  • The New Television Masculinity in Rescue Me, Nip/Tuck, the Shield
    Rescuing Men: The New Television Masculinity In Rescue Me, Nip/Tuck, The Shield, Boston Legal, & Dexter A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Pamela Hill Nettleton IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Mary Vavrus, Ph.D, Adviser November 2009 © Pamela Hill Nettleton, November/2009 i Acknowledgements I have had the extreme good fortune of benefitting from the guidance, insight, wit, and wisdom of a committee of exceptional and accomplished scholars. First, I wish to thank my advisor, Mary Vavrus, whose insightful work in feminist media studies and political economy is widely respected and admired. She has been an inspiring teacher, an astute critic, and a thoughtful pilot for me through this process, and I attempt to channel her dignity and competence daily. Thank you to my committee chair, Gilbert Rodman, for his unfailing encouragement and support and for his perceptive insights; he has a rare gift for challenging students while simultaneously imbuing them with confidence. Donald Browne honored me with his advice and participation even as he prepared to ease his way out of active teaching, and I learned from him as his student, as his teaching assistant, and as a listener to what must be only a tiny part of his considerable collection of modern symphonic music. Jacqueline Zita’s combination of theoretical acumen and pragmatic activism is the very definition of a feminist scholar, and my days in her classroom were memorable. Laurie Ouellette is a polished and flawless extemporaneous speaker and teacher, and her writing on television is illuminating; I have learned much from her.

We are glad that you have chosen a TCA education and we are convinced that you have made a good choice. At TCA, our students learn from the masters. From Aesop and George Washington in kindergarten, Michelangelo and Beethoven in fifth grade, and The Federalist Papers and modern science in upper school, our teachers lead their students to the riches of the Western Tradition. It is our conviction that all students can and should learn about the events, documents, and discoveries which have shaped our tradition and led us to where we are today. A basic premise of classical education is that we have much to learn from our ancestors, especially those who made history. Studying the culture- shaping events, texts, theories, works of art, and biographies that came before us, slowly creates a background in front of which our students begin to understand the events of today. In addition, or rather, as a condition of becoming culturally literate, we hold that our students ought to be good human beings. Intelligence and learning by themselves do not necessitate goodness. Therefore, our students ought to be honest, respectful, full of integrity and perseverance; they ought to cooperate with others, be responsible, and display citizenship and courage in their daily lives.
