This article draws on data from 18 semi-structured interviews with women which explore their relations with true crime television. Complicating popular and academic arguments that such relations operate pedagogically (that true crime offers a form of ‘safety advice’ for women), the data attests to the participants’ reflexive negotiation of ethics as a frame through which viewing investments are presented, regulated and articulated. Both contributing to and questioning feminist work which has explored the potential ‘reimagining’ of true crime within a post #MeToo context, the data offers insight into how these female viewers negotiate what they see as ‘ethical viewing’ of the genre and its relationship with questions of ‘witnessing’ and responsibility.

真实犯罪电视的女性观众：流行话语、女权主义和“道德观看”的政治


本文借鉴了 18 次对女性的半结构化采访的数据，这些采访探讨了她们与真实犯罪电视的关系。这些数据使这种关系在教育学上运作的流行和学术论点复杂化（真实犯罪为女性提供了一种“安全建议”），这些数据证明了参与者对道德的反思性协商，作为展示、监管和阐明观看投资的框架。这些数据既促进了女权主义工作，也质疑了在后 #MeToo 背景下“重新构想”真实犯罪的可能性，这些数据提供了关于这些女性观众如何协商她们所认为的“道德观看”类型的见解，以及它与“见证”和责任问题的关系。
