| Zusammenfassung: | Cool'. It was a new word and a new way to be, and in a single generation, it became the supreme compliment of American culture. 'The Origins of Cool in Postwar America' uncovers the hidden history of this concept and its new set of codes that came to define a global attitude and style. As Joel Dinerstein reveals in this dynamic book, cool began as a stylish defiance of racism, a challenge to suppressed sexuality, a philosophy of individual rebellion, and a youthful search for social change. Through eye-opening portraits of iconic figures, Dinerstein illuminates the cultural connections and artistic innovations among Lester Young, Humphrey Bogart, Robert Mitchum, Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, Jack Kerouac, Albert Camus, Marlon Brando, and James Dean, among others. We eavesdrop on conversations among John-Paul Sartre, Simone De Beauvoir, and Miles Davis, and on a forgotten debate between Lorraine Hansberry and Norman Mailer over the "white negro" and Black cool. We come to understand how the cool worlds of Beat writers and Method actors emerged from the intersections of film noir, jazz, and existentialism. Out of this mix, Dinerstein sketches nuanced definitions of cool that unite concepts from African-American and Euro-American culture: the stylish stoicism of the ethical rebel loner; the relaxed intensity of the improvising jazz musician; the effortless, physical grace of the Method actor. To be cool is not to be hip and to be hot is definitely not to be cool |

Cool- It was a new word and a new way to
and in a single generation, it became
the supreme compliment of՜ American cul-
ture. The Origins of Cool in JRosti^sai՜ Amori-
ca uncovers the hidden history of this con-
cept and its new set of codes that came to
define a global attitude and style. As Joel
Dinerstein reveals in this dynamic book,
cool began as a stylish defiance of racism, a
challenge to suppressed sexuality, a philos-
ophy of individual rebellion, and a youthful
search for social change.
Through eye-opening portraits of icon-
ic figures, Dinerstein illuminates the cul-
tural connections and artistic innovations
among Lester Young, Humphrey Bogart,
Robert JVLitchum, Billie Holiday, Frank
Sinatra, Jack Kerouac, Albert Camus, Mar-
lon Brando, and James L ean, among oth-
ers. We eavesdrop on conversations among
Jean-Faul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, and
IVLiles Davis, and on a forgotten debate be-
tween Lorraine Han sherry and Norman
IVlailer over the “white Negro” and black
cool. We come to understand how the cool
worlds of Beat writers and method actors
emerged from the intersections of film
noir, Jazz, and existentialism. Out of this
mix, Dinerstein sketches nuanced defini-
tions of cool that unite concepts from Afri-
can-American and Euro- American culture:
the stylish stoicism of the ethical rebel lon-
er; the relaxed intensity of the improvising
jazz musician; the effortless, physical grace
(oontinned on baolc flap)
of the method actor. To be cool is not to be
hip and to be hot is definitely not to be cool.
This is the first work to trace the history
of cool during the Cold War by exploring
the intersections of film noir, jazz, existen-
tial literature, method acting, blues, and
rock and roll. Dinerstein reveals that they
came together to create something com-
pletely new—and that something is cool.

It was a new word and a new way to be, and in a single generation, it became the supreme compliment of American culture. 'The Origins of Cool in Postwar America' uncovers the hidden history of this concept and its new set of codes that came to define a global attitude and style. As Joel Dinerstein reveals in this dynamic book, cool began as a stylish defiance of racism, a challenge to suppressed sexuality, a philosophy of individual rebellion, and a youthful search for social change. Through eye-opening portraits of iconic figures, Dinerstein illuminates the cultural connections and artistic innovations among Lester Young, Humphrey Bogart, Robert Mitchum, Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, Jack Kerouac, Albert Camus, Marlon Brando, and James Dean, among others. We eavesdrop on conversations among John-Paul Sartre, Simone De Beauvoir, and Miles Davis, and on a forgotten debate between Lorraine Hansberry and Norman Mailer over the "white negro" and Black cool. We come to understand how the cool worlds of Beat writers and Method actors emerged from the intersections of film noir, jazz, and existentialism. Out of this mix, Dinerstein sketches nuanced definitions of cool that unite concepts from African-American and Euro-American culture: the stylish stoicism of the ethical rebel loner; the relaxed intensity of the improvising jazz musician; the effortless, physical grace of the Method actor.
