Castleberry1 Abstract In this article, I analyze the TV show Sons of Anarchy (SOA) and how the cable drama revisits and revises the American Western film genre. I survey ideological contexts and tropes that span Western mythologies like landscape and mise-en- scene to struggles for family, community, and the continuation of Native American plight. I trace connections between the show’s fictitious town setting and how the narrative inverts traditional community archetypes to reinsert a new outlaw status quo. I inspect the role of border reversal, from open expansion in Westerns to the closed-door post-globalist world of SAMCRO. I quickdraw from a number of film theory scholars as I trick shoot their critiques of Western cinema against the updated target of SOA’s fictitious Charming, CA. I reckon that this revised update of outlaw culture, gunslinger violence, and the drama’s subsequent popularity communicates a post-9/11 trauma playing out on television. Through the sage wisdom of autoethnography, I recall personal memories as an ideological travelogue for navigating the rhetoric power this drama ignites. As with postwar movements of biker history that follow World War II and Vietnam, SOA races against Western form while staying distinctly faithful.

Eminem quickly gained popularity in 1999 with his major-label debut album, The Slim Shady LP, which won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album.

  • HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007
    1 HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007 Submitted by Gareth Andrew James to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English, January 2011. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ........................................ 2 Abstract The thesis offers a revised institutional history of US cable network Home Box Office that expands on its under-examined identity as a monthly subscriber service from 1972 to 1994. This is used to better explain extensive discussions of HBO‟s rebranding from 1995 to 2007 around high-quality original content and experimentation with new media platforms. The first half of the thesis particularly expands on HBO‟s origins and early identity as part of publisher Time Inc. from 1972 to 1988, before examining how this affected the network‟s programming strategies as part of global conglomerate Time Warner from 1989 to 1994. Within this, evidence of ongoing processes for aggregating subscribers, or packaging multiple entertainment attractions around stable production cycles, are identified as defining HBO‟s promotion of general monthly value over rivals. Arguing that these specific exhibition and production strategies are glossed over in existing HBO scholarship as a result of an over-valuing of post-1995 examples of „quality‟ television, their ongoing importance to the network‟s contemporary management of its brand across media platforms is mapped over distinctions from rivals to 2007.

  • Brains Before Bullets
    SERIES EDITOR: WILLIAM IRWIN PHILOSOPHY/POP CULTURE Irwin EDITED BY George A. Du nn and J ason T. E berl Are we right to admire members of a criminal organization? Are the Sons of Anarchy really anarchists? How does their relationship to their bikes help to shape the Sons’ worldview? Do members of SAMCRO have the right to kill and make war? Does membership in the MC tend to foster virtue or vice? Do the club’s practices and moral code make it like a religion? FX’s hit television series Sons of Anarchy draws viewers into the morally ambiguous world of a close-knit outlaw motorcycle club, where standard social conventions and authority are shunned and replaced with a moral framework based on brotherhood, family, and community. It’s a violent and dangerous world where members frequently war with other outlaw groups and the federal government to protect their interests and those of their home base, the town of Charming, California. Featuring essays by philosophical fans of the show and drawing on the ideas of some of history’s greatest Brains Before Bullets philosophers, including Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Marx, and Nietzsche, Sons of Anarchy and Philosophy examines the ethos of life in the MC, exploring the ethics of loyalty, honor, and revenge, individual and group identity, the morality of war and terrorism, religion, and the nature of political authority. Essential reading for fans of the show, this book takes readers deeper into the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club, the Teller-Morrow family, and the ethics that surround their lives and activities.

  • Decoding Deviance with the Sons of Anarchy
    Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, Vol. 18, No. 2, June 2018, pp. 90-104. doi:10.14434/josotl.v18i2.22515 Decoding Deviance with the Sons of Anarchy Joseph Kremer Washington State University [email protected] Kristin Cutler Washington State University Abstract: This article explicates the ways that the popular television series Sons of Anarchy in conjunction with our content analysis coding tool can be used to teach theories and concepts central to Sociology of Deviance courses. We detail how students learned to understand deviance as a social constructed phenomenon by coding and analyzing the behaviors of their most liked and most hated Sons characters. Evidence extrapolated from students’ final projects, class discussions, and course evaluations suggests that this pedagogical technique creates a systematic teaching method enabling students to more actively engage in the course while enhancing connections to the course materials. Keywords: deviance, social construction of deviance, popular culture, content analysis Using television and film as a pedagogical tool in sociology is far from a new phenomenon. Scholars have attested to the fact that using television and film helps bring to life abstract sociological theories and concepts, helps to better engage students with course materials, and as a result stimulate their sociological imaginations (Burton, 1988; Champoux, 1997; Demerath III, 1981; Donaghy, 2000; Eaton & Uskul, 2004; Hannon & Marullo, 1988; Hutton & Mak, 2014; Khanna & Harris, 2015; Livingston, 2004; Loewen, 1991; Melander & Wortmann, 2011; Nefes, 2014; Trier, 2010; Wosner & Boyns, 2013). For example, when speaking to the benefits of using the cinema as a teaching tool Champoux (1999) states: “viewers are not passive observers.
