 Alloys American Sculpture and Architecture at Midcentury【電子書籍】[ Marin R. Sullivan ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞A new look at the interrelationship of architecture and sculpture during one of the richest periods of American modern design＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Alloys＜/em＞ looks at a unique period of synergy and exchange in the postwar United States, when sculpture profoundly shaped architecture, and vice versa. Leading architects such as Gordon Bunshaft and Eero Saarinen turned to sculptors including Harry Bertoia, Alexander Calder, Richard Lippold, and Isamu Noguchi to produce site-determined, large-scale sculptures tailored for their buildings’ highly visible and well-traversed threshold spaces. The parameters of these spacesーatriums, lobbies, plazas, and entrywaysーled to various designs like sculptural walls, ceilings, and screens that not only embraced new industrial materials and processes, but also demonstrated art’s ability to merge with lived architectural spaces.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Marin Sullivan argues that these sculptural commissions represent an alternate history of midcentury American art. Rather than singular masterworks by lone geniuses, some of the era’s most notable spacesーPhilip Johnson’s Four Seasons Restaurant in Mies van der Rohe’s Seagram Building, Max Abramovitz’s Philharmonic Hall at Lincoln Center, and Pietro Belluschi and Walter Gropius’s Pan Am Buildingーwould be diminished without the collaborative efforts of architects and artists. At the same time, the artistic creations within these spaces could not exist anywhere else. Sullivan shows that the principle of synergy provides an ideal framework to assess this pronounced relationship between sculpture and architecture. She also explores the afterlives of these postwar commissions in the decades since their construction.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A fresh consideration of sculpture’s relationship to architectural design and functionality following World War II, ＜em＞Alloys＜/em＞ highlights the affinities between the two fields and the ways their connections remain with us today.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 6,730円 |

 Navigating the Tension Between Sovereignty and Self-Determination in Postcolonial Africa Blueprints for the Midcentury【電子書籍】[ Philip C. Aka ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This book addresses the unique challenges faced by Africa regarding peaceful self-determination. Unlike other regions, Africa has seen limited success in nonviolent self-determination campaigns. Since 1989, only three African nations - Namibia, Eritrea, and South Sudan - have joined the UN after enduring prolonged and violent struggles for independence. In a world characterized by constant change, border alterations typically require armed conflicts in postcolonial Africa.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In response to this disconcerting trend, the book offers pragmatic blueprints for achieving peace, emphasizing constitutional approaches to navigate the delicate balance between sovereignty and self-determination. The work delves into the complexities of five self-determination struggles spanning three African countries, providing valuable insights into the challenges faced. It distils six critical lessons from these case studies and presents fourteen blueprint proposals tailored to address the unique dynamics of postcolonial Africa, where reconciling sovereignty and self-determination remains a pressing concern.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 15,800円 |

Kaveh Askari examines film circulation and its effect on Iranian film culture in the period before foreign studios established official distribution channels and Iran became a notable site of world cinema. This transcultural history draws on cross-archival comparison of films, distributor memos, licensing contracts, advertising schemes, and audio recordings. Askari meticulously tracks the fragile and sometimes forgotten material of film as it circulated through the Middle East into Iran and shows how this material was rerouted, reengineered, and reimagined in the process.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 3,968円 |

 The Mourning After Loss and Longing among Midcentury American Men【電子書籍】[ John Ibson ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞On the battlefields of World War II, with their fellow soldiers as the only shield between life and death, a generation of American men found themselves connecting with each other in new and profound ways. Back home after the war, however, these intimacies faced both scorn and vicious homophobia. ＜em＞The Mourning After＜/em＞ makes sense of this cruel irony, telling the story of the unmeasured toll exacted upon generations of male friendships. John Ibson draws evidence from the contrasting views of male closeness depicted in WWII-era fiction by Gore Vidal and John Horne Burns, as well as from such wide-ranging sources as psychiatry texts, child development books, the memoirs of veterans’ children, and a slew of vernacular snapshots of happy male couples. In this sweeping reinterpretation of the postwar years, Ibson argues that a prolonged mourning for tenderness lost lay at the core of midcentury American masculinity, leaving far too many men with an unspoken ache that continued long after the fighting stopped, forever damaging their relationships with their wives, their children, and each other.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 4,059円 |

