In these series' invocations of the family, they challenge the idea that, as the sole remaining grounds for normative justification, family lies outside the vortex of late capitalism. In deploying the motif of natality, they foreground the figure of the pregnant woman complicating the supposed relation between natality, politics, and the political. In so doing, these series suggest that we cannot, through natality incubated in the family, "conceive of politics differently" without addressing politics as it is. Veep (2012–2019) et House of Cards (2013–2018), en tant que fictions politiques et adaptations de séries britanniques, offrent une occasion de considérer la signification politique et le mode thématique de la « nouvelle télévision » de Martin Shuster dans les contextes spécifiques de la politique américaine et de la télévision. Dans les invocations de la famille dans ces séries, elles remettent en question l'idée que, en tant que seule base restante de justification normative, la famille se trouve à l'extérieur du vortex du capitalisme tardif. En déployant le motif de natalité, elles mettent de l'avant la figure de la femme enceinte, ce qui complique la prétendue relation entre la natalité, la politique et le politique. Ce faisant, ces séries suggèrent que nous ne pouvons pas, par l'entremise de la natalité incubée dans la famille, « concevoir différemment de la politique » sans adresser la politique telle qu'elle est. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Film/TV Criticism and Review src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Canadian Review of American Studies is the property of University of Toronto Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
