SUMMARY:Jewish Representation on TV: Dissecting The Sopranos\, The West Wing\, The Wire and Mad Men
DESCRIPTION:How Jews are depicted on TV tells us a lot about identity\, stereotypes and cultural history.\nThe period from around 1999 — the start of “The Sopranos” — to the 2020s has been called many things: the “Prestige TV” era\, TV’s second “Golden Age\,” “Peak TV.” The nicknames all allude to the unusual abundance of historically acclaimed TV series\, driven by a variety of industry factors (and a generation of great screenwriters\, of course). \nThanks to changes in society\, pop culture and the entertainment industry\, some of the era’s most famous shows — many helmed by Jewish writers — featured prominent Jewish characters and themes in complex new ways onscreen. \nHave fun reliving the Jewishness of the recent Golden Age with Gabe Friedman — 70 Faces Media’s director of editorial experiences and a former JTA editor who covered Jewish representation on TV — as he takes you through an analysis of four seminal shows: “The Sopranos\,” “The West Wing\,” “The Wire” and “Mad Men.” \nYou’ll discuss how each show portrays Jewish characters and nuanced aspects of Jewish history and culture — and you’ll debate the impacts they’ve had on Jews\, and on the ways others think about Jews. \nEach class is approximately 1 hour long. We will discuss plot points for all of these shows. There are no refunds for this course. \n4 Mondays at 8 p.m. ET from Nov. 24 – Dec. 15 \nAll classes will be recorded and sent to registrants.
