Manly arts : masculinity and nation in early American cinema

Author:	David A Gerstner
Publisher:	Durham : Duke University Press, ©2006.
Edition/Format:	Print book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	David A. Gerstner reveals the crucial role of early cinema in consolidating a masculine ideal under American capitalism during the late 19th Century and the early 20th. He shows how J. Stuart Blackton and Theodore Roosevelt developed The Battle Cry of Peace(1915) to disclose cinema's nationalist possibilities during the era of the new twentieth-century urban frontier; how Paul Strand and Charles Sheeler positioned a national avant-garde through the fusion of "American Cubism" and industrialization in their film, Manhatta (1921); and how Oscar Micheaux drew on slave narratives and other African American artistic traditions as he grappled with the ideological terms of African American and white American manhood in his movie, Within Our Gates(1920). Turning to Vincente Minnelli's Cabin in the Sky(1943), Gerstner points to the emergence of an aesthetic of cultural excess that brought together white and African American cultural producers-many of them queer-and troubled the equation of national arts with masculinity.  Read more...
