CP_0606_Editorial.FinalREV 5/18/06 11:42 AM Page 15 Current p SYCHIATRY From the editor Psychiatry seesaws with stars’ ups and downs ane Pauley is well-known for hosting NBC television’s Today Show but also J for developing manic symptoms from corticosteroid therapy. Dr. Michael Cerullo (page 43) mentions® herDowden case in his excellent Health discussion Media of how to treat steroid-induced mania or mixed bipolar symptoms and reduce the risk in patients who requireCopyright sustained corticosteroids. Jane (we are on a first-nameFor personal basis, aren’t we?)use revealed only in her autobiography1 that she developed mania after taking corticosteroids for urticaria. In this case, a widely admired broadcaster’s revelation probably helped reduce the stigma of psychiatric illness. But last year Hollywood celebs Tom Cruise and Brooke Shields debated the merits of antidepressant therapy for postpartum depression. That highly publicized exchange—he on the “con” side, she on the “pro”—certainly raised public awareness of depression in new mothers, but its effects on psychiatry’s image might have been more negative than positive. And what do we make of actress Lorraine Bracco, who plays a psychiatrist on the HBO TV series, The Sopranos? Her character, Dr. Jennifer Melfi, treats mobster Tony Soprano’s panic attacks but not his, well, antisocial traits. Speaking at last year’s American Psychiatric Association meeting, Bracco stated that “in real life, I’m actually someone who has suffered from depression and had to seek the help of a psychiatrist.” So we have a real patient portraying a psychiatrist treating an imaginary patient and then lecturing to real psychiatrists. That seems ironic, but I think The Sopranos’ popularity and Bracco’s acknowledgment that she sought treatment for depression make psychiatry look pretty good. James Randolph Hillard, MD Reference 1.

It's always been a money maker for Pauley - Tony's father, Johnny Soprano, had control over him before him - but a new parish priest believes that the $10,000 Poly contributes as the church's share is too low and believes $50,000 would be more appropriate. Pauley shies away from that figure, at least in part, he says, because his own spending is rising. One thing he does to save money to hire a second course of carnival rides, something that comes back to haunt him when one of the rides breaks down and people get injured. Pauley is also under a lot of stress after his doctor dislikes the results of his PSA test and is planning a biopsy. When Christopher's girlfriend Kelly tells him he is pregnant, he asks her to marry him. He is still struggling with his addiction however and falls off the wagon.

1 Evolving Authorship, Developing Contexts: 'Life Lessons'
Notes 1 Evolving Authorship, Developing Contexts: ‘Life Lessons’ 1. This trajectory finds its seminal outlining in Caughie (1981a), being variously replicated in, for example, Lapsley and Westlake (1988: 105–28), Stoddart (1995), Crofts (1998), Gerstner (2003), Staiger (2003) and Wexman (2003). 2. Compare the oft-quoted words of Sarris: ‘The art of the cinema … is not so much what as how …. Auteur criticism is a reaction against sociological criticism that enthroned the what against the how …. The whole point of a meaningful style is that it unifies the what and the how into a personal state- ment’ (1968: 36). 3. For a fuller discussion of the conception of film authorship here described, see Grist (2000: 1–9). 4. While for this book New Hollywood Cinema properly refers only to this phase of filmmaking, the term has been used by some to designate ‘either something diametrically opposed to’ such filmmaking, ‘or some- thing inclusive of but much larger than it’ (Smith, M. 1998: 11). For the most influential alternative position regarding what he calls ‘the New Hollywood’, see Schatz (1993). For further discussion of the debates sur- rounding New Hollywood Cinema, see Kramer (1998), King (2002), Neale (2006) and King (2007). 5. ‘Star image’ is a concept coined by Richard Dyer in relation to film stars, but it can be extended to other filmmaking personnel. To wit: ‘A star image is made out of media texts that can be grouped together as promotion, publicity, films and commentaries/criticism’ (1979: 68). 6. See, for example, Grant (2000), or the conception of ‘post-auteurism’ out- lined and critically demonstrated in Verhoeven (2009).

