Alison Horbury investigates the reprisal of the myth of Persephone - a mother-daughter plot of separation and initiation - in post-feminist television cultures where, she argues, it functions as a symptom expressing a complex around the question of sexual difference - what Lacan calls 'sexuation', where this question has been otherwise foreclosed.

Alison Horbury completed her doctoral degree in the School of Culture and Communication at the University of Melbourne, Australia, where she currently lectures in the fields of Media Studies, Gender Studies, and Communications.
