Masculinity in Contemporary Quality Television

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Recent years have seen a rise in the popularity and quantity of ¿quality¿ television programs, many of which featuring complicated versions of masculinity that are informed not only by the women¿s movement of the sixties and seventies, but also by several decades of backlash and debate about the effects of women¿s equality on men, masculinity, and the relationship between men and women. Drawing upon studies of contemporary television programs, including popular series viewed internationally such as Mad Men, The League, Hung, Breaking Bad, Louie, and Girls, this book explores the ways in which popular cultural texts address widely circulating discourses of the ostensible ¿crisis of masculinity¿ in contemporary culture.
