Numerous contemporary televisual productions revisit the past 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 a 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 compositions style invites discussions from scholars of various fields, as well as those who are simply fans of history or of Mad Men.
Debarchana Baruah is a cultural theorist at the American Studies department, University of Tubingen. She completed her doctoral studies at the Heidelberg Center for American Studies, Heidelberg University and received her B. A. , M. A. , and M. Phil. degrees in English Literature from the University of Delhi. She is interested in US popular cultures, film and television, memory cultures, food cultures and immigration histories.