Unha Introdución a the Sopranos'studies
BOLETÍN GALEGO DE LITERATURA, nº 46 / 2º SEMESTRE (2011): pp. 25-43 / ISSN 02149117 ESTUDOS Co debido respecto: / unha introdución a The Sopranos’Studies STUDIES Anxo Abuín [Recibido, xullo 2011; aceptado, outubro 2011] RESUMO A televisión estase a lexitimar como obxecto de estudo, tamén dende o ámbito da Literatura Comparada. O autor propón nes- te artigo, con certa ironía, crear unha subdisciplina académica chamada The Sopranos’Studies, que se ocupará de analizar os trazos fundamentais tanto formais coma temáticos desta serie norteamericana (HBO), convertida inmediatamente en obxecto de culto. Préstase especial atención ao concepto de flexinarrativa, que sustenta a achega aos mecanismos do relato televisivo postos en práctica por esta serie. PALABRAS CHAVE: imprevisibilidade, narración, posmodernismo, Quality TV, serialidade, Os Soprano, televisión. ABSTRACT Television is becoming a legitimate object of study in the area of 25 Comparative Literature. In this article the autor proposes, some- what ironically, the creation of an academic sub-discipline called Soprano’Studies, which would deal with both the formal and thematic aspects of this US soap opera on HBO, which rapidly became a cult series. The flexinarrative technique, which allows access to the televisual narrative mechanisms used in the series, is highlighted. KEYWORDS: entropy, narrative, postmodernism, Quality TV, series, televi- sion, The Sopranos. Poucas series mereceron tanta atención crítica como a que hoxe nos ocu- pa. Son centos as recensións que un pode atopar na internet, non sempre favorábeis, pero o certo é que tamén dende o ámbito académico Os Soprano (OS, HBO, 1999-2007) suscitou un interese extraordinario que se plasma na longa lista de artigos e monografías publicadas até a data.

MoMA | press | Releases | 2001 | Discussion on The Sopranos Page 1 of 3 For Immediate Release February 2001 THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART HOSTS DISCUSSION ON THE SOPRANOS Discussion with David Chase and media writer Ken Auletta February 12, 2001 The Sopranos February 3-13, 2001 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theatre 1 The Museum of Modern Art presents a discussion of the HBO series The Sopranos with the series writer/director David Chase and noted media writer and author Ken Auletta, February 12, 2001 at 6:00 p.m. at the Roy and Niuta Titus Theatre 1. Recording the domestic dramas and business anxieties of family living the bourgeois life in a pleasant New Jersey suburb, The Sopranos is a saga of middle-class life in America at the turn of the century. Chronicled in twenty-six hour-long episodes, the first two seasons from the series will be shown in two four-day sequences at The Museum of Modern Art, from February 3-13 at the Roy and Niuta Titus Theatre 1. "The Sopranos is a cynical yet deeply felt look at this particular family man," remarks Laurence Kardish, Senior Curator, Department of Film and Video, who organized the program. "David Chase and his team have created a series distinguished by its bone-dry humor and understated, quirky, and stinging perspective - not usually seen on television." Renowned for his savvy profiles of power players in the media, Ken Auletta will join David Chase for a discussion of The Sopranos at The Museum on February 12. The Department of Film and Video gratefully acknowledges HBO for making the series available for public viewing.

A personal reflection “They disparaged HE NHS Plan expected that, by April 2001, all PCG/Ts would have a mechanism for French wines apart monitoring GP referral rates.

Absent Presence: Women in American Gangster Narrative
Absent Presence: Women in American Gangster Narrative Carmela Coccimiglio Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfilment of the requirements for a doctoral degree in English Literature Department of English Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Carmela Coccimiglio, Ottawa, Canada, 2013 TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract iii Acknowledgements v Introduction 1 Chapter One 27 “Senza Mamma”: Mothers, Stereotypes, and Self-Empowerment Chapter Two 57 “Three Corners Road”: Molls and Triangular Relationship Structures Chapter Three 90 “[M]arriage and our thing don’t jive”: Wives and the Precarious Balance of the Marital Union Chapter Four 126 “[Y]ou have to fucking deal with me”: Female Gangsters and Textual Outcomes Chapter Five 159 “I’m a bitch with a gun”: African-American Female Gangsters and the Intersection of Race, Sexual Orientation, and Gender Conclusion 186 Works Cited 193 iii ABSTRACT Absent Presence: Women in American Gangster Narrative investigates women characters in American gangster narratives through the principal roles accorded to them. It argues that women in these texts function as an “absent presence,” by which I mean that they are a convention of the patriarchal gangster landscape and often with little import while at the same time they cultivate resistant strategies from within this backgrounded positioning. Whereas previous scholarly work on gangster texts has identified how women are characterized as stereotypes, this dissertation argues that women characters frequently employ the marginal positions to which they are relegated for empowering effect. This dissertation begins by surveying existing gangster scholarship. There is a preoccupation with male characters in this work, as is the case in most gangster texts themselves.
