  • “I Am the One Who Knocks!”: What It Means to Be a Man in Breaking Bad. by Stephanie Wille Submitted to the Graduate Degree P
    “I am the one who knocks!”: What It Means to Be a Man in Breaking Bad. By Stephanie Wille Submitted to the graduate degree program in Film and Media Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John C. Tibbetts ________________________________ Dr. Ron Wilson ________________________________ Dr. Germaine Halegoua Date Defended: August 18, 2014 ii The Dissertation Committee for Stephanie Wille certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: “I am the one who knocks!”: What It Means to Be a Man in Breaking Bad. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John C. Tibbetts Date approved: October 30, 2014 iii Abstract Breaking Bad (AMC, 2008-2013) dramatizes the rise and fall of Walter White, a mild- mannered high school chemistry teacher who, through a series of misfortunes and freak opportunities, is transformed into a notorious, brutal drug kingpin -- a trajectory described as "Mr. Chips" to "Scarface." I contextualize and conduct a textual analysis of this acclaimed television series as a case study that demonstrates the increasingly complex construction of masculine identity in contemporary television. This study examines the reception of specific characters among critics and audiences, as well as investigates the ways in which the setting and depiction of ethnicities influence representations of masculinity. Calling for attention to the apparent lack in masculinity studies on television, the complex male representation in Breaking Bad suggests that men are not merely experiencing a crisis of their masculinity in contemporary society, but demonstrates that there is a problem with uniform white, hetero-normative representation of masculinity on TV.

  • Syllabus -- Spoiler-Free! Messiah College
    The Wages of Sin is Death: Breaking Bad as the New American Tragedy Course Syllabus -- Spoiler-Free! Messiah College. Fall 2015. Tuesdays, 6:15-9:15 p.m. Boyer 131. Instructor: James B. LaGrand Email: [email protected] Office: Boyer 264 Office hours: Mondays, Wednesdays, & Fridays, 11-noon; Telephone: ext. 7381 Thursdays, 3-4 p.m.; & by appointment Course description A number of serialized TV dramas over the past decade or so have led many critics to call this period “the golden age of television.” No show better epitomizes this label than Breaking Bad. Its thrilling plots and cliff-hangers have won it millions of viewers. But it’s more than a pop culture phenomenon. Creator Vince Gilligan’s show stands out for its novelistic structure and sensitive examination of characters’ inner lives. Even more remarkable for a television program, Breaking Bad provides a relentlessly honest picture of the human condition--both its vices and virtues. The show’s depictions of the seven “deadly sins” or “capital vices”-- especially pride, envy, greed, and wrath--have led many viewers to recall Greek and Shakespearean tragedies. Acclaimed not only by the public but also by television and literature critics, Breaking Bad is uniquely well-suited among television shows for study and reflection in a classroom context. In this course, you will take in course content (i.e. episodes of Breaking Bad) outside of the classroom--what’s sometimes called a “flipped classroom.” Thus, class sessions can be reserved for discussion and assimilation of this show’s many timely and important themes--including human depravity and morality, drugs, drug policy, marriage, family, friendship, masculinity, gender relations, work, vocation, money, and race.

Cherry Saint Louis University School of Law Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review, v. 55, no. 2, Forthcoming 2022 Employment Status for “Essential Workers”: The Case for Gig Worker Parity By Miriam A. Cherry* I. INTRODUCTION Gig workers have been on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic, providing essential services like grocery shopping, transportation, and food delivery. Yet many encountered difficulties because they lacked protective equipment, had neither benefits or sick days, and would likely not be able to receive worker’s compensation if they became ill.1 Gig workers also encountered difficult situations with the customers they were helping to serve. For example, a Lyft driver wrote about his experiences, noting that many of the riders refused to wear masks, and in fact resented him for attempting to enforce Lyft’s safety rules.2 Some of these passengers were too drunk to drive themselves, and did not seem to have the coordination to put on a mask.3 Other passengers were capable of following the rules, yet felt that the pandemic was a hoax or that the mask rules did not apply to them. Some drivers threw up their hands and gave up on masks because they needed the income so desperately; but as they did so, they knew they were taking risks with their health.4 Indeed, that particular gamble has sometimes led to tragic results.

Walt’s ter- minal lung cancer diagnosis triggers this transformation.2 As Walt segues from “Mr. Chips to Scarface,”3 the fallout is considerable. Although the series is driven by its narrative complexity and penetrating character de- velopment, law plays an important subsidiary role,4 primarily through the Drug Enforcement Agency’s (DEA) efforts to track Walt’s criminal ex- ploits.
