First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good+ dj. First Edition. [no significant shelfwear to book, but with small rust-stains (from paper clips?) at top and bottom edges of both endpapers; jacket shows light surface wear, with a long vertical wrinkle/crease in rear panel, short closed tear (all but invisible) at lower rear hinge]. A renowned "lady anthropologist who has perfected her investigative technique among primitive cultures" turned her sights on the movie capital, "a place of ritual, a place where the secrets of power are of magical significance, a place where superstition, sex and money mingle, where human values are distorted and sometimes lost." The author did her field work in Tinseltown, under the sponsorship of the Viking Fund, during 1946 and 1947, while she was a part-time visiting professor at UCLA; she describes her research technique at length in the book's introduction, comparing and contrasting it to her earlier work among Pacific South Sea islanders -- at one point evoking the native peoples' classification of the Hollywood movies they'd seen into two categories: "kiss-kiss" and "bang-bang." (Did Pauline Kael credit Powdermaker, I wonder, for supplying her with the title for the second volume of her collected film criticism?) A fascinating read even today, especially in tandem with Leo Rosten's somewhat less rigorous 1941 study "Hollywood: The Movie Colony, the Movie Makers." Uncommon in such nice condition, the thin-paper dust jacket being especially prone to wear and tear.

Includes for example the following chapters: Habitat and People, Mythical and Real / Mass Production of Dreams / Taboos / Front Office / Men Who Play God / Assembling the Script / Acting, in Hollywood / Hollywood and the U.S.A. etc. Hortense Powdermaker (December 24, 1900 June 16, 1970) was an American anthropologist best known for her ethnographic studies of African Americans in rural America and of Hollywood. Born to a Jewish family, Powdermaker spent her childhood in Reading, Pennsylvania, and in Baltimore, Maryland. She studied history and the humanities at Goucher College, graduating in 1921. She worked as a labor organizer for the Amalgamated Clothing Workers but became dissatisfied with the prospects of the U.S. labor movement amid the repression of the Palmer Raids. She left the United States to study at the London School of Economics, where she met the eminent anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski, who convinced her to embark on a course of doctoral studies. While at the LSE, Powdermaker also worked under and was influenced by other well-known anthropologists such as A. R. Radcliffe-Brown, E. E. Evans-Pritchard and Raymond Firth. Powdermaker completed her PhD on "leadership in primitive society" in 1928. Like her contemporaries, Powdermaker sought to identify her anthropological work with a "primitive" people and conducted fieldwork among the Lesu of New Ireland in present-day Papua New Guinea (Life in Lesu: The Study of a Melanesian Society in New Ireland. Williams & Norgate, London 1933). (Wikipedia) Sprache: english.
