This article investigates the complex demands of neoliberal feminism on millennial women and explores the portrayal of fractured female self in streaming series, shedding light on the continuity of neoliberal individualism and female subjectivity.
This article investigates the articulation of complex demands of neoliberal feminism, such as individualism, entrepreneurialism and self-management on the millennial woman in recent streaming series. The portrayal of a fractured female self and its entanglement with millennial angst will shed light on serial depictions of neoliberal individualism and female subjectivity. Search Party, a satirical, genre-bending, half-hour comedy-drama serves as an example through which the contradictory demands of neoliberal feminism are negotiated and questioned. In addition to assessment of the narrative and character framing, paratextual materials and specifically the series' promotional posters work to further situate the twenty-first century millennial female, underscoring her split self.
