Abstract

In the article, the author discusses how the television (TV) show "Ted Lasso" satirizes and criticizes the depiction of the gendered American heartland mythos in the media and its relationship to the contradictions of the U.S. imperial-capitalist discourses. Other topics include how regional identities like Heartland tropes reproduce and adapt nationalism and globalized forms of racism in the media.
