Voices of persuasion: politics of representation in 1930s America
The 1930s concern with recording the speaking voice is virtually unrivaled in American cultural history. In that decade, scores of writers traveled into the field to record the voices of African Americans, American Indians, migrant workers, tenant farmers, and immigrants

Zusammenfassung: | The 1930s concern with recording the speaking voice is virtually unrivaled in American cultural history. In that decade, scores of writers traveled into the field to record the voices of African Americans, American Indians, migrant workers, tenant farmers, and immigrants In this innovative study, Michael E. Staub recasts 1930s cultural history by analyzing those genres so characteristic of the Depression era: genres that relied on a presumed relationship to real experience for their effect and that sought to persuade their audiences of urgent political truths. Demonstrating the seldom-discussed multicultural diversity of Depression-era literature, and paying special attention to narrative strategies for representing the speech of disinherited and minority peoples, Staub shows how several writers from the thirties anticipated dilemmas and perspectives currently engaging cultural studies critics. New interpretations of such canonized authors as James Agee, John Dos Passos, Zora Neale Hurston, John G. Neihardt, and Tillie Olsen are coupled with critical discussions of previously little-known works of ethnography, journalism, oral history, and polemical fiction Voices of Persuasion sheds new light on the relationship between art and politics in the 1930s. It will interest all who are concerned with the problematic relationship between representation and social reality and their mutual inextricability |

Press 1994 XI, 174 S. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier Cambridge studies in American literature and culture 78 The 1930s concern with recording the speaking voice is virtually unrivaled in American cultural history. In that decade, scores of writers traveled into the field to record the voices of African Americans, American Indians, migrant workers, tenant farmers, and immigrants In this innovative study, Michael E. Staub recasts 1930s cultural history by analyzing those genres so characteristic of the Depression era: genres that relied on a presumed relationship to real experience for their effect and that sought to persuade their audiences of urgent political truths. Demonstrating the seldom-discussed multicultural diversity of Depression-era literature, and paying special attention to narrative strategies for representing the speech of disinherited and minority peoples, Staub shows how several writers from the thirties anticipated dilemmas and perspectives currently engaging cultural studies critics. New interpretations of such canonized authors as James Agee, John Dos Passos, Zora Neale Hurston, John G. Neihardt, and Tillie Olsen are coupled with critical discussions of previously little-known works of ethnography, journalism, oral history, and polemical fiction Voices of Persuasion sheds new light on the relationship between art and politics in the 1930s. It will interest all who are concerned with the problematic relationship between representation and social reality and their mutual inextricability Geschichte 1900-2000 Geschichte 1930-1940 gnd rswk-swf Letterkunde gtt Politieke bewegingen gtt Geschichte Literatur American literature 20th century History and criticism Ethnic groups in literature Literature and society United States History 20th century Minorities in literature Persuasion (Rhetoric) History 20th century Politics and literature United States History 20th century Representative government and representation in literature Stimme (DE-588)4057587-1 gnd rswk-swf Rhetorik (DE-588)4076704-8 gnd rswk-swf Nationale Minderheit (DE-588)4039409-8 gnd rswk-swf Ethnische Gruppe (DE-588)4153095-0 gnd rswk-swf Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf Repräsentation Politik (DE-588)4398345-5 gnd rswk-swf Politik (DE-588)4046514-7 gnd rswk-swf USA USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 s Ethnische Gruppe (DE-588)4153095-0 s Geschichte 1930-1940 z DE-604 Stimme (DE-588)4057587-1 s Nationale Minderheit (DE-588)4039409-8 s DE-188 Rhetorik (DE-588)4076704-8 s Repräsentation Politik (DE-588)4398345-5 s Politik (DE-588)4046514-7 s Cambridge studies in American literature and culture 78 (DE-604)BV004573777 78 HEBIS Datenaustausch application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=006495959&sequence=000002&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
