Description:
<p>Jessica Jones made her first Marvel Comics appearance in <em>Alias #1</em>, November 2001, and went on to star in three ongoing series. In 2015 the Netflix adaptation <em>Jessica Jones</em> premiered to positive reviews. Following the scarred and superpowered titular character as she struggled to run a private detective agency and face her past, the show ran for three seasons and received a Hugo Award, a Peabody Award, and a Creative Arts Emmy.</p>
<p><em>Diverging the Popular, Gender and Trauma AKA The Jessica Jones Anthology</em> brings together a diverse group of scholars to explore the evolving depiction of the superheroine as embodied in both Jessica Jones and <em>Jessica Jones</em>. Contributors draw on trauma-informed study, lived experience, feminist approaches, cultural studies, and more to present multifaceted analyses. Specifically addressing survivorship, trauma, masculinities, and militarization, this book makes space for conversations that recognize the diverse, multi-layered narratives and complex, sometimes contradictory depictions presented by the show. </p>
<p>Taking <em>Jessica Jones</em> as part of an evolving depiction of the superheroine, this anthology focuses not only on the content of the television series but female superheroes more broadly. It recognizes and critically discusses gendered and racialized roles and spaces, the changing expectations of fans, and the places in which media industries and fans interact. Connecting Jessica Jones to the wider Marvel Cinematic Universe, this is a thoughtful and thorough study of a ground-breaking character and boundary-pushing show.</p>
