| Summary: | Frontmatter -- Contents -- Acknowledgements -- Introduction -- Part I -- Chapter 1: Retro -- Chapter 2: History in Retros -- Part II -- Chapter 3: Television Memories and Intertextualities in Mad Men -- Chapter 4: Mad Men and its Paratexts -- Part III -- Chapter 5: The Mad Men Network -- Conclusion -- List of Mad Men Episodes Cited -- Works Cited Numerous contemporary televisual productions revisit the 1960s but direct their energies towards history's non-events and anti-heroic subjectivities. Debarchana Baruah offers a vocabulary to discuss these, using Mad Men as primary case study and supplementing the analysis with other examples from the US and around the world. She takes a fundamentally interdisciplinary approach to studying film and television, drawing from history, memory, and nostalgia discourses, and layering them with theories of intertextuality, paratexts, and actor-networks. The book's compositionist style invites discussion from scholars of various fields, as well as those who are simply fans of history or of Mad Men |
