The Cute and the Cool: Wondrous Innocence and Modern American Children's Culture
ISBN: 9780195156669 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The twentieth century was, by any reckoning, the age of the child in America. Today, we pay homage at the altar of childhood, heaping endless goods on the young, reveling in memories of a more innocent time, and finding solace in the softly backlit memories of our earliest years.

In images of the naughty but nice Buster Brown and the coquettish but sweet Shirley Temple, Americans at mid-century offered up a fantastic world of treats, toys,...

Men to Boys: The Making of Modern Immaturity
ISBN: 9780231144315 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Adam Sandler movies, HBO's Entourage, and such magazines as Maxim and FHM all trade in and appeal to one character--the modern boy-man. Addicted to video games, comic books, extreme sports, and dressing down, the boy-man would rather devote an afternoon to Grand Theft Auto than plan his next career move. He would rather prolong the hedonistic pleasures of youth than embrace the self-sacrificing demands of adulthood. When did maturity become the ultimate taboo? Men have gone from idolizing Cary Grant to aping Hugh Grant, shunning marriage and responsibility well into...

ISBN: 9780231167598 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. For many of us, modern memory is shaped less by a longing for the social customs and practices of the past or for family heirlooms handed down over generations and more by childhood encounters with ephemeral commercial goods and fleeting media moments in our age of fast capitalism. This phenomenon has given rise to communities of nostalgia whose members remain loyal to the toys, television, and music of their youth. They return to the theme parks and pastimes of their upbringing, hoping to reclaim that feeling of childhood wonder or teenage freedom....

However, by the middle of the century, a new type of park began to emerge, providing well-ordered, squeaky-clean, and carefully orchestrated corporate entertainment.

An All-Consuming Century: Why Commercialism Won in Modern America
ISBN: 9780231113137 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The unqualified victory of consumerism in America was not a foregone conclusion.

But at the dawn of the twenty-first century, not only has American consumerism triumphed, there isn't even an "ism" left to challenge it.
