Ties That Bind: American Fiction and the Origins of Social Network Analysis DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Adam Charles Stier, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Dr. David Herman, Advisor Dr. Brian McHale Dr. James Phelan Copyright by Adam Charles Stier 2013 Abstract Under the auspices of the digital humanities, scholars have recently raised the question of how current research on social networks might inform the study of fictional texts, even using computational methods to “quantify” the relationships among characters in a given work. However, by focusing on only the most recent developments in social network research, such criticism has so far neglected to consider how the historical development of social network analysis—a methodology that attempts to identify the rule-bound processes and structures underlying interpersonal relationships—converges with literary history. Innovated by sociologists and social psychologists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, including Georg Simmel (chapter 1), Charles Horton Cooley (chapter 2), Jacob Moreno (chapter 3), and theorists of the “small world” phenomenon (chapter 4), social network analysis emerged concurrently with the development of American literary modernism. Over the course of four chapters, Ties That Bind demonstrates that American modernist fiction coincided with a nascent “science” of social networks, such that we can discern striking parallels between emergent network-analytic procedures and the particular configurations by which American authors of this period structured (and more generally imagined) the social worlds of their stories.

Phd Manuscript 190429 Plain Text
The Presence of Performance and the Stakes of Serial Drama: Accrual, Transience, Companionship Elliott Logan MPhil (University of Queensland, 2013) BA, Hons (University of Queensland, 2009) BA (University of Queensland, 2007) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2018 School of Communication and Arts Abstract This thesis shows how performance is a critically neglected but crucial aspect of serial television drama as an art form. One of serial drama’s obvious storytelling attractions is its ability to involve viewers in relationships between characters over long periods of time. Such involvement takes place through a recurring structure of episodes and seasons, whose unfolding reflects the extensive, ongoing history through which interpersonal bonds form and develop, deepen and decay. The characters we watch onscreen are embodied and performed by actors. Television studies, however, has persistently overlooked screen performance, hampering appreciation of serial drama’s affinity with long-term relationships as a resource for aesthetic significance. Redressing such neglect, this thesis directs new critical attention to expressive stylistic relationships between serial form, screen performance, and the subject of companionship in some recent US serial dramas. The focus of that attention is a particular aesthetic quality: the provisional, which emerges through serial drama’s distinctive tension between permanence and transience. In the first chapter, I argue that the provisional is central to an affinity between screen performance, seriality in television drama, and companionship as an aspect of human life. Chapters Two and Three then show how the art of the provisional in particular series has been underappreciated due to television studies’ neglect of performance and expressiveness as dimensions of serial form in television fiction.

By using social codes developed by Leed-Hurwitz and Barthes’ five systems of meaning in semiotics, observations are made about the elements of the mise-en-scène in relation to the gender roles present in the narrative.

Opening with a montage of Don Draper after he has begun to reclaim his life we hear The Rolling Stones 1965 summer release, “(I can’t get no) Satisfaction”. Arguably their signature song of the 1960s, the Stones’ three minutes and forty four seconds of audible discontent is layered onto a somewhat rehabilitated Draper who swims and takes on writing exercises.

“Women Usually Want to Please”: A Linguistic Analysis of Femininity and Power in Mad Men by Stephanie Stoneback A thesis presented for the B.A. degree with Honors in The Department of English University of Michigan Winter 2019 © 2019 Stephanie Christine Stoneback To my mom. Acknowledgments First of all, I would like to thank my thesis advisor, Anne Curzan, for her unwavering support, guidance, and understanding throughout this process. Anne, without your encouragement, listening ear, criticism, and patience, I would have never been able to produce such exciting analysis that I am proud of. To me, you embody what it means to be a powerful woman and you are such an inspiration as I complete my undergraduate work and enter a new phase of life. Thank you so much for that. Next, I must thank our program director, Adela Pinch, for her helpful tips and constant reminders that everything was going to be okay. Adela, in many ways, you have shaped my education as an English major at the University of Michigan—you taught me the Introduction to Literary Studies course, a course on Jane Austen, and both semesters of Thesis Writing. Thank you so much for the years of engaged learning, critical thinking, and community building. I would also like to thank some of the staff members of the New England Literature Program, who helped instill in me a confidence in my writing and in my self that I never knew I was capable of. Aric Knuth, Ryan Babbitt, Mark Gindi, Maya West, and Kristin Gilger, each of you had a distinct and lasting impact on me, in some unspoken and perhaps sacred ways.

Sally, Part 33 a Waldorf-Astoria Wedding—1965
© 2010 Angela Bauer Sally, Part 33 A Waldorf-Astoria Wedding—1965 Fiction by Angela Bauer Nothing could have filled me with such joy as Gene running to greet Bobby and me when we returned to our house in Rye on Sunday, November 21, from a weekend in Manhattan with Daddy and his fiancée Megan Lachaille Calvert. Nanny Walsh told us that during the day Gene had pulled down his own trainers to use the toilet. She was sure Gene would soon be out of diapers at night. Bobby and I exchanged a look. Gene was only twenty-nine months old and soon would be sleeping without a diaper. Bobby was seven and I was eleven, yet we both still needed diapers and plastic panties in bed. Was Nanny Walsh deliberately being spiteful about us? Frankly, with everything else going on, especially Megan asking me to be a bridesmaid, I could care less about disapproval from Nanny Walsh. She knew when she took the job that Gene, Bobby and me needed diapers. By then Bobby was in trainers weekend days and wore regulation cotton underpants to school. So Nanny Walsh only needed to change Bobby once or twice a day. I had been washing nearly all the trainers and sheets since I was nine, until we moved to Rye and Mommy hired so many servants. Mommy had used the DyDee diaper service for years. Nanny Walsh had only pinned me into a diaper once, because Mommy told her to do that after spanking me. Since she had never needed to deal with my wet diapers, I could not see why she was complaining.

