Critical hegemony tracing the start of the Second Golden Age of Television to the release of HBO’s The Sopranos in 1999 means that several properties released before that time have flown under the academic radar. Oz (1997-2003), the first serial drama ever produced by HBO, contains all the tightly plotted storytelling and enhanced aesthetics Alexis Pichard defines as key features of Golden Age television, and achieved the required level of popular success with both audiences and critics.

Interest in the philosophical ideas of the Greek and Roman Stoics has burgeoned over the

past three decades, and Stoicism is experiencing a fascinating resurgence into various

facets of U.S. literature and culture. Although this popularity across diverse groups of

readers seems new, Stoicism has had a long if changeable history in the U.S.—from the

Puritan colonial settlers (who brought Stoic texts with them across the Atlantic) and

The world’s steady sloping toward 21st century fascism took an even more precipitous slide with the US electoral victory of Donald Trump in this fall’s election. There is no way to fully capture where different folks are at in their (dis)orientation to this unfolding fascism—physio-psycho- socio-affectio-logically—but feeling grief, rage, numbness, disgust, despair, flattened, scattered, scared, and intermixtures of all these (and many more) are surely in the running as immediate but inadequate visceral descriptors for this moment.

Care can be understood as a situation-based variable with multitudes of meanings. With its initial theoretical footing in western feminist thought, care pervades defined epistemic boundaries; it is fundamentally relational, philosophical, and practical at the same time. We care for things, we care for people, we care for the tangible and intangible. It can be a necessity, a commodity, or even an imposition and yet the limited understanding of care relegates it as a form of dependency. This leads us to a series of structuring questions: Do we care about care itself? Is ethics of care different from caring itself? If yes, why are we not talking about it? More importantly, who decides what and how much to care about something?
