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. A rich study of masculinity and its
representation in contemporary television, Masculinity in
Contemporary Quality Television will appeal to scholars and
students of cultural and media studies, popular culture, television
studies and cultural sociology with interests in gender,
masculinities, and sexuality.
