ABSTRACT Just as Downton Abbey seasons 1–6 coincided with the Coalition government, the production schedule for the 2019 movie paralleled key moments in the Brexit campaign. The film offers a comforting, optimistic narrative to an audience expected to have recently severed ties with Europe, bidding viewers “welcome to a new era.” Like the series, however, which has been read as an apologia for the new conservatism, the film has a deeply reactionary narrative, pretending that technological and sartorial advances constitute progress. The article pursues this argument from a feminist perspective, proceeding down the film’s social hierarchy from the Princess Royal to the under-cook.

“欢迎来到新时代”?唐顿修道院在2019

摘要正如唐顿庄园第1至第6季恰好与联盟政府相吻合一样,2019年电影的制作时间表与英国退欧战役的关键时刻相当。这部电影为预期最近与欧洲断绝联系的观众提供了令人欣慰的,乐观的叙事,吸引观众“欢迎进入新时代”。然而,就像该系列被视为对新保守主义的致歉一样,这部电影具有深刻的反动叙事,假装技术和服装的进步构成了进步。这篇文章从女权主义的角度出发来探讨这一论点,将电影的社会等级从皇家公主提升到烹饪不足。
