  • The Museum of Modern Art Presents a Discussion of the HBO Series the Sopranos with the Series Writer/Director David Chase and No
    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.

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.

  • BADA BING! the SOPRANOS and QUIXOTIC REALISM August Braddock1
    BADA BING! THE SOPRANOS AND QUIXOTIC REALISM August Braddock1 ABSTRACT Often considered the television series that brought about the second golden age of television, The Sopranos can be viewed as a quixotic narrative. This is especially true when looking at the sixth and final season of the series, with particular focus on the final sequence of the series finale, titled “Made in America.” Not only is the entire series quixotic through its acknowledgement of the impact of real-life East coast Italian- American mafia families and previous cinematic portrayals of mob life, the most noteworthy being The Godfather trilogy and Goodfellas, but also through its Byronic hero, Anthony “Tony” Soprano. Furthermore, the series finale of The Sopranos invites audience participation through the act of leaving the narrative open – no member of the audience knows exactly what happened to their beloved Byronic hero and are left to their own devices to craft an individual conclusion. Through the acts of calling back to the nonfictional and cinematic renditions of mobster life and culture, including a Byronic hero as the series‟ protagonist, and through the act of inviting audience participation to conclude the much beloved series, The Sopranos proves itself to be a modern quixotic mobster crime drama. KEYWORDS: The Sopranos; Quixotic; DeCavelcante; Byronic Hero. BADA BING! THE SOPRANOS E REALISMO QUIXÓTICO RESUMO Considerada muitas vezes a série de televisão responsável pela segunda era dourada da televisão, The Sopranos pode ser lida como uma narrativa quixotesca. Isso é especialmente verdade no que toca à última temporada da série, em especial a sequência final do final da série, intitulada “Made in America”.

  • "The Strong, Silent Type": Tony Soprano, Don Draper, and the Construction of the White Male Antihero in Contemporary Television Drama
    "THE STRONG, SILENT TYPE": TONY SOPRANO, DON DRAPER, AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE WHITE MALE ANTIHERO IN CONTEMPORARY TELEVISION DRAMA James Beale A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2014 Committee: Becca Cragin, Advisor Esther Clinton Jeremy Wallach © 2014 James Beale All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Becca Cragin, Advisor In this thesis, I examine intertextuality present between The Sopranos and Mad Men, particularly in regards to each show’s protagonist. Tony Soprano and Don Draper are complex characters, each with their own conflicts, neuroses, and supporting characters, yet both men address a similar question: what does it mean to be a man in 21st century America? Both men deal with complex identities due to their pasts, exacerbated struggles due to their jobs, and most importantly, equally complex women who challenge their authority. While addressing issues of gender, I discuss the linkages present between each show’s creator, David Chase and Matthew Weiner, which speaks to the broader thematic overlap between the two dramas. Intertextuality, partially stemming from Weiner’s time in the Sopranos writing room under Chase, can help to interrogate television’s own auteur, the showrunner. I also analyze the white male antihero archetype as a whole, which has been popular on American television in the past fifteen years, as I trace the major conflicts to Robert Warshow’s formulation of the gangster as a tragic hero. For Warshow, though, the gangster ultimately worked as a straightforward morality tale – in these shows, the message of the antihero is deliberately muddled, crafting an intimate portrait of masculinity in crisis.

  • Fellow Profiles
    A Project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania Fellow Profiles – 2014 Recipients Ryan Speedo Green, opera singer After seeing bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green perform as the Commendatore in a production of Don Giovanni at the Juilliard School, a reviewer for the New York Post commented that he had “the magnetic presence of a superstar.” Ryan, who grew up in low-income housing in Suffolk, Va., benefited from the support and encouragement of a teacher who steered him to the Governor’s School for the Arts in Norfolk. At the age of 14, he saw Carmen at the Metropolitan Opera and that experience was transformative. Ten years later, after earning a Bachelor of Music from the University of Hartford and a Master of Music from Florida State University, Ryan won the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions and he was Photo by Dario Acosta Photography invited to apply for the Met’s Lindemann Young Artist Development Program. In fall 2014, Ryan will join the Vienna Staatsoper as a company member. Fellowship funds will cover the costs of his move to Vienna and provide vital resources for voice lessons and coaching for new roles, including his first major role at the Metropolitan Opera in The Death of Klinghoffer, and Ferrando in a new production of Il Trovatore at Opera de Lille. Francesca dePasquale, violinist Raised in Philadelphia, Francesca dePasquale grew up with a family of distinguished musicians, including her father William, co-concertmaster of the Philadelphia Orchestra, and her mother Gloria, a member of the cello section.