 Designed for Success Better Living and Self-Improvement with Midcentury Instructional Records【電子書籍】[ Janet Borgerson ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞A charmingly illustrated history of midcentury instructional records and their untold contribution to the American narrative of self-improvement, aspiration, and success.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞For the midcentury Americans who wished to better their golf game through hypnosis, teach their parakeet to talk, or achieve sexual harmony in their marriage, the answers lay no further than the record player. In ＜em＞Designed for Success＜/em＞, Janet Borgerson and Jonathan Schroeder shed light on these endearingly earnest albums that contributed to a powerful American vision of personal success. Rescued from charity shops, record store cast-off bins, or forgotten boxes in attics and basements, these educational records reveal the American consumers’ rich but sometimes surprising relationship to advertising, self-help, identity construction, and even aspects of transcendentalist thought.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Relegated to obscurity and novelty, instructional records such as ＜em＞Secrets of Successful Varmint Calling, You Be a Disc Jockey＜/em＞, and ＜em＞How to Ski (A Living-Room Guide for Beginners)＜/em＞ offer distinct insights into midcentury media production and consumption. Tracing the history of instructional records from the inception of the recording industry to the height of their popularity, Borgerson and Schroeder offer close readings of the abundant topics covered by “designed for success” records. Complemented by over a hundred full-color illustrations, ＜em＞Designed for Success＜/em＞ is a wonderfully nostalgic tour that showcases the essential role these vinyl records played as an unappreciated precursor to contemporary do-it-yourself culture and modern conceptions of self-improvement.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 4,268円 |
 Culture Writing Literature and Anthropology in the Midcentury Atlantic World【電子書籍】[ Tim Watson ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Focusing on the 1950s and early 1960s, ＜em＞Culture Writing＜/em＞ argues that this period in Britain, the United States, France, and the Caribbean was characterized by dynamic exchanges between literary writers and anthropologists on both sides of the Atlantic. As the British and French empires collapsed and the United States rose to global power in the early Cold War, and as intellectuals from the decolonizing world challenged the cultural hegemony of the West, some anthropologists began to assess their discipline's complicity with empire and experimented with literary forms and technique. ＜em＞Culture Writing＜/em＞ shows that the "literary turn" in anthropology took place earlier than has conventionally been assumed, in the 1950s rather than the 1970s and 80s. Simultaneously, some literary writers reacted to the end of the period of modernist experimentation by turning to ethnographic methods for representing the people and cultural practices of Britain, France, and the United States, bringing anthropology back home. There is analysis of literary writers who had a significant professional engagement with anthropology and brought some of its techniques and research questions into literary composition: Barbara Pym (Britain), Ursula Le Guin and Saul Bellow (United States), ?douard Glissant (Martinique), and Michel Leiris (France). On the side of ethnography, the book analyzes works by anthropologists who either explicitly or surreptitiously adopted literary forms for their writing about culture: Laura Bohannan (United States), Michel Leiris and Claude L?vi-Strauss (France), and Mary Douglas (Britain). ＜em＞Culture Writing＜/em＞ concludes with an epilogue that shows how the literature-anthropology conversation continues into the postcolonial period in the work of Indian author-anthropologist Amitav Ghosh and Jamaican author-sociologist Erna Brodber.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 13,619円 |

