Download or read book The Un-Americans written by Joseph Litvak and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2009-11-25 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a bold rethinking of the Hollywood blacklist and McCarthyite America, Joseph Litvak reveals a political regime that did not end with the 1950s or even with the Cold War: a regime of compulsory sycophancy, in which the good citizen is an informer, ready to denounce anyone who will not play the part of the earnest, patriotic American. While many scholars have noted the anti-Semitism underlying the House Un-American Activities Committee’s (HUAC’s) anti-Communism, Litvak draws on the work of Theodor W. Adorno, Hannah Arendt, Alain Badiou, and Max Horkheimer to show how the committee conflated Jewishness with what he calls “comic cosmopolitanism,” an intolerably seductive happiness, centered in Hollywood and New York, in show business and intellectual circles. He maintains that HUAC took the comic irreverence of the “uncooperative” witnesses as a crime against an American identity based on self-repudiation and the willingness to “name names.” Litvak proposes that sycophancy was (and continues to be) the price exacted for assimilation into mainstream American culture, not just for Jews, but also for homosexuals, immigrants, and other groups deemed threatening to American rectitude. Litvak traces the outlines of comic cosmopolitanism in a series of performances in film and theater and before HUAC, performances by Jewish artists and intellectuals such as Zero Mostel, Judy Holliday, and Abraham Polonsky. At the same time, through an uncompromising analysis of work by informers including Jerome Robbins, Elia Kazan, and Budd Schulberg, he explains the triumph of a stoolpigeon culture that still thrives in the America of the early twenty-first century.
Book Synopsis Portrait of a Young Painter by : Mary Kay Vaughan
Download or read book Portrait of a Young Painter written by Mary Kay Vaughan and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2015-02-16 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Portrait of a Young Painter, the distinguished historian Mary Kay Vaughan adopts a biographical approach to understanding the culture surrounding the Mexico City youth rebellion of the 1960s. Her chronicle of the life of painter Pepe Zúñiga counters a literature that portrays post-1940 Mexican history as a series of uprisings against state repression, injustice, and social neglect that culminated in the student protests of 1968. Rendering Zúñiga's coming of age on the margins of formal politics, Vaughan depicts midcentury Mexico City as a culture of growing prosperity, state largesse, and a vibrant, transnationally-informed public life that produced a multifaceted youth movement brimming with creativity and criticism of convention. In an analysis encompassing the mass media, schools, politics, family, sexuality, neighborhoods, and friendships, she subtly invokes theories of discourse, phenomenology, and affect to examine the formation of Zúñiga's persona in the decades leading up to 1968. By discussing the influences that shaped his worldview, she historicizes the process of subject formation and shows how doing so offers new perspectives on the events of 1968.

Book excerpt: Lee & Romita's classic Spidey strips: part of a complete breakfast! For more than four years, Stan Lee and John Romita helped get every morning started in the funny pages of countless newspapers, sharing the ongoing trials and tribulations of everyman hero Peter Parker - a.k.a. the wondrous wall crawler Spider-Man - with millions of readers who may have never picked up a comic book! Reunited four years after they concluded their classic seven-year run on Amazing Spider-Man, Stan and John didn't miss a beat translating into the strip storytelling format Peter's daily struggle to reconcile his great power with his great responsibility. Syndicated by King Features in 1977, Stan had the strip adventures of Spider-Man occupy a somewhat different continuity than the ongoing monthly stories in Marvel Comics. The strip nonetheless pitted Spidey against a familiar array of foes - such as Doctor Doom, Kraven the Hunter and the Kingpin - but it also invented new characters for Spidey fans to thrill over, including the Rattler! Spidey quickly became one of the most popular daily strips, being syndicated to more than 500 newspapers and earning renown as the longest running of all super hero strips! And now, Marvel is reprinting Stan and John's legendary run! A dream come true for both Spider-Man and newspaper-strip fans!
Book Synopsis The Dispersion of Egyptian Jewry by : Joel Beinin
Download or read book The Dispersion of Egyptian Jewry written by Joel Beinin and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-11-10 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this provocative and wide-ranging history, Joel Beinin examines fundamental questions of ethnic identity by focusing on the Egyptian Jewish community since 1948. A complex and heterogeneous people, Egyptian Jews have become even more diverse as their diaspora continues to the present day. Central to Beinin's study is the question of how people handle multiple identities and loyalties that are dislocated and reformed by turbulent political and cultural processes. It is a question he grapples with himself, and his reflections on his experiences as an American Jew in Israel and Egypt offer a candid, personal perspective on the hazards of marginal identities.
