Book Birth of an Industry

Download or read book Birth of an Industry written by Nicholas Sammond and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2015-08-27 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Birth of an Industry, Nicholas Sammond describes how popular early American cartoon characters were derived from blackface minstrelsy. He charts the industrialization of animation in the early twentieth century, its representation in the cartoons themselves, and how important blackface minstrels were to that performance, standing in for the frustrations of animation workers. Cherished cartoon characters, such as Mickey Mouse and Felix the Cat, were conceived and developed using blackface minstrelsy's visual and performative conventions: these characters are not like minstrels; they are minstrels. They play out the social, cultural, political, and racial anxieties and desires that link race to the laboring body, just as live minstrel show performers did. Carefully examining how early animation helped to naturalize virulent racial formations, Sammond explores how cartoons used laughter and sentimentality to make those stereotypes seem not only less cruel, but actually pleasurable. Although the visible links between cartoon characters and the minstrel stage faded long ago, Sammond shows how important those links are to thinking about animation then and now, and about how cartoons continue to help to illuminate the central place of race in American cultural and social life.

Book  Yellow Kid  Weil

    Book Details:
  • Author : J.R. Weil
  • Publisher : AK Press
  • Release : 2011-02-22
  • ISBN : 1849350523
  • Pages : 352 pages

Download or read book Yellow Kid Weil written by J.R. Weil and published by AK Press. This book was released on 2011-02-22 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bilked bankers, grifted gamblers, and swindled spinsters: welcome to the world of confidence men. You'll marvel at the elaborate schemes developed by The Yellow Kid and cry for the marks who lost it all to his ingenuity—$8,000,000 by some estimations. Fixed horse races, bad real-estate deals, even a money-making machine—all were tools of the trade for the Kid and his associates: the Swede, the Butterine Kid, the Harmony Kid, Fats Levine, and others. The Sting (1973), starring Paul Newman and based largely on the story of the Yellow Kid, is entertaining, but is no match for the real deal.

Download or read book Representations of class and war in the Yellow Kid based on The War Scare in Hogan s Alley March 15 1896 from the New York series written by Anna Winkelmann and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2013-01-02 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2.7, University of Osnabrück (Anglistik), course: "Hully Gee"! Understanding the "Yellow Kid" Newspaper Comics, language: English, abstract: “Though many of Pekar’s short pieces look very much like gag comic strips, they usually end on a reflective or ambiguous note.” (Witek 133). This quotation is an apposite remark on Harvey Pekar’s oeuvre as well as it describes Richard Felton Outcault’s comic series The Yellow Kid. His detailed pictures do not only offer the obvious facts, but often carry an underlying meaning. With that said, I want to discuss the issue of representations of class and war in the comic page The War Scare in Hogan’s Alley printed on March 15, 1896 in the New York World (appendix A). By answering the following questions “Which kinds of war does Outcault depict in his comic page? How does he portray these variations of war? In what kind of range do the different immigrant representations enact a part for the interpretation of the war issue?” I argue that Outcault presents the war in a very positive way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A sweeping collection and a tribute to one of the most influential, daring, and visionary minds of the twentieth century The year 2015 marks several literary milestones: the centennial of Saul Bellow's birth, the tenth anniversary of his death, and the publication of Zachary Leader's much anticipated biography. Bellow, a Nobel Laureate, Pulitzer Prize winner, and the only novelist to receive three National Book awards, has long been regarded as one of America's most cherished authors. Here, Benjamin Taylor, editor of the acclaimed Saul Bellow: Letters, presents lesser-known aspects of the iconic writer. Arranged chronologically, this literary time capsule displays the full extent of Bellow's nonfiction, including criticism, interviews, speeches, and other reflections, tracing his career from his initial success as a novelist until the end of his life. Bringing together six classic pieces with an abundance of previously uncollected material, There Is Simply Too Much to Think About is a powerful reminder not only of Bellow's genius but also of his enduring place in the western canon and is sure to be widely reviewed and talked about for years to come"--
