| description | This paper shows that French TV shows construct a hegemonic mother figure (a caring, loving, listening one…) which has to be analysed in terms of gender, race, sexuality or profession. Indeed heroines are rarely non-white, lesbians or happily unemployed.

These shows feed a normative imaginary of motherhood and an imagined identity through exoticization’s processes of non-white characters. |
