  • THE CIRCUITRY of MEMORY: TIME and SPACE in MAD MEN by Molly Elizabeth Lewis B.A., Honours, the University of British Columbia, 2
    THE CIRCUITRY OF MEMORY: TIME AND SPACE IN MAD MEN by Molly Elizabeth Lewis B.A., Honours, The University of British Columbia, 2013 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Film Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2015 © Molly Elizabeth Lewis, 2015 Abstract Memory is central to Mad Men (Matthew Weiner 2007-15) as a period piece set in the 1960s that activates the memories of its viewers while also depicting the subjective memory processes of its protagonist Donald Draper (Jon Hamm). Narratively, as much as Don may try to move forward and forget his past, he ultimately cannot because the memories will always remain. Utilizing the philosophy of Henri Bergson, I reveal that the series effectively renders Bergson’s notion of the coexistence of past and present in sequences that journey into the past without ever leaving the present. Mad Men ushers in a new era of philosophical television that is not just perceived, but also remembered. As a long-form serial narrative that intricately layers past upon present, Mad Men is itself an evolving memory that can be revisited by the viewer who gains new insight upon each viewing. Mad Men is the ideal intersection of Bergson’s philosophy of the mind and memory and Gilles Deleuze’s cinematic philosophy of time. The first chapter simply titled “Time,” examines the series’ first flashback sequence from the episode “Babylon,” in it finding the Deleuzian time- image. The last chapter “Space,” seeks to identify the spatial structure of the series as a whole and how it relates to its slow-burning pace.

  • It's a Mad Mad Men's World
    Lunds universitet Viktor Svanström Språk- och Litteraturcentrum FIVK01 Filmvetenskap Handledare: Erik Hedling 2020-01-15 It’s a mad mad men’s world En analys av HBO-serien Mad Men utifrån ett genusperspektiv med fokus på maskulinitet Abstract: I uppsatsen genomförs en djupanalys av ett flertal avsnitt från den amerikanska tv-serien Mad Men utifrån huvudsakligen två teoretiska koncept gällande studiet av maskulinitet. Dessa inkluderar bland andra Joseph A. Vandello och Jennifer K. Bosson et als studier gällande en så kallad ”osäker maskulinitet” i den vetenskapliga artikeln Precarious Manhood. Teorin gällande hegemonisk maskulinitet kommer att användas som basis för min analys, där R.W. Connell och respektive verk som Masculinities och Hegemonic masculinity: Rethinking the Concept kommer att användas som mina primära källor gällande konceptet av hegemonisk maskulinitet och diskussionen därav. Detta i syfte för att komma underfund med hur maskulinitet porträtteras i Mad Men, dess möjliga konsekvenser och reflektera kring maskulinitet i förhållande till det västerländska samhället, mer precist USA och Sverige, och det nuvarande 2000-talet. Nyckelord: Mad Men, maskulinitet, manlighet, könsroller, psykisk ohälsa Abstract: This essay will delve into a deep analysis regarding multiple episodes of the American tv-series Mad Men primarily from the perspective of two theoretical concepts regarding the study of masculinity. These include, for example, studies regarding the concept of “precarious manhood” by Joseph A. Vandello and Jennifer K. Bosson et al in the scientific article Precarious Manhood. The concept regarding hegemonic masculinity will be used for the basis of my analysis as well, with R.W. Connell and respective works such as Masculinities and Hegemonic masculinity: Rethinking the Concept will serve as my primary sources regarding the concept of hegemonic masculinity and the discussion there of.

  • "The Strong, Silent Type": Tony Soprano, Don Draper, and the Construction of the White Male Antihero in Contemporary Television Drama
    "THE STRONG, SILENT TYPE": TONY SOPRANO, DON DRAPER, AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE WHITE MALE ANTIHERO IN CONTEMPORARY TELEVISION DRAMA James Beale A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2014 Committee: Becca Cragin, Advisor Esther Clinton Jeremy Wallach © 2014 James Beale All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Becca Cragin, Advisor In this thesis, I examine intertextuality present between The Sopranos and Mad Men, particularly in regards to each show’s protagonist. Tony Soprano and Don Draper are complex characters, each with their own conflicts, neuroses, and supporting characters, yet both men address a similar question: what does it mean to be a man in 21st century America? Both men deal with complex identities due to their pasts, exacerbated struggles due to their jobs, and most importantly, equally complex women who challenge their authority. While addressing issues of gender, I discuss the linkages present between each show’s creator, David Chase and Matthew Weiner, which speaks to the broader thematic overlap between the two dramas. Intertextuality, partially stemming from Weiner’s time in the Sopranos writing room under Chase, can help to interrogate television’s own auteur, the showrunner. I also analyze the white male antihero archetype as a whole, which has been popular on American television in the past fifteen years, as I trace the major conflicts to Robert Warshow’s formulation of the gangster as a tragic hero. For Warshow, though, the gangster ultimately worked as a straightforward morality tale – in these shows, the message of the antihero is deliberately muddled, crafting an intimate portrait of masculinity in crisis.
