Mad Men utilises television, quotes, and contemplates and negotiates its role to the extent that the show is also about television, mediating it as diegetic and non-diegetic, within and without, deliberately returning to the medium’s early days in memory and celebration of itself and its origin while making full use of the various media platforms that it has at its disposal today to promote itself and construct itself as nostalgic object of desire. Part of a television experience that fetishizes the materiality of authentic objects the show constructs a mise-en-abyme of longing and nostalgia that positions the television set at its very centre. This article will trace the role of television in AMC’s Mad Men (2007-15). It will examine the medium’s developing role in modern life and the way it is used to integrate the show’s narrative within a wider sense of history. Moreover, it will contemplate the construction of the medium both within the diegetic reality of the show and as framing it, as authentic period prop, and as fetishized nostalgia object which is itself again framed and distributed by television.

The arrival of television into the British home in the post-war period coincided with rising standards of comfort, provided by utilities such as gas and electricity and the devices that they powered. Television, in its capacity as a broadcast medium, was another utility flowing into the post-war home, providing domestic leisure. This article will explore how the material image of the television set became emblematic of the modern, leisure-based home, examining how it was used, in conjunction with gas and electricity, to construct an idealized comfortable home. This relationship was promoted in lifestyle magazines, advertisements, design publications and exhibitions. I will argue that from this relationship an idealized television lifestyle emerged, based around comfort and leisure, which was used to promote the consumption of gas and electricity, thus embedding television’s material form in consumer culture. In this way, the article will position the history of television in relation to the other utilities which shaped the home in this period, namely gas and electricity.

Research indicates that deaf children can have marked social difficulties compared with their hearing peers. Factors that influence these social interactions need to be reviewed to inform interventions. A systematic search of 5 key databases and 3 specialized journals identified 14 papers that met the inclusion criteria. Methodological quality of the articles was assessed using an adapted checklist. There was a general lack of consensus across studies. The main factors investigated were the deaf child’s communication competency, age, and level of mainstreaming, which overall were positively associated with peer interactions. Some studies also found that females were more likely to have positive social interactions. The majority of studies were cross-sectional. Some studies lacked appropriate control groups and did not recruit an appropriate range of informants. A wide range of factors were associated with social interactions between deaf and hearing children. The role of communication gained the highest consensus across studies. Other factors were involved in more complex interactions.

This article grounds television historiography within physical places of television, arguing that they function as vantage points that offer raw access into television's past and unearth politicized histories of television. Making use of material culture approaches as interventions within the politics of television history writing, the article treats the Television Centre in Bucharest as a historical record that offers insights into what has been discarded, silenced or taken for granted in the writing of television history under a repressive regime. Looking at how the Television Centre was planned and lobbied for, how it was built, designed and prepared for production and how it accommodated everyday work practices, the article traces how television in communist Romania challenged the politics of the regime and of the nation state.
