Specifically, it looks at how nostalgic TV production design shapes and is shaped by larger historical discourses on gender and technological change, and America's perceived decline as a global power. Alex Bevan argues that the aesthetics of nostalgic TV tell stories of their own about historical decline and progress, and the place of the baby boomer television suburb in American national memory. She contests theories on nostalgia that see it as stagnating, regressive or a reversion to outdated gender and racial politics, and the technophobic longing for a bygone era; and, instead, argues nostalgia is an important form of historical memory and vehicle for negotiating periods of historical transition. The book addresses how and why the shows construct the boomer era as a placeholder for gender, racial, technological and declensionist discourses of the present. The book uses Mad Men (AMC, 2007), Ugly Betty (ABC, 2006-2010), Desperate Housewives (ABC, 2004-2012) and film remakes of 1950s and 60s family sitcoms as primary case studies. 650 0 $a Nostalgia on television. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009006724 650 0 $a Television $x Art direction. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh92006184 650 0 $a Television programs $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 7 $a Nostalgia on television. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01748526 650 7 $a Television programs $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01147057 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210023145.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3F4D5CF41B1B11EAA846F92397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