It's a Mad Mad Men's World
Lunds universitet Viktor Svanström Språk- och Litteraturcentrum FIVK01 Filmvetenskap Handledare: Erik Hedling 2020-01-15 It’s a mad mad men’s world En analys av HBO-serien Mad Men utifrån ett genusperspektiv med fokus på maskulinitet Abstract: I uppsatsen genomförs en djupanalys av ett flertal avsnitt från den amerikanska tv-serien Mad Men utifrån huvudsakligen två teoretiska koncept gällande studiet av maskulinitet. Dessa inkluderar bland andra Joseph A. Vandello och Jennifer K. Bosson et als studier gällande en så kallad ”osäker maskulinitet” i den vetenskapliga artikeln Precarious Manhood. Teorin gällande hegemonisk maskulinitet kommer att användas som basis för min analys, där R.W. Connell och respektive verk som Masculinities och Hegemonic masculinity: Rethinking the Concept kommer att användas som mina primära källor gällande konceptet av hegemonisk maskulinitet och diskussionen därav. Detta i syfte för att komma underfund med hur maskulinitet porträtteras i Mad Men, dess möjliga konsekvenser och reflektera kring maskulinitet i förhållande till det västerländska samhället, mer precist USA och Sverige, och det nuvarande 2000-talet. Nyckelord: Mad Men, maskulinitet, manlighet, könsroller, psykisk ohälsa Abstract: This essay will delve into a deep analysis regarding multiple episodes of the American tv-series Mad Men primarily from the perspective of two theoretical concepts regarding the study of masculinity. These include, for example, studies regarding the concept of “precarious manhood” by Joseph A. Vandello and Jennifer K. Bosson et al in the scientific article Precarious Manhood. The concept regarding hegemonic masculinity will be used for the basis of my analysis as well, with R.W. Connell and respective works such as Masculinities and Hegemonic masculinity: Rethinking the Concept will serve as my primary sources regarding the concept of hegemonic masculinity and the discussion there of.

Matthew Weiner's Mad
EXHIBITION FACT SHEET Matthew Weiner’s Mad Men March 14–September 6, 2015 (third-floor changing exhibitions gallery) Overview This new exhibition, about the creative process behind the television series Mad Men, features large-scale sets, memorable costumes, hundreds of props, advertising art used in the production of the series, and personal notes and research material from Matthew Weiner, the show’s creator, head writer, and executive producer. The exhibition offers unique insight into the series’ origins, and how its exceptional storytelling and remarkable attention to period detail resulted in a vivid portrait of an era and the characters who lived through it. Matthew Weiner’s Mad Men marks the first time objects relating to the production of the series will be shown in public on this scale. The exhibition was accompanied by a film series, Required Viewing: Mad Men’s Movie Influences, which featured ten films selected by Matthew Weiner that inspired the show. It ran March 14 through April 26, 2015. The exhibition coincides with the series’ final seven episodes, which aired on AMC from April 5–May 17, 2015. Highlights include: Two large-scale sets, including Don Draper’s SC&P office and the Draper family kitchen from their Ossining home. These sets were transported from Los Angeles where Mad Men was shot, and installed at the Museum using the original props from the show. Ellen Freund, who served as property master on Mad Men for seasons four through seven, dressed the sets for the Museum’s installation. A recreation of the writers’ room where Weiner and his team crafted story ideas and scripts for the series, complete with story notes for the first half of season seven listed on a white board, and index cards, research material, and other elements created and used by Mad Men’s writers.

ENG 1131: Writing About American Prestige TV (Sec 4841)
ENG 1131: Writing About American Prestige TV (sec 4841) Milt Moise MWF/R: Period 4: 10:40-11:30; E1-E3: 7:20-10:10 Classroom: WEIL 408E Office Hours: W, R Per. 7-8, or by appointment, TUR 4342 Course Website: CANVAS Instructor Email: [email protected] Twitter account: @milt_moise Course Description, Objectives, and Outcomes: This course examines the emergence of what is now called “prestige TV,” and the discourse surrounding it. Former FCC chairman Newton N. Minow, in a 1961 speech, once called TV “a vast wasteland” of violence, formulaic entertainment, and commercials. Television has come a long way since then, and critics such as Andy Greenwald now call our current moment of television production “the golden age of TV.” While television shows containing the elements Minow decried decades ago still exist, alongside them we now find television characterized by complex plots, moral ambiguity, excellent production value, and outstanding writing and acting performances. In this class, our discussions will center around, but not be limited to the aesthetics of prestige TV, and how AMC’s Mad Men and TBS’s Search Party conform to or subvert this framework. Students will learn to visually analyze a television show, and develop their critical reading and writing skills. By the end of the semester, students will be able to make substantiated arguments about the television show they have seen, and place it into greater social and historical context. They will also learn how to conduct formal research through the use of secondary sources and other relevant material to support their theses, analyses and arguments.
