Icon of working-class femininity and the underworld, the realist singer signaled the emergence of new cultural roles for women as well as shifts in the nature of popular entertainment. Chanteuse in the City provides a genealogy of realist performance through analysis of the music hall careers and film roles of Mistinguett, Josephine Baker, Fréhel, and Damia. Above all, Conway offers a fresh interpretation of 1930's French cinema, emphasizing its love affair with popular song and its close connections to the music hall and the café-concert. Conway uncovers an important tradition of female performance in the golden era of French film, usually viewed as a cinema preoccupied with masculinity. She shows how-in films such as Pépé le Moko, Le Crime de Monsieur Lange, and Zouzou-the realist chanteuse addresses female despair at the hopelessness of love. Conway also sheds light on the larger cultural implications of the shift from the intimate café-concert to the spectacular music hall, before the talkies displaced both kinds of live performance altogether. 606 $aPopular music$zFrance$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMotion picture music$zFrance$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen singers$zFrance 606 $aMotion pictures$zFrance$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPopular music$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMotion picture music$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen singers 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory. 676 $a782.42164/082/0944 700 $aConway$b Kelley$f1963-$0845382 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450459503321 996 $aChanteuse in the city$91886698 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03988oam 2200949 c 450 001 9910263846103321 005 20260302090207.0 010 $a9783839435410 010 $a3839435412 024 7 $a10.14361/9783839435410 035 $a(CKB)3710000000588125 035 $a(EBL)4404014 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4404014 035 $a(WaSeSS)IndRDA00120859 035 $a(DE-B1597)468811 035 $a(OCoLC)957198310 035 $a(OCoLC)979892160 035 $a(OCoLC)987921615 035 $a(OCoLC)992472445 035 $a(DE-B1597)9783839435410 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6695122 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL6695122 035 $a(ScCtBLL)ccd3709d-76d3-43b4-8ce6-ba5534ae36a0 035 $a(transcript Verlag)9783839435410 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/39359 035 $a(Perlego)1530928 035 $a(oapen)doab39359 035 $a(oapen)doab26837 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000588125 100 $a20260302d2016 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 10$aDiverCity ?

Conclusion 205 Works Cited 211 330 $aBased on the structured analysis of selected North American novels, this work examines global cities as a literary phenomenon (»DiverCity«). By analyzing Dionne Brand's Toronto, »What We All Long For« (2005), Chang-rae Lee's New York, »Native Speaker« (1995), and Karen Tei Yamashita's Los Angeles, »Tropic of Orange« (1997), Melanie U. Pooch provides the connecting link for exploring the triad of globalization and its effects, global cities as cultural nodal points, and cultural diversity in a globalizing age as a literary phenomenon. Thus, she contributes to a global, interdisciplinary, and multi-perspectival understanding of literature, culture, and society. 410 0$aLettre (Transcript (Firm)) 517 2 $aPooch, DiverCity$eToronto, New York, and Los Angeles in a Globalizing Age 606 $aDiversity 606 $aGlobal City 606 $aGlobalization 606 $aCulture 606 $aLiterature 606 $aLos Angeles 606 $aNew York 606 $aToronto 606 $aCity 606 $aBritish Studies 606 $aLiterary Studies 606 $aUrban Studies 615 4$aDiversity 615 4$aGlobal City 615 4$aGlobalization 615 4$aCulture 615 4$aLiterature 615 4$aLos Angeles 615 4$aNew York 615 4$aToronto 615 4$aCity 615 4$aBritish Studies 615 4$aLiterary Studies 615 4$aUrban Studies 676 $a810.9 700 $aPooch$b Melanie U$p
