Late Night Women's Hour
- It's broadcasted on BBC radio 4
- it's a spin-off from the long running BBC Radio 4 daily magazine programme, Woman's hour
- Infrequent broadcasting schedule - once a month, late at night and varies in length
- features a number of female panellists
- Each episode focuses on a particular theme relevant to it's female target audience
- It is post-watershed - which is a form of self regulation where they will include more adult programming and will swear etc. - it is played at 11pm
Episode we listened to and need to reference = Home (first broadcasted in 2016)
- Speak about recent trends about homes
- largely speak about
- target audience = middle aged woman, middle class
- speaking about IKEA and Tiger - presuming the audience would know what they are talking about
- speaking about knitting, cooking and craft = assuming it's something woman do = stereotypical
- Jobs of panellists = chef, author, furniture designer, psychiatrist = all professionals - all have specific skills and jobs
- potentially aimed at feminists - brings up issues like body issues
- the lexis is well spoken, articulate and well educated = shows how they are middle class
- "At the moment i'm wearing a dress that i made...it's really a practical thing" = very middle class - she's pointing out skills she has and how it's not regular to be able to make your own things
- "i will be engaging with craft with my three year old" - makes it sound more interesting
- "the accoutrements of modern society" - says a french word to show she is well educated
- "it exists in apposition to an imagined context..."
- " i'm using it as a metonym"
- "i will mainly be putting my books away" - they are very intelligent, brag that they have a lot of books and are very clever
- this show is targeting an extremely target audience
Stuart Hall - reception theory
The preferred, negotiated and oppositional reading
Preferred = agree with the producer
Oppositional = disagree with the producer
negotiated = agree with part of the producer's reading but leave some out
aberrant = completely wrong - didn't understand it
preferred reading of this clip = meant to feel sorry for her - she's been evicted by her landlord, doesn't have a permanent home etc. (normally when evicted people become homeless but she stays at her brother's - she says it's fine) - she says it's a minor inconvenience
oppositional reading = we might hate her for being a snob, being privileged and not really thinking about how if someone else may not be able to stay at families house.
Cannot relate to this is any way.
she has 20 books - the rest of the panel gasp - surprised she only has 20 books
negotiated readings = feel sorry for her house but then frustrated as she's upset over a mug
Late Night Women's Hour is remarkably similar to Women Magazine as they are still talking about home but in Late Night Women's hour they dont talk about men at all which is called Symbolic Annihilation
Broadcasting is distributing a media product to a mass audience - this is essentially invented when it came to radio - gets media into peoples homes - there was a suspicion about mass media distribution due to propaganda, this is included radio and TV
The BBC was established 1922
The Woman's Hour - background info
- was first broadcast in 1946 on BBC's Light Programme at 2pm intended to fit around womanly chores and collected children from school
- was created to encourage woman to rebuild homes after ww2
- before 1998 the last hour was dedicated to readings
- the show was labelled "misogynistic" and "patronising" - could also be said it was sexist as it was for men
- after 64years, mens hour began - first introduced in 2004 and then properly in 2010
- Late Night Woman's Hour (spin off) started in 2015
- Women's hour arguably reinforces hegemonic norms and values -
How have sociohistorical factors lead to a diversification of media output?
socio-historical = how social factors change overtime
diversification = the process of making something more varied
1940's = everyone listened to the same radio at the time as there were very few
digitally convergent technology has led to diversification of media
ideological perspectives of movement have changed over the years - Women's Liberation movement
Late Night Women's hour - 11pm slot = graveyard slot as no one is listening to the radio at this time - people generally listen to Late Night Women's hour through streaming it on their phones
Vagina's/Pockets = Late Night Women's Hour episode:
- literally talking about Vagina's and pockets
- pause before she first says Vagina - not normally allowed to say it on radio - Vagina is sometimes seen as being a taboo
- specifically talking about female body odour - it's a taboo because it's not really spoken about = diversification
- some people may be offended by this topic is a more traditionally conservative (more old fashioned values) audience
- very informal mode of address - much more chatty
- one woman shouted "Vagina" very loudly on the radio after they said it was okay for them to do
- socio-historical factors have changed = fluidity of hegemonic norms changing has allowed topics like these to be spoken about on the radio
- potentially controversial view that women dont have to do
- very important conversation but they dont go into it in a lot of detail
