The dead and the abhorred: Mindhunter and the persistence of mother-blame

In her study of violent protagonists in American literature, Wilson-Scott argues that "mothers are frequently used as the principle traumatizing factor, demonized and depersonalized in order to reassert their violent offspring’s humanity" (p. 191). Further, Wilson-Scott states that her wor...

520 |a In her study of violent protagonists in American literature, Wilson-Scott argues that "mothers are frequently used as the principle traumatizing factor, demonized and depersonalized in order to reassert their violent offspring’s humanity" (p. 191). Further, Wilson-Scott states that her work "reveals the persistent assumption that mothers make monsters" (p. 193). Taking our tacit agreement with Wilson-Scott as a starting point, we argue along with her that mother-blame remains a central motif of mainstream cultural narratives about violent masculinity. The focus of this essay is on the strategies through which mother-blame is used to validate the authorial authenticity of the male serial killer and his ways of knowing and of being in the world. In this essay we offer the first season of the popular Netflix series Mindhunter (2017-) as a case study and ask how the representation of the serial killer’s insight and seemingly accurate understanding of his own pathology is linked to its antithesis, woman-hate, and often, the pathologizing of the mother.
