In her presentation, Asst. Prof. Tunç Subaşı will explore how violence is framed and ethically legitimized within popular culture and contemporary media narratives. Focusing on the representation of female police officers in the TV series On Call, she will analyze how affective management is constructed, negotiated, and normalized through gendered expectations and institutional discourses.
The paper aims to contribute to interdisciplinary discussions in women’s studies by examining the intersections of gender, power, media representation, and the moral discourse surrounding violence.
