Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Worlds Fairs staged in the United States in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries showcased world cultures in peaceful competition and cooperation. But as Astrid Boeger shows in Envisioning the Nation, at the same time the fairs played important roles in the growth of nationalism and American exceptionalism, subtly recasting world history from an American point of view and thus laying the groundwork for American dominance in the twentieth century. Drawing on studies of the fairs architecture, sites, and scientific and cultural displays, as well as contemporaneous literary works that dealt with the fairs, Boeger paints a richly contextualized portrait of these influential spectacles of national culture.

Condition: Neu. Negotiating Popular Culture Between Europe and the United States. Edited by Christof Decker and Astrid Böger. In the 20th and 21st centuries, American media have been continually received, adapted, and transformed by European cultures. Initially based on the competition among the early film industries and continuing with today's global dominance of American web-based companies, these productive exchanges entail complex economic, aesthetic, and cultural negotiations. The dynamic and scope of these negotiations has been ambiguous, ranging from instances of cultural imperialism to the subversion of social and cultural hierarchies. More often than not, they have furthered the exchange of creative ideas and the cross-fertilization of media and art productions. The 13 contributions to this volume highlight core arenas of transnational cultural encounters including photography, film, fashion, advertising, television, and the new media. They ask not merely how American media productions were received in different European cultural contexts but how they shaped the idea of distinct yet interconnected European identities. 271 Seiten mit 9 Abb., gebunden (American Studies - A Monograph Series; Vol. 261/Universitätsverlag Winter 2015).

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Unbekannte Unterschrift / Widmung; Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. "This volume of original essays presents an overview of Popular Culture Studies as an ever-growing branch of American Studies while also reflecting the critical debates driving the field toward a more nuanced approach to contemporary culture more generally. Thus, many of the essays included take fresh perspectives on Black American culture, feminism, multiculturalism, and queer studies, among others, but they also provide critical updates on the global impact of U.S. American popular culture. 0If an understanding of U.S. Culture as Popular Culture in its national and international dimensions is one of the aims behind this publication, another is to conceive of cultural formations against the backdrop of shifting media environments. Placed alongside more traditional media such as literature and film, more recent phenomena including reality television, internet memes, and video games add considerable relevance to the critical appreciation of culture in the twenty-first century"--.…
