| carl weber's the family business episodes: Shameless Sociology Jennifer Beggs Weber, Pamela M. Hunt, 2020-09-23 In 2011, Showtime premiered Shameless, a comedy-drama about the audacious behaviors of the Gallaghers, a white, working-class family living in Chicago’s South Side. In 2020, the series headed into the production of its eleventh and final season, making it the longest-running original scripted program in Showtime’s history. Shameless explores topics such as poverty, alcoholism, teen pregnancy, and mental illness. The series has been credited with “reinventing working-class TV” and for humanizing groups that are typically “othered” or simply laughed at. However, others have critiqued the show for relying on and promoting stereotypes, and for the cavalier ways in which it portrays controversial social issues like rape and abortion. Shameless Sociology: Critical Perspectives on a Popular Television Series offers a critical eye toward topics such as gentrification, pregnancy and abortion, racial and gender inequality, and homophobia, and illustrates the ways in which Shameless sometimes confronts and topples stereotypes, yet, at other times, serves to reinforce and perpetuate them. Given the broad appeal of the show and the diverse topics it covers, this book will appeal to the general public, as well as researchers of media, culture, and social inequalities, and undergraduate and graduate students at institutions of higher education. |

| carl weber's the family business episodes: Undoing the Demos Wendy Brown, 2015-02-13 Tracing neoliberalism's devastating erosions of democratic principles, practices, and cultures. Neoliberal rationality—ubiquitous today in statecraft and the workplace, in jurisprudence, education, and culture—remakes everything and everyone in the image of homo oeconomicus. What happens when this rationality transposes the constituent elements of democracy into an economic register? In Undoing the Demos, Wendy Brown explains how democracy itself is imperiled. The demos disintegrates into bits of human capital; concerns with justice bow to the mandates of growth rates, credit ratings, and investment climates; liberty submits to the imperative of human capital appreciation; equality dissolves into market competition; and popular sovereignty grows incoherent. Liberal democratic practices may not survive these transformations. Radical democratic dreams may not either. In an original and compelling argument, Brown explains how and why neoliberal reason undoes the political form and political imaginary it falsely promises to secure and reinvigorate. Through meticulous analyses of neoliberalized law, political practices, governance, and education, she charts the new common sense. Undoing the Demos makes clear that for democracy to have a future, it must become an object of struggle and rethinking. |

| carl weber's the family business episodes: Dynamics of Contention Doug McAdam, Sidney Tarrow, Charles Tilly, 2001-09-10 Over the past two decades the study of social movements, revolution, democratization and other non-routine politics has flourished. And yet research on the topic remains highly fragmented, reflecting the influence of at least three traditional divisions. The first of these reflects the view that various forms of contention are distinct and should be studied independent of others. Separate literatures have developed around the study of social movements, revolutions and industrial conflict. A second approach to the study of political contention denies the possibility of general theory in deference to a grounding in the temporal and spatial particulars of any given episode of contention. The study of contentious politics are left to 'area specialists' and/or historians with a thorough knowledge of the time and place in question. Finally, overlaid on these two divisions are stylized theoretical traditions - structuralist, culturalist, and rationalist - that have developed largely in isolation from one another. http://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/cam021/2001016172.html. |

| carl weber's the family business episodes: The Essential Sopranos Reader David Lavery, Douglas L. Howard, Paul Levinson, 2011-07-29 The Sopranos is recognized as the most successful cable series in the history of television. The Washington Post has called the popular series, winner of twenty-one Emmys and five Golden Globes, the television landmark that leaves other landmarks in the dust. In every aspect -- narrative structure, visual artistry, writing, intertextuality, ensemble acting, controversial themes, dark humor, and unflinching examinations of American life -- The Sopranos has had few equals. Offering a definitive final assessment of the series, The Essential Sopranos Reader aims to comprehensively examine the show's themes and enduring cultural significance. Gender and ethnicity, the role of dreams, the rebirth of HBO, the series' controversial finale, and other topics come under scrutiny in this highly accessible, engaging collection. The book concludes with an interview with Dominic Chianese, who played Uncle Junior in all six seasons of the show. |
| carl weber's the family business episodes: The Waikiki Widow Juanita Sheridan, 2003-09 Honolulu has always had its Waikiki Widow, a rich and beautiful woman who presides over the city's night life. This time it's the newly arrived Lady Blanche Carleton, whose elderly British diplomat husband died shortly after the communists took over in China. But what is the source of Lady Blanche's money? Rumor has it that her husband left all his money to his sister back in Sussex. Is tea broker Henry Hunter paying her bills in exchange for her favors? Is it only the widow's great beauty that draws so many different men into her web? And what is her connection to Dragon Well, a highly sought after tea that is being smuggled out of China? If Lily Wu and her Watson, novelist Janice Cameron, can find the answers to those questions, some of which go back to the royal palace of the last emperor, then they can solve the murder of Yao, a refugee Chinese servant, and restore the fortune of Madame Li, a family friend of the Wus, who withstood horrible torture before escaping to Hawaii from China. Aiding Lily and Janice are their Island Irregulars, the seven adopted teenage daughters of a former imperial palace unuch. |
