    “SPEAK ABOUT DESTRUCTION”: REPRESENTING 9/11 IN THE SOPRANOS A Thesis by VITO V. PETRUZZELLI Submitted to the Cratis D. Williams School of Graduate Studies Appalachian State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2015 Department of English “SPEAK ABOUT DESTRUCTION”: REPRESENTING 9/11 IN THE SOPRANOS A Thesis by VITO V. PETRUZZELLI December 2015 APPROVED BY: Craig Fischer, Ph.D. Chairperson, Thesis Committee Germán Campos-Muñoz, Ph.D. Member, Thesis Committee Başak Çandar, Ph.D. Member, Thesis Committee Carl Eby, Ph.D. Chairperson, Department of English Max C. Poole, Ph.D. Dean, Cratis D. Williams School of Graduate Studies Copyright by Vito V. Petruzzelli 2015 All Rights Reserved Abstract “SPEAK ABOUT DESTRUCTION”: REPRESENTING 9/11 IN THE SOPRANOS Vito V. Petruzzelli B.A., Rutgers University M.A., Appalachian State University Chairperson: Craig Fischer Broadly definable as an interdisciplinary study of televisual texts, literature, and history, this thesis analyses David Chase’s The Sopranos (1999-2007) and its engagement of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks. Tracing the show’s narrative and aesthetic roots to its pilot episode, I explore how narrative and aesthetic elements contained in 9/11 television newscasts elicited both an alteration and an exaggeration of the show’s structural and symbolic elements. Furthermore, I illustrate the impact of televisual mediation on the act of viewership, demonstrating the manner in which The Sopranos and 9/11 newscasts employed authoritative narrative perspectives as a means of disseminating vital information to viewers. Methodologically, I employ a narratological approach to show through close textual analysis how elements of location and sequential ordering inform the creation of unique story worlds, and how these story worlds operate symbiotically with viewers in creating meanings beyond the texts.

  • A Second Sopranos Packet Much Like 12 Episodes of the Sopranos, This Packet Was Written by Matt Weiner 37 Tossups with Powers
    Not Possible, Even With Computers: A Second Sopranos Packet Much like 12 episodes of The Sopranos, this packet was written by Matt Weiner 37 tossups with powers 1. Immediately after Tony is informed of this action, a semi-conscious man mumbles "the fish is in my pocket." The results of this action are discovered as a man yells "Yo, Einstein, you should have seen me at the hospital." Authorization for this action is given by the sly phrase "I don't know" after contrasting the target of this action with a man who put up storm windows. Along with a related action that causes another character to wear a (*) neck brace in the following episode, this action is the second event intercut with a performance of the Welsh song "Ar Hyd y Nos." The target of this action is smoking a pack of Marlboro Lights with a red lighter and hears the pun "hijack, bye jack" before receiving a "Moe Green special" in his bathtub. For 10 points, identify this murder committed by Mikey Palmice with Junior present, which targeted a friend of Chris. ANSWER: killing Brendan Filone 2. Patsy is initially confused by thinking Mr. Caputo is referring to these people taking over the poultry store. After being corrected for referring to these kinds of "pricks" holding Meadow "hostage" at Columbia, Tony says that Italians are these people "with better food." In the much-beloved Columbus Day episode "Christopher," one-off character Ruben the Cuban is accused of bias against these people. Dr. Reis idiotically reflects on some (*) "tough" examples of these people at the Melfi family's therapy session.

  • Hegemonic Masculinity and Un-Made Men in the Sopranos Jordan Senior
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Huddersfield Repository WALK LIKE A MAN: HEGEMONIC MASCULINITY AND UN-MADE MEN IN THE SOPRANOS JORDAN SENIOR A thesis submitted to the University of Huddersfield in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters by Research in English Literature. May 2017 ABSTRACT This thesis is intended to provide a re-evaluation of The Sopranos in response to recent contributions made to the field of film and television studies regarding the rise of “Quality Television” (Albrecht 2015 p. 5) and the “male-centred serial” (Lotz 2014 p. 21) as a popular medium. The thesis will examine the degree to which the depiction of a crisis in masculinity in The Sopranos can be said to represent a patriarchal or feminist configuration of masculinity (Lotz 2014 p. 35), and to what extent it either reaffirms or repudiates Connell’s (2005) model of hegemonic masculinity. The argument will focus on three main areas; the embodiment of masculinity, the performance of masculinity, and the presentation of violence in The Sopranos. The argument of this essay is that The Sopranos employs gendered processes of pleasure, unpleasure and identification to deconstruct hegemonic masculinity as part of a demythologising project which uses affective learning to achieve its aims (Tan 1996 p.28), and in doing so, the thesis suggests that The Sopranos creates a space for imagining new ways of performing masculinity and new, feminist configurations of male gender identity based on the acceptance and internalisation of “prohibit[ed] forms of emotion, attachment and pleasure” (Connell 2005 p.
