Sex and the City As Pseudo-representative of New York's Population Anne Decker

Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, University of Münster, course: New York in the 20th Century, language: English, abstract: This paper will inform about the demographic situation in New York City and the U. S. as a whole as it was during the time SatC aired, namely around the turn of the millennium. What follows will be an analysis of how the characters are presented in the series in a twofold way. First, emphasis will be on the four heroines of the series and their representational status. Then the focus will be on the supporting cast of SatC and it will be shown in how far they, too, are misrepresentative of New York City's population.
