the failure of what has been termed ‘white feminism’; it also assesses the ways in which her writing politicizes rape and her antiheroine destigmatizes survivors of sexual violence. The result of her writing, this thesis contends, is not the postfeminist pathologization of women, but the pathologization of a violent society.
