Teenage femininities in crisis - 2024.


15

Female characters in the teen drama series Euphoria grow and evolve over the course of narrative arcs, taking on scripted acts as stages on the journey to adulthood. The series looks at the multiplicity of femininities and their relationships, using the associated crises they provoke for the characters as a cross-cutting theme. Using a sociological approach, the article objectifies the social groups to which the six main characters belong, tracing their trajectories, ordeals and social experiences based on a study of the series' two seasons to date. This approach allows to question current constructions of teenage femininities.
