Portraying the lives of advertising executives in the 1960s, Mad Men will draw expansive praise for, among other things, its verisimilitude in set design and costume, as well as its illustration of the sweeping societal changes between 1960 and 1970. Characters weep over Marilyn Monroe’s overdose, go to Mississippi to register black voters, and panic during those thirteen days in May. None of these historical realities is more relentlessly or graphically portrayed, however, than the oppression of women during this time period. Stiletto heels, pointy bras, and garter belts connote confinement; yet the imprisonment goes well beyond costume. The hero’s wife, Betty, a graduate of Bryn Mawr, majored in anthropology but is now stuck at home raising three children. Chain-smoking, bored, and angry, Betty could well have been one of Friedan’s subjects in The Feminine Mystique. The stultified housewife that producer, director, and writer Matthew Weiner presents does not surprise the twenty-first-century viewer—we know this story. What still can shock, however, is his portrayal of the daily interactions between men and women. Weiner portrays a male culture committed to rendering H LEN E S.

A close reading of Sara Paretsky's 2001 novel Total Recall demonstrates that the ongoing quest for social justice by her woman detective, V. I. Warshawski, is addressed through assertive women's voices that have also transformed critical approaches to women's crime fiction. In Paretsky's novels, V.I. finds herself in a double bind reserved for women in both social and literary terms: having to prove her stability and effectiveness as a professional detective and as a reliable first-person narrator. Total Recall's investigations of contemporary corporate crime trace their origins to American slavery and the Holocaust: the novel transforms the generic mean streets of crime fiction into a transnational crimescape with a two-way trajectory between contemporary Chicago and Central Europe's sites of mass murder. But instead of plotting a conclusion that declares triumph over such evil, the novel joins forces with historical accounts to investigate the staying power of legitimized oppression and the memory of its victims. Reading the Holocaust narratives embedded in Total Recall reveals a story of inhumanity so far reaching that it transforms Paretsky's local Chicago crimescape into a global epic.","PeriodicalId":41533,"journal":{"name":"Studies in American Jewish Literature","volume":"41 1","pages":"144 - 164"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49174230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through an analysis of Haddish's 2019 Netflix special, Black Mitzvah, this paper first traces the stylistic and aesthetic methods that connect Haddish's comedy with that of her Jewish peers (both historical and contemporaneous) and then considers the areas where Haddish breaks new ground in her assertion of a non-paradigmatic Jewish identity that is simultaneously embraced and othered within popular culture at large. The paper then transitions into a larger discussion of the ways in which Haddish's work challenges how popular culture \"expects\" Jewish identity to manifest itself; her double visibility both as a Black woman and as a Jewish woman destabilizes the hegemonic understanding of Jewishness as homogenously white and Ashkenazic. Perhaps more importantly, Haddish acts as an important case study of the shifting demographics of Jewish visibility within American popular culture, and consequently, the critical and popular response to her work demonstrates the contradictory role that popular culture—and comedy specifically—plays in confirming and subverting stereotypes.","PeriodicalId":41533,"journal":{"name":"Studies in American Jewish Literature","volume":"41 1","pages":"165 - 184"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49019516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
