Summary/Abstract: The book Female criminalists and their representation in Czech crime TV series is focused on Czech female criminalist in crime TV genre. It focuses on portrayal of gender identities in the particular genre in general. Our research reflects contemporary tendencies in gender portrayal and draws a map of such TV depiction in Czech context. We analyzed a ten year time period which helped us determine classical schemes of depiction and pick up on changes happening during those years. It shows that exactly this analyzed decade was a time of genre rebirth in Czech television context. Therefore, we can see many strategies common for TV crime production during communist era. This book is the first one focusing on crime TV through the lenses of gender identities in the Czech academia environment.
