Kairotopic analysis is one that involves the analysis of temporal-spatial elements. Applying such an analysis to Extreme Makeover reveals how this program mediates citizenship through a particular material space-time: the contemporary American home. This show operates to redirect political agency into familiar (nuclear) familial space-times and to domesticate political practices by relocating social responsibility from public institutions to private corporations. In so doing, the program offers a paradoxical combination of neoliberal economic and governmental imperatives allied to the social and moral norms of neoconservativism to build a new national home that is both post-dissident and postfeminist. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
