abstract="Research has revealed how antiviolence activism can become entangled with the state's punitive agenda, leading to what some have called &quot;carceral feminism.&quot; However, this scholarship focuses primarily on the U.S. context. Additionally, few studies examine the cultural battles about gender-based violence that emerge in television media, a site of cultural struggle and meaning making. This study conducts a quantitative and qualitative content analysis of 46 Indian television panel broadcasts following a highly publicized rape in New Delhi in 2012. I find that elite state actors pursue punitive agendas, but feminists and other panelists engage in discursive resistance to this approach.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
