“Reinventing the Excluded City in Richard Warlow’s Ripper Street (2012-2016)”

Drawing inspiration from Julian Wolfreys and scholars who have written on Ripper Street, the paper opens up with a discussion on whether fin de siècle’s formulaic subscriptions spatialize East End as a threatening, disorderly district by focusing on its opening scene, the portrayal of the police as ineffectual, and the well-established antithesis between London's West and East End. However, instead of adopting an iconography that merely degrades East End into an eerie setting, the paper aims at arguing that the series does not simply reconstruct but partially reinvent the city, producing an alternative articulation that transcends the fixity of its fin de siècle’s form.
