The modernism of American culture.America's global cultural impact is largely seen as one-sided, with critics claiming that it has undermined other countries' languages and traditions. But contrary to popular belief, the cultural relationship between the United States and the world has been reciprocal, says Richard Pells. The United States not only plays a large role in shaping international entertainment and tastes, it is also a consumer of foreign intellectual and artistic influences.Pells reveals how the American artists, novelists, composers, jazz musicians, and filmmakers who were part of the Modernist movement were greatly influenced by outside ideas and techniques. People across the globe found familiarities in American entertainment, resulting in a universal culture that has dominated the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and fulfilled the aim of the Modernist movement-to make the modern world seem more intelligible.Modernist America brilliantly explains why George Gershwin's music, Cole Porter's lyrics, Jackson Pollock's paintings, Bob Fosse's choreography, Marlon Brando's acting, and Orson Welles's storytelling were so influential, and why these and other artists and entertainers simultaneously represent both an American and a modern global culture.Art, music, movies, and the globalization of American cultureArts and globalizationUnited StatesArts, American20th centuryModernism (Aesthetics)History20th centuryElectronic books.Arts and globalizationArts, AmericanModernism (Aesthetics)History700.973/0904Pells Richard H141947MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460456703321Modernist America2452568UNINA$26.9507/24/2015Art00946nam a2200241 i 450099100385158970753620020509133226.0980227s1962 ||| ||| | ger b11224307-39ule_instPARLA189753ExLDip.to FilosofiaitagerlatSehrt, Edward Henry456630Notker-Glossar :ein althochdeutsch-lateinisch-neuhochdeutsches Wörterbuch zu Notkers des Deutschen Schriften /von Edward H.

Instead, it is a series of historical stories, at times humorous, about people and places linked by the Mississippi River that inform modern travelers about the Upper Mississippi and its role in our region's history. The stories cover the Upper Mississippi, roughly from Dubuque north to the river's source at Lake Itasca. While most stories focus on Wisconsin, some take place in Iowa, Illinois, and Minnesota. The author, Dennis McCann, has relied on the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium in Dubuque, as well as several seminal histories of people and places along the river, for background and research"--Provided by publisher.FolkloreMississippi River RegionMississippi River RegionHistory, LocalAnecdotesWisconsinHistory, LocalAnecdotesMiddle WestHistory, LocalAnecdotesMississippi River RegionBiographyAnecdotesMississippi River RegionSocial life and customsAnecdotesFolklore398.20977McCann Dennis1950-1694753MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826493603321This storied river4073492UNINA
