The paper is the analysis of Deadwood, a TV series that was made from 2004 to 2006 by HBO. The author studies the show closely in the context of conceptions of social contract which have been developed, among others, by John Locke and Thomas Hobbes. He also tries to answer the question why this great social experiment, which was the creation of the USA (and Deadwood is a metaphor of this experiment), failed. The text analyzes the behavior of Deadwood’s inhabitants at the moment that the society of the newly founded American town is being organized. Following this example, some generalizations are made and questions posed about the social contract as an idea and the author tries to answer the question of why it seems to be a utopian idea.

Over recent years, the use of corpora in stylistic analysis has grown in popularity. However, questions still remain over the remit of corpus stylistics, its distinction from corpus linguistics generally and its capacity to explain complex stylistic effects. This article argues in favour of an integrated corpus stylistics; that is, an approach to corpus stylistics that integrates it with other stylistic methods and analytical frameworks. I suggest that this approach is needed for two main reasons: (i) it is analytically necessary in order to fully explain stylistic effects in texts, and (ii) integrating corpus methods with other stylistic tools is what will distinguish corpus stylistics from corpus linguistics. My argument is supported by reference to examples from Mark Haddon’s no vel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time and the HBO TV series Deadwood. Both these examples rely for their explanation on a combination of corpus stylistic analytical techniques and other stylistic methods of analysis.
