A discursive framing of 'exceptionality' has commonly attached to the politics of austerity, crisis and neoliberalisation that have characterised the 2010s in Britain, with many noting the depoliticising effects of such a crisispolitics. Th's four case studies each investigate a binary concept that has played a key role in these limited and limiting discourses: the stable family/troubled family; deserving/undeserving; public/private; and material/cultural. Deploying an expansive notion of sexuality, these binaries are examined by analysing a range of cultural and political texts where they are reproduced, from policy and legal documents to popular films and TV series.