 The Midcentury Kitchen: America's Favorite Room, from Workspace to Dreamscape, 1940s-1970s【電子書籍】[ Sarah Archer ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞"A refreshing retro-kitchen history" ーFlorence Fabricant, ＜em＞The New York Times＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Nearly everyone alive today has experienced cozy, welcoming kitchens packed with conveniences that we now take for granted. Sarah Archer, in this delightful romp through a simpler time, shows us how the prosperity of the 1950s kicked off the technological and design ideals of today’s kitchen. In fact, while contemporary appliances might look a little different and work a little better than those of the 1950s, the midcentury kitchen has yet to be improved upon.＜/p＞ ＜p＞During the optimistic consumerism of midcentury America when families were ready to put their newfound prosperity on display, companies from General Electric to Pyrex to Betty Crocker were there to usher them into a new era. Counter heights were standardized, appliances were designed in fashionable colors, and convenience foods took over families’ plates.＜/p＞ ＜p＞With archival photographs, advertisements, magazine pages, and movie stills, ＜em＞The Midcentury Kitchen＜/em＞ captures the spirit of an eraーand a roomーwhere anything seemed possible.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 2,665円 |
 The Problem of the Future World W. E. B. Du Bois and the Race Concept at Midcentury【電子書籍】[ Eric Porter ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜em＞The Problem of the Future World＜/em＞ is a compelling reassessment of the later writings of the iconic African American activist and intellectual W. E. B. Du Bois. As Eric Porter points out, despite the outpouring of scholarship devoted to Du Bois, the broad range of writing he produced during the 1940s and early 1950s has not been thoroughly examined in its historical context, nor has sufficient attention been paid to the theoretical interventions he made during those years. Porter locates Du Bois’s later work in relation to what he calls “the first postracial moment.” He suggests that Du Bois’s midcentury writings are so distinctive and so relevant for contemporary scholarship because they were attuned to the shape-shifting character of modern racism, and in particular to the ways that discredited racial taxonomies remained embedded and in force in existing political-economic arrangements at both the local and global levels. Porter moves the conversation about Du Bois and race forward by building on existing work about the theorist, systematically examining his later writings, and looking at them from new perspectives, partly by drawing on recent scholarship on race, neoliberalism, and empire. ＜em＞The Problem of the Future World＜/em＞ shows how Du Bois’s later writings help to address race and racism as protean, global phenomena in the present.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 2,880円 |
 Midcentury Suspension Literature and Feeling in the Wake of World War II【電子書籍】[ Claire Seiler ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞How did literary artists confront the middle of a century already defined by two global wars and newly faced with a nuclear future? ＜em＞Midcentury Suspension＜/em＞ argues that a sense of suspensionーa feeling of being between beginnings and endings, recent horrors and opaque horizonsーshaped transatlantic literary forms and cultural expression in this singular moment.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Rooted in extensive archival research in literary, print, and public cultures of the Anglophone North Atlantic, Claire Seiler’s account of midcentury suspension ranges across key works of the late 1940s and early 1950s by authors such as W. H. Auden, Samuel Beckett, Elizabeth Bishop, Elizabeth Bowen, Ralph Ellison, and Frank O’Hara. Seiler reveals how these writers cultivated modes of suspension that spoke to the felt texture of life at midcentury. Running counter to the tendency to frame midcentury literature in the terms of modernism or of our contemporary, ＜em＞Midcentury Suspension＜/em＞ reorients twentieth-century literary study around the epoch’s fraught middle.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 3,204円 |
 From Power to Prejudice The Rise of Racial Individualism in Midcentury America【電子書籍】[ Leah N. Gordon ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Americans believe strongly in the socially transformative power of education, and the idea that we can challenge racial injustice by reducing white prejudice has long been a core component of this faith. How did we get here? In this first-rate intellectual history, Leah N. Gordon jumps into this and other big questions about race, power, and social justice.＜br /＞ To answer these questions, ＜em＞From Power to Prejudice＜/em＞ examines American academiaーboth black and whiteーin the 1940s and ’50s. Gordon presents four competing visions of “the race problem” and documents how an individualistic paradigm, which presented white attitudes as the source of racial injustice, gained traction. A number of factors, Gordon shows, explain racial individualism’s postwar influence: individuals were easier to measure than social forces; psychology was well funded; studying political economy was difficult amid McCarthyism; and individualism was useful in legal attacks on segregation. Highlighting vigorous midcentury debate over the meanings of racial justice and equality, ＜em＞From Power to Prejudice＜/em＞ reveals how one particular vision of social justice won out among many contenders.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 3,168円 |
