Sommario/riassunto

With its sharp focus on stardom during the 1920's, Idols of Modernity



reveals strong connections and dissonances in matters of storytelling and performance that can be traced both backward and forward, across Europe, Asia, and the United States, from the silent era into the emergence of sound. Bringing together the best new work on cinema and stardom in the 1920's, this illustrated collection showcases the range of complex social, institutional, and aesthetic issues at work in American cinema of this time. Attentive to stardom as an ensemble of texts, contexts, and social phenomena stretching beyond the cinema, major scholars provide careful analysis of the careers of both well-known and now forgotten stars of the silent and early sound era-Douglas Fairbanks, Buster Keaton, the Talmadge sisters, Rudolph Valentino, Gloria Swanson, Clara Bow, Colleen Moore, Greta Garbo, Anna May Wong, Emil Jannings, Al Jolson, Ernest Morrison, Noble Johnson, Evelyn Preer, Lincoln Perry, and Marie Dressler.

Exponential Stability for Nonlinear Thermoelastic Equations with Second Sound -- Energy Decay and Global Attractors for A Timoshenko-type System with A Past History -- Stability for A Timoshenko-Type System with A Past History -- Global Existence of Solutions for the Thermoelastic Bresse System -- Stability and Global Attractors for Thermoelastic Bresse System -- Global Existence and Exponential Stabilization for the Higher-Dimensional Linear Thermoelastic System of Type III -- Global Existence for the Three-Dimensional Thermoelastic Equations of Type II -- Global Attractors for Thermoelastic Plates with Memory -- Energy Decay and Global Attractors for Thermoviscoelastic Systems -- Global Existence of Solutions for a Nonlinear Thermoviscoelastic Equation with Non-Monotone Pressure.

Sommario/riassunto

This book presents recent findings on the global existence, the uniqueness and the large-time behavior of global solutions of thermo(vis)coelastic systems and related models arising in physics, mechanics and materials science such as thermoviscoelastic systems, thermoelastic systems of types II and III, as well as Timoshenko-type



systems with past history. Part of the book is based on the research conducted by the authors and their collaborators in recent years. The book will benefit interested beginners in the field and experts alike.
