TL;DR: This paper examined the discursive realizations and media representations of scandalous talk with reference to a scandalous 2018 parliamentary speech performance by a representative of the far-right Golden Dawn (GD) party in Greece.
Abstract: This paper examines the discursive realizations and media representations of scandalous talk with reference to a scandalous 2018 parliamentary speech performance by a representative of the far-right Golden Dawn (GD) party in Greece. By examining the recontextualization of the talk scandal in on-line news articles, it is shown that the original speech event gives rise to other speech events related to it, creating a ‘talk scandal universe’. Viewing talk scandals as building blocks upon which engaging media narratives are built, it is argued that they can serve as communicative resources in far-right populist performances, enacting a clean break with established norms and values of the political establishment. Moreover, talk scandals project perpetrators as candid, outspoken and defiant of the status quo, even in the face of damaging face or suffering legal penalties. Finally, as scandalous utterances and subsequent retractions contain political positioning statements, talk scandals in effect help spread and reproduce populist agendas.

TL;DR: The most popular contemporary US author, Jodi Picoult as discussed by the authors, explored in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and the concept of the "designer baby" in her novel My Sister's Keeper (2004).
Abstract: The following paper is going to focus on one of the most popular, yet least examined contemporary US authors, Jodi Picoult. Taking as my starting point her well-known novel My Sister's Keeper (2004), I will explore in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and the concept of the “designer baby”. After presenting an overview of feminist scholarly work on this controversial subject, I will examine Picoult's own approach to reproductive technologies in the 21st century, and draw attention to the instrumental role of IVF in the re-configuration of gender and family structures. Ultimately, I will argue that My Sister's Keeper raises crucial questions about biology, morality and ethics in contemporary America, and sensitively problematizes the way reproductive health is politicized today.