 Midcentury Miscreant【電子書籍】[ Steve D Boilard ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In the second half of the last century, a morally-compromised, self-absorbed miscreant routinely ill-treated his family, his schoolmates, his neighbors, and others unfortunate enough to encounter him. Of course, he didn't see it that way; to him, he was simply tending to his own interests. He felt no more concern for the effect of his actions upon others than a gopher might feel toward a manicured golf course. This uncaring attitude threatened to metastasize into bona fide sociopathy until a traumatic personal tragedy forced an overdue personal reckoning. Not only did he come to recognize his iniquity, but he discovered a crucial, life-altering verity about life's purpose.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This memoir traces the making and redemption of a miscreant. It's a meditation not just on one person's experience but also on universal themes of family, friendship, and humanity. Recounted with sincerity, sentiment, and self-deprecating humor, ＜em＞Midcentury Miscreant＜/em＞ tells an entertaining life story and offers a soul-searching contemplation on human relationships. It's ultimately a heartwarming tale of hope that is especially welcome amid the antagonism and divisiveness that characterize our current times.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 360円 |
 Think Tank Aesthetics Midcentury Modernism, the Cold War, and the Neoliberal Present【電子書籍】[ Pamela M. Lee ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞How the approaches and methods of think tanksーincluding systems theory, operational research, and cyberneticsーpaved the way for a peculiar genre of midcentury modernism.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞Think Tank Aesthetics＜/em＞, Pamela Lee traces the complex encounters between Cold War think tanks and the art of that era. Lee shows how the approaches and methods of think tanksーincluding systems theory, operations research, and cyberneticsーpaved the way for a peculiar genre of midcentury modernism and set the terms for contemporary neoliberalism. Lee casts these shadowy institutions as sites of radical creativity and interdisciplinary practice in the service of defense strategy. Describing the distinctive aesthetics that emerged from such institutions as the RAND Corporation, she maps the multiple and overlapping networks that connected nuclear strategists, mathematicians, economists, anthropologists, artists, designers, and art historians.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Lee recounts, among other things, the decades-long colloquy between Albert Wohlstetter, a RAND analyst, and his former professor, the famous art historian Meyer Schapiro; the anthropologist Margaret Mead's deployment of innovative visual aids that recall midcentury abstract art; and the combination of cybernetics and modernist design in an “Opsroom” for the short-lived socialist government of Salvador Allende in 1970s Chile (and its restaging many years later as a work of art). Lee suggests that we think of these connections less as disciplinary border crossings than as colonization of the specific interests of arts by the approaches and methods of the sciences. Hearing the echoes of think tank aesthetics in today's pursuit of the interdisciplinary and in academia's science-infused justification of the humanities, Lee wonders what territory has been ceded in a laboratory approach to the arts.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 3,738円 |
 Queer Arrangements Billy Strayhorn and Midcentury Jazz Collaboration【電子書籍】[ Lisa Barg ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The legacy of Black queer composer, arranger, and pianist Billy Strayhorn (1915?1967) hovers at the edge of canonical jazz narratives. ＜em＞Queer Arrangements＜/em＞ explores the ways in which Strayhorn's identity as an openly gay Black jazz musician shaped his career, including the creative roles he could assume and the dynamics between himself and his collaborators, most famously Duke Ellington, but also iconic singers such as Lena Horne and Ella Fitzgerald. This new portrait of Strayhorn combines critical, historically-situated close readings of selected recordings, scores, and performances with biography and cultural theory to pursue alternative interpretive jazz possibilities, Black queer historical routes, and sounds. By looking at jazz history through the instrument(s) of Strayhorn's queer arrangements, this book sheds new light on his music and on jazz collaboration at midcentury.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 2,136円 |
 The Short Story in Midcentury America Countercultural Form in the Work of Bowles, McCarthy, Welty, and Williams【電子書籍】[ Sam V. H. Reese ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜em＞The Short Story in Midcentury America＜/em＞ provides in-depth case studies of four major writers of the post?World War II eraーPaul Bowles, Mary McCarthy, Eudora Welty, and Tennessee Williamsーexamining how they used the contained aesthetics of short fiction to map out an oppositional stance to the dominant narratives, both political and literary, of mid-twentieth century U.S. culture.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Sam V. H. Reese presents a new understanding of the connections between politics, ideology, and literary form, arguing that writers employed the short story to critique the cultural mores of the early Cold War. The four authors under discussion found themselves socially marginalized by mainstream U.S. culture due to such factors as their gender, sexual orientation, religion, and foreign residence. Reese shows that each author embraced the short story’s compressed form as a means of resisting political coercion and conformity, speaking out in support of freedom and open expression.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Reese argues that these four writers used the formal restrictions of the short story to develop a type of fiction that became recognizably countercultural, challenging the expansive, sprawling novels then receiving acclaim from critics. His analysis underscores the means by which each author’s short stories utilized the aesthetic practices of mediums outside conventional narrative fiction: Bowles’s career as a composer, McCarthy’s criticism and memoirs, Williams’s playwriting, and Welty’s photography. By studying both their prose and its conceptualization, Reese reveals how writers resisted the political and stylistic pressures that defined U.S. literary culture in the early years of the Cold War.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞The Short Story in Midcentury America＜/em＞, Reese establishes a new framework for considering countercultural literature in the United States, reassessing the critical standing of the short story and re-evaluating the relationship between marginal social positions and literary form during the mid-twentieth century.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 2,265円 |

