Beskrivning

For seven seasons, AMC’s Mad Men captivated audiences with the story of Don Draper, an advertising executive whose personal and professional successes and failures took viewers on a roller coaster ride through America’s tumultuous 1960s. More than just a television show about one of advertising’s “bad boys,” the series investigates the principles of the American regime, exploring whether or not the American Dream is a sustainable vision of human flourishing and happiness. This collection of essays investigates the show’s engagement with the philosophic and political foundations of American democracy.

Recensioner i media

Editors Sara MacDonald and Andrew Moore have assembled a provocative and intriguing set of authors who situate the show as an important political text, with something to tell both scholars and fans about the evolution of the American ideals and idealism.... This volume will not only be of interest to fans of Mad Men and to scholars looking for ways to do this sort of interdisciplinary textual analysis, but it is also likely to provide those of us who teach political theory with a way to engage our students, via popular culture, with some of the enduring themes and classic dilemmas of our tradition. It is a welcome and intriguing addition to the scholarly canon of work on Matthew Weiner’s deserving and fascinating television series.
