Abstract

The Play for Today Viewing Group, consisting of academics from the United Kingdom and Ireland who meet virtually multiple times per year to discuss a teleplay, collectively analyse two Play s for Today , The Bevellers (1974) and Not for the Likes of Us (1980). These plays reflect Play for Today ’s historical tendency towards a greater inclusion of female workers alongside emergent forms and patterns of work, and from heightened studio realism, shot on video, to its use of film and critical dissection of its attractions. Analysis reveals the plays’ thematic intersections concerning work, gender and the body: this comparative approach discerns how Play for Today was a strand of interconnected dramas within British television's flow possessing deep social and cultural significance.

批评的空间：《今日之戏》（1974）和《不适合我们这样的人》（1980）中观看组对工作、性别和身体的看法

“今日之戏”观剧小组由来自英国和爱尔兰的学者组成，他们几乎每年都会聚在一起讨论一部电视剧，共同分析两部今日之戏：《贝夫勒》（1974年）和《不适合我们这样的人》（1980年）。这些戏剧反映了“今日之戏”的历史趋势，即在新兴的工作形式和模式之外，更多地包括女性工人，从高度的工作室现实主义，通过视频拍摄，到使用电影和对其吸引力的批判性剖析。分析揭示了这些戏剧在工作、性别和身体方面的主题交叉点：这种比较方法辨别出《今日之戏》是如何在英国电视流中成为一系列相互关联的戏剧，具有深刻的社会和文化意义。