 Midcentury Suspension Literature and Feeling in the Wake of World War II【電子書籍】[ Claire Seiler ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞How did literary artists confront the middle of a century already defined by two global wars and newly faced with a nuclear future? ＜em＞Midcentury Suspension＜/em＞ argues that a sense of suspensionーa feeling of being between beginnings and endings, recent horrors and opaque horizonsーshaped transatlantic literary forms and cultural expression in this singular moment.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Rooted in extensive archival research in literary, print, and public cultures of the Anglophone North Atlantic, Claire Seiler’s account of midcentury suspension ranges across key works of the late 1940s and early 1950s by authors such as W. H. Auden, Samuel Beckett, Elizabeth Bishop, Elizabeth Bowen, Ralph Ellison, and Frank O’Hara. Seiler reveals how these writers cultivated modes of suspension that spoke to the felt texture of life at midcentury. Running counter to the tendency to frame midcentury literature in the terms of modernism or of our contemporary, ＜em＞Midcentury Suspension＜/em＞ reorients twentieth-century literary study around the epoch’s fraught middle.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 3,405円 |

She, too, was a tenured professor; she's been a mother, a dancer, an activist, a householder, and an early expert in "gig work" and "code-switching" before either term was coined. In "Don't Play Like a Girl: A Midcentury Woman Leaps Into Life," Gamson tells the story of how she forged her own path even when her choices were limited and her way unclear. From getting pepper-sprayed at a Vietnam War protest to being drugged without her consent during the birth of her first child to finding her bliss alone on an island, Gamson shares a funny, harrowing, lively tale with an intimate perspective on universal questions. How can we give to others while still holding onto our essential selves? What should young women now understand about how quickly their right to self-determination can vanish? How do we live with joy amidst turmoil? Wise and warm, "Don't Play Like a Girl" offers a relevant, instructive vision for a contemporary world that demands unprecedented improvisation. People of her generation and her fellow academics, activists, and fun-lovers will return to their youth with Zelda Gamson.

 Unseen Midcentury Desert Modern【電子書籍】[ Daniel Chavkin ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In 2008, Daniel Chavkin began photographing some of the more discreet and off-the-beaten-path midcentury modern homes and buildings in the Palm Springs area. These included secret gems created by such famous modernist architects as William Cody and John Porter Clark, as well as others by relatively lesser-known designers. The result is this rich photographic collection of largely unseen examples of desert modern architecture.

He began his career shooting celebrity portraits, but his passion is for midcentury modern architectureーand especially the desert modernism of Palm Springs.
