  • Mad Men's Deceptive (Critique Of) Creativity
    Cultural Studies Review volume 18 number 2 September 2012 http://epress.lib.uts.edu.au/journals/index.php/csrj/index pp. 262–77 Julie Robert 2012 Mad Men’s Deceptive (Critique Of) Creativity JULIE ROBERT UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, SYDNEY The nature of creativity in AMC’s Mad Men had been a background issue up until its fourth season. It then began to offer subtle but provocative interventions in debates about the mythology of alcohol and inspiration, industry-specific definitions of creativity and, through them, the paradoxical relation of creative expression to silence. Taking up this last point at the narratological level via a reading of silences and analepses in the fourth season, this study illuminates Mad Men’s more recent engagements with creativity. Within the context of the Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce agency, creativity is first and foremost a commodity for sale. Creative thinking and the ability to translate these brilliant ideas into viable marketing strategies are paramount. One without the other is of limited value. This industry-specific notion of creativity is explained in a 1960 article in the Journal of Marketing by Albert Politz, a New York-based market researcher working in the advertising industry. He defines ‘creativeness’ as ‘the advanced form of imagination where it is purposively used by abiding to rigid rules and by meeting practical conditions’.1 Similar studies of perceptions of ISSN 1837-8692 creativity in advertising work from a notion that it ‘differs from artistic expression and other forms of creativity-for-the-sake-of-creativity’.2 Although this view is not endorsed to the same extent among those within the industry, even those working on the creative rather than the accounts side of the industry agree that creativity is ‘more than originality’.3 Also implied in these definitions culled from industry insiders is the notion that creativity is not a solo endeavour.

    “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.

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.

  • 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.

  • THE CIRCUITRY of MEMORY: TIME and SPACE in MAD MEN by Molly Elizabeth Lewis B.A., Honours, the University of British Columbia, 2
    THE CIRCUITRY OF MEMORY: TIME AND SPACE IN MAD MEN by Molly Elizabeth Lewis B.A., Honours, The University of British Columbia, 2013 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Film Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2015 © Molly Elizabeth Lewis, 2015 Abstract Memory is central to Mad Men (Matthew Weiner 2007-15) as a period piece set in the 1960s that activates the memories of its viewers while also depicting the subjective memory processes of its protagonist Donald Draper (Jon Hamm). Narratively, as much as Don may try to move forward and forget his past, he ultimately cannot because the memories will always remain. Utilizing the philosophy of Henri Bergson, I reveal that the series effectively renders Bergson’s notion of the coexistence of past and present in sequences that journey into the past without ever leaving the present. Mad Men ushers in a new era of philosophical television that is not just perceived, but also remembered. As a long-form serial narrative that intricately layers past upon present, Mad Men is itself an evolving memory that can be revisited by the viewer who gains new insight upon each viewing. Mad Men is the ideal intersection of Bergson’s philosophy of the mind and memory and Gilles Deleuze’s cinematic philosophy of time. The first chapter simply titled “Time,” examines the series’ first flashback sequence from the episode “Babylon,” in it finding the Deleuzian time- image. The last chapter “Space,” seeks to identify the spatial structure of the series as a whole and how it relates to its slow-burning pace.

Consider the wildly successful ‘Most Interesting Man in the World’ advertising campaign for Dos Equis beer (2007-present) produced by the multinational integrated marketing agency, Euro RSCG Worldwide. The first time I saw one of these adverts in the late 2000s, I must admit I was confused. I asked myself what was the point of these commercials and who were they targeted at? (I later found out it is males 18 to 34.) They star American TV journeyman actor, Jonathan Goldsmith, who acknowledges that he based his characterization on the Argentine-born 1940s Hollywood heartthrob Fernando Lamas.

  • "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.
