Conclusion: A Cautious Culture --Notes --IndexCool. The concept has distinctly American qualities and it permeates almost every aspect of contemporary American culture. From Kool cigarettes and the Peanuts cartoon's Joe Cool to West Side Story (Keep cool, boy.) and urban slang (Be cool. Chill out.), the idea of cool, in its many manifestations, has seized a central place in our vocabulary. Where did this preoccupation with cool come from? How was Victorian culture, seemingly so ensconced, replaced with the current emotional status quo? From whence came American Cool? These are the questions Peter Stearns seeks to answer in this timely and engaging volume. American Cool focuses extensively on the transition decades, from the erosion of Victorianism in the 1920s to the solidification of a cool culture in the 1960s. Beyond describing the characteristics of the new directions and how they altered or amended earlier standards, the book seeks to explain why the change occured. It then assesses some of the outcomes and longer-range consequences of this transformation.History of emotion series.EmotionsSocial aspectsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryMiddle classUnited StatesPsychologyUnited StatesSocial life and customs20th centuryPsychological aspectsEmotionsSocial aspectsHistoryMiddle classPsychology.302.0973CV 7500rvkStearns Peter N.authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut183190DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996582071103316American Cool2867620UNISA
