Rustics and Politics

The Political Theory of The Beverly Hillbillies

By: Leslie Dale Feldman

The Beverly Hillbillies includes the portrayal of rich versus poor, the American dream, wealth, and social mobility in popular culture. The Hillbillies was a phenomenon of post-World War II America, the second wave after the 1950s, the dustbelt Depression meets the promise of opportunity achieved through luck. Luck counts in liberal society. It is, said Machiavelli, “the arbiter of half of what we do.” But is success based on luck really the American dream? And who is the bigger success story—the Hillbillies or those who have earned their wealth? Whom do we want to be or be like? Everyone wants to win the lottery, but is everyone willing to do what it takes to achieve financial independence without winning the lottery? Does winning the lottery bring social status or can it only be achieved by labor? In sum, Paul Henning’s brilliant comedy series The Beverly Hillbillies is replete with political ideas and has come to occupy a special place in popular culture as a classic television icon because of its deeper meaning and relationship to how we think about wealth, status, social mobility and the American dream.

The Political Theory of I Love Lucy

Speed It Up!

By: Leslie Dale Feldman

This book looks at how the classic television series fits into the cultural milieu of mid-century America. I Love Lucy incorporates key themes of the 1950s American political scene and classic American values of family, social mobility, community, individualism and work, keeping in mind that “Luck” as Machiavelli said “is the arbiter of half of what we do.” As the beloved American TV queen, Lucy Ricardo is a psychologically complicated character, conflicted between her role as a 1950s housewife and her wish to be a star. She is an icon of social mobility, going from a small New York City apartment to a country house in a swanky suburb, and an example of the “transitional” woman who wants to have it all. Is she a feminist? Is she a conformist? Does she prefer the country to the city? Whether she is working on the chocolate factory assembly line, baking bread, or achieving the American dream, Lucy is always “speeding it up!”

Spaceships and Politics

The Political Theory of Rod Serling

By: Leslie Dale Feldman

Spaceships and Politics: The Political Theory of Rod Serling examines the political themes in The Twilight Zone. In this unique show, Rod Serling used fantasy and the supernatural to explore political ideas such as capital punishment, the individual and the state, war, conformity, the state of nature, prejudice, and alienation. He used aliens and machines to understand human nature. This book looks at Serling's mechanistic view of the world and emphasis on fear through Hobbesian themes like diffidence and automata.

Freedom as Motion

By: Leslie Dale Feldman

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Freedom as Motion

By: Leslie Dale Feldman

In Freedom as Motion, Leslie Dale Feldman explores the American concepts of freedom, individualism, and liberal culture and how they are closely tied to Thomas Hobbes' notion of free movement. In chapter XXI of Leviathan, Hobbes describes freedom as 'the absence of opposition' to motion. This idea of freedom as motion has flourished in America where the emphasis on individualism is greatest. Feldman explores the evolution of this concept through Western and American history, and also the theoretical connection that exists in reality at the level of simple daily life. Hobbes' theory of freedom as motion becomes the central metaphor of liberalism and forms the basis for the American conception of freedom today. This book will prove thought-provoking to students of Western and American Political Theory, as well as students of American History and Culture.
