spelling A scandal on screena gendered reading of Arthur Conan Doyle's characters in BBC's 'Sherlock' and CBS's 'Elementary'Castañón Abad, LaiaDoyle, Arthur Conan, Sir, 1859-1930The object of this paper is to denaturalise and deconstruct the way in which gender is written and represented in popular television. To do so, I will examine two recent television adaptations of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes detective stories: BBC's Sherlock (2010-) and CBS's Elementary (2012-). This choice responds to the fact that although both series are based on the same original text, each takes a completely different position in terms of gender representation. I will argue that although Sherlock appears to be an inclusive and progressive show, it is in fact frequently conservative. On the other hand, Elementary consistently offers characters and storylines that are commonly gender-inclusive and progressive.El objectivo de este artículo es desnaturalizar y deconstruir la forma en la que el género se escribe y representa en programas de televisión. Con ese objetivo, examinaré dos adaptaciones televisivas recientes de las historias de detectives de Arthur Conan Doyle: Sherlock (2010 -) de la BBC y Elementary (2012-) la cadena CBS. Esta elección se debe a que pese a basarse en el mismo texto original, las dos series adoptan posiciones completamente distintas. Argumentaré que a pesar de que Sherlock aparenta ser una serie inclusiva y progresista, es de hecho frecuentemente conservadora. Por el contrario, Elementary ofrece de manera consistente personajes y tramas inclusivas y progresivas en cuestiones de género.L'objectiu d'aquest article és desnaturalitzar i desconstruir la forma en que el gènere s'escriu i es representa en programes de televisió. Per a fer-ho, examinaré dues adaptacions televisives recents de les històries de detectius d'Arthur Conan Doyle: Sherlock (2010 -) de la BBC i Elementary (2012-) la cadena CBS. Aquesta tria és deguda a que tot i basar-se en el mateix text original, les dues sèries adopten posicions completament diferents. Argumentaré que tot i que Sherlock sembla ser una sèrie inclusiva i progressiva, és de fet freqüentment conservadora. D'altra banda, Elementary ofereix consistentment personatges i trames inclusives i progressives en termes de gènere.Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.
