American Sweethearts by Ilana Nash Pdf

Teenage girls seem to have been discovered by American pop culture in the 1930s. From that time until the present day, they have appeared in books and films, comics and television, as the embodied fantasies and nightmares of youth, women, and sexual maturation. Looking at such figures as Nancy Drew, Judy Graves, Corliss Archer, Gidget, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Britney Spears, American Sweethearts shows how popular culture has shaped our view of the adolescent girl as an individual who is simultaneously sexualized and infantilized. While young women have received some positive lessons from these cultural icons, the overwhelming message conveyed by the characters and stories they inhabit stresses the dominance of the father and the teenage girl's otherness, subordination, and ineptitude. As sweet as a cherry lollipop and as tangy as a Sweetart, this book is an entertaining yet thoughtful exploration of the image of the American girl.

Pop Twenty by Robert Birchard Pdf

The POP TWENTY adventure continues with installment #2, another in this new series of books devoted to 20th Century popular culture. Michael (Universal Studios Monsters: A Legacy of Horror) Mallory has written: "POP TWENTY is a true blast to the past . . . a real throwback to the 1960s and 1970s, when film journalism itself launched its own Golden Age . . . [the authors] have done their research to the nth degree, they love their subjects, and they know what they're talking about . . . each of the articles presents meticulously researched information that hasn't been seen anywhere else." Exploring our shared memories of classic movies, early TV, old time radio, and popular music, POP TWENTY #2 is richly illustrated with over 170 rare, often never-before-published, photos that bring the stories to life. POP TWENTY #2 offers pieces about the golden age of television as remembered in a newly unearthed 1970s interview with Steve Allen; an overview by "British Invader" Ian Whitcomb of Tin Pan Alley during the Great War and how propaganda, patriotism, and pianos made for such a lovely war; the forgotten story of would-be movie mogul Thomas C. Regan--whose lost silent movie studio still stands built even though it never completed or released a single film; and Dorothy Lee's memories of working with Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey. Also on hand is an in-depth look at NBC's first leap into the future with their inaugural 1936 television broadcast; a look at how publicity helped Paramount profit from The Ten Commandments, and chapter one of The Adventures of Francis Ford and Grace Cunard, creators of Universal' first movie serial! You've got a ticket to ride the nostalgia train with POP TWENTY # 2. All aboard!

Pop Twenty by Robert S. Birchard,VARIOS AUTORES,Michael J. Bifulco,Jim Dawson,Elizabeth McLeod,Nick Santa Maria Pdf

POP TWENTY #1 is the first in a series of books devoted to 20th Century popular culture, and it offers much more than nostalgia "once over lightly." Reported by top-flight writers who are experts at exploring our shared memories of classic movies, early TV, old time radio, and pop music, POP TWENTY #1 is also richly illustrated with over 140 rare, often never-before-published, photos that bring the stories to life. In its inaugural edition, POP TWENTY includes pieces about the unforgettable 1933 film musical FOOTLIGHT PARADE starring James Cagney, Ruby Keeler and Dick Powell with dance numbers staged by the legendary Busby Berkeley (Did you know that Berkeley did not direct all the film's musical ensembles?); the chaotic behind-the-mike story of the founding of the CBS Radio Network (Despite the legend, William S. Paley had nothing to do with it!); a speculation on how James Dean became an icon of rock 'n' roll even though he probably never heard a genuine rock record (The forgotten story of Dean's brief encounter with "Crazy, Man, Crazy" by Buddy Holly); a behind the scenes look at the popular 1950s TV series, I MARRIED JOAN (In which Joan Davis went head-to-head with Lucille Ball and I LOVE LUCY); and an inside the park tour of Old Tucson, the famed Arizona movie ranch (Well-captured on film, but laid waste by an unknown arsonist). Also inside the pages of POP TWENTY #1 are profiles of several well-known early movie memorabilia collectors, an investigation of the strange case of comedian Charley Chase, and contract summaries of top Hollywood stars and directors like Rudolph Valentino, Gloria Swanson, Allan Dwan and Ernst Lubitsch. If you're a fan of the golden age of Show Business, POP TWENTY is for you.

Transnational Convergence of East Asian Pop Culture by Seok-Kyeong Hong,Dal Yong Jin Pdf

This book observes and analyzes transnational interactions of East Asian pop culture and current cultural practices, comparing them to the production and consumption of Western popular culture and providing a theoretical discussion regarding the specific paradigm of East Asian pop culture. Drawing on innovative theoretical perspectives and grounded empirical research, an international team of authors consider the history of transnational flows within pop culture and then systematically address pop culture,digital technologies, and the media industry. Chapters cover the Hallyu—or Korean Wave—phenomenon, as well as Japanese and Chinese cultural industries. Throughout the book, the authors address the convergence of the once-separated practical, industrial, and business aspects of popular culture under the influence of digital culture. They further coherently synthesize a vast collection of research to examine the specific realities and practices of consumers that exist beyond regional boundaries, shared cultural identities, and historical constructs. This book will be of interest to academic researchers, undergraduates, and graduate students of Asian media, media studies, communication studies, cultural studies, transcultural communication, or sociology.
