Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The iconic images of Uncle Sam and Marilyn Monroe, or the "fireside chats" of Franklin D. Roosevelt and the oratory of Martin Luther King, Jr.: these are the words, images, and sounds that populate American cultural history. From the Boston Tea Party to the Dodgers, from the blues to Andy Warhol, dime novels to Disneyland, the history of American culture tells us how previous generations of Americans have imagined themselves, their nation, and their relationship to the world and its peoples.

In doing so, it emphasizes the historic role of culture in relation to broader social, political, and economic developments. Across the lines of race, class, gender, and sexuality, as well as language, region, and religion, diverse Americans have forged a national culture with a global reach, inventing stories that have shaped a national identity and an American way of life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the nineteenth century the USA has served as an international model for business, lifestyle and sporting success. Yet whilst the language of sport seems to be universal, American sports culture remains highly distinctive. Why is this so? How should we understand American sport? What can we learn about America by analyzing its sports culture? Understanding American Sports offers discussion and critical analysis of the everyday sporting and leisure activities of ‘ordinary’ Americans as well as the ‘big three’ (football, baseball, basketball), and elite sports heroes. Throughout the book, the development of American sport is linked to political, social, gender and economic issues, as well as the orientations and cultures of the multilayered American society with its manifold regional, ethnic, social, and gendered diversities. Topics covered include: American college sports the influence of immigrant populations the unique status of American football the emergence of women’s sport in the USA With co-authors from either side of the Atlantic, Understanding American Sports uses both the outsider’s perspective and that of the insider to explain American sports culture. With its extensive use of examples and illustrations, this is an engrossing and informative resource for all students of sports studies and American culture.

Download or read book The Naturalistic Novel of the New World written by João Sedycias and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sedycias fills a significant gap in his comparative study of three major works: Stephen Crane's Maggie: A Girl of the Streets (American), Aluisio Azevedo's O cortico (Brazilian), and Federico Gamboa's Santa (Mexican). Sedycias investigates certain aspects of discontinuity between European naturalistic ideology and literary practices in the New World. He considers questions of cultural and religious backgrounds and also employs Rene Girard's theory of mimetic desire. All three works share an important common denominator: they present a prostitute as a major character and Sedycias examines attitudes towards the "fallen woman", desire, and religious salvation with this theme. Plot, structure and language provide traditional modes of comparative study (Sedycias translates all languages in the book himself) while the author questions the general assumptions regarding naturalistic literature and draws his conclusions regarding similarities and individual components of each work. Contents: I. The Prostitute in New World Naturalistic Ficiton: 1. Stephen Crane's Maggie: The Fallen woman as Religious Allegory; 2. Aluisio Azevedo's Representation of the Prostitute in O cortico; 3. Beyond Naturalism: Frederico Gamboa and the Mexican background of Santa; II. A Girardian Exegesis of the "Roman Experimental": 4. Rene Girard and the Concept of Mimetic Desire; 5. Memesis and Crisis in Maggie; 6. Violent Symmetries: Self and Other in O cortico; 7. Federico Gamboa as Geometrician of Desire; III. Conclusions: 8. Cultural Perspectives in New World Naturalistic Fiction; 9. Mimetic Desire and the Naturalistic Novel.

This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Race, Representation & Photography in 19th-Century Memphis: from Slavery to Jim Crow presents a rich interpretation of African American visual culture. Using Victorian era photographs, engravings, and pictorial illustrations from local and national archives, this unique study examines intersections of race and image within the context of early African American communities. It emphasizes black agency, looking at how African Americans in Memphis manipulated the power of photography in the creation of free identities. Blacks are at the center of a study that brings to light how wide-ranging practices of photography were linked to racialized experiences in the American south following the Civil War. Jenkins' book connects the social history of photography with the fields of visual culture, art history, southern studies, gender, and critical race studies.
