Mirrors and Masquerades in Fleabag and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
Dr Catherine Humble 
 
This paper explores the TV series Fleabag and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend in relation to ideas about femininity, masks and recognition. Engaging with Winnicott’s account of mirroring, I look at representations of failed maternal recognition in these tv series. How far do the protagonists of Fleabag and Crazy-Ex construct false selves? How and why do they seek recognition from the other/viewer? Reading Joan Riviere’s “Womanliness as Masquerade”, I also explore the question of performed feminine identity; in these TV series, how far is femininity a performance and to what end?  
 
The speakers will be in dialogue with psychoanalysts: Anne Patterson, Emma Hotopf & Maxine Dennis  

7.00pm - 8.30pm
