| Zusammenfassung: | How New York's Lower East Side inspired new ways of seeing AmericaNew York City's Lower East Side, long viewed as the space of what Jacob Riis notoriously called the "other half," was also a crucible for experimentation in photography, film, literature, and visual technologies. This book takes an unprecedented look at the practices of observation that emerged from this critical site of encounter, showing how they have informed literary and everyday narratives of America, its citizens, and its possible futures.Taking readers from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, Sara Blair traces the career of the Lower East Side as a place where image-makers, writers, and social reformers tested new techniques for apprehending America--and their subjects looked back, confronting the means used to represent them. This dynamic shaped the birth of American photojournalism, the writings of Stephen Crane and Abraham Cahan, and the forms of early cinema. During the 1930s, the emptying ghetto opened contested views of the modern city, animating the work of such writers and photographers as Henry Roth, Walker Evans, and Ben Shahn. After World War II, the Lower East Side became a key resource for imagining poetic revolution, as in the work of Allen Ginsberg and LeRoi Jones, and exploring dystopian futures, from Cold War atomic strikes to the death of print culture and the threat of climate change.How the Other Half Looks reveals how the Lower East Side has inspired new ways of looking-and looking back-that have shaped literary and popular expression as well as American modernity |

This book takes an unprecedented look at the practices of observation that emerged from this critical site of encounter, showing how they have informed literary and everyday narratives of America, its citizens, and its possible futures.Taking readers from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, Sara Blair traces the career of the Lower East Side as a place where image-makers, writers, and social reformers tested new techniques for apprehending America--and their subjects looked back, confronting the means used to represent them. This dynamic shaped the birth of American photojournalism, the writings of Stephen Crane and Abraham Cahan, and the forms of early cinema. During the 1930s, the emptying ghetto opened contested views of the modern city, animating the work of such writers and photographers as Henry Roth, Walker Evans, and Ben Shahn. After World War II, the Lower East Side became a key resource for imagining poetic revolution, as in the work of Allen Ginsberg and LeRoi Jones, and exploring dystopian futures, from Cold War atomic strikes to the death of print culture and the threat of climate change.How the Other Half Looks reveals how the Lower East Side has inspired new ways of looking-and looking back-that have shaped literary and popular expression as well as American modernity Geschichte 1850-2015 gnd rswk-swf HISTORY / United States / State & Local / Middle Atlantic (DC, DE, MD, NJ, NY, PA) bisacsh Art New York (State) New York Fotografie (DE-588)4045895-7 gnd rswk-swf New York- Lower East Side Motiv (DE-588)103685468X gnd rswk-swf Film (DE-588)4017102-4 gnd rswk-swf Gesellschaft Motiv (DE-588)4157054-6 gnd rswk-swf Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf Slum Motiv (DE-588)4519909-7 gnd rswk-swf New York- Lower East Side Motiv (DE-588)103685468X s Slum Motiv (DE-588)4519909-7 s Gesellschaft Motiv (DE-588)4157054-6 s Fotografie (DE-588)4045895-7 s Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 s Film (DE-588)4017102-4 s Geschichte 1850-2015 z DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 978-0-691-17222-4 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 978-0-691-20287-7 https://doi.org/10.23943/9781400889242 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctvc777t9 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
