The definitions of fatherhood have shifted in the twenty-first
century as paternal subjectivities, conflicts, and desires have
registered in new ways in the contemporary family. This collection
investigates these sites of change through various lenses from
popular culture - film, television, blogs, best-selling fiction and
non-fiction, stand-up comedy routines, advertisements, newspaper
articles, parenting guide-books, and video games. Treating
constructions of the father at the nexus of patriarchy, gender, and
(post)feminist philosophy, contributors analyze how fatherhood is
defined in relation to masculinity and femininity, and the shifting
structures of the heteronormative nuclear family. Perceptions of
the father as the traditional breadwinner and authoritarian as
compared to a more engaged and involved nurturer are considered via
representations of fathers from the US, Canada, Britain, Australia,
South Africa, and Sweden.
Whether it's "Flashback Friday" or "Throwback Thursday," audiences
are hungry for nostalgic film and television, and the streaming
giant Netflix serves up shows from the past that satisfy this
craving, in addition to producing original contemporary content
with nostalgic flavor. As a part of the series "Reboots, Remakes
and Adaptations" originated by series editors Dr. Carlen Lavigne

angles such as the Netflix business model, the impact of streaming
platforms such as Netflix on the consumption of nostalgia, the
ideological nature of nostalgic representation in Netflix series,
and the various ways that Netflix content incorporates nostalgic
content and viewer responses. Many of the contributed chapters
analyze current, ongoing Netflix series, providing very timely and
original analysis by established and emerging scholars in a variety
of disciplines. What can we learn about our selves, our times, our
cultures, in response to an examination of "Netflix and Nostalgia"?
