Edited by Martin Klepper and Joseph C. Schöpp. Modernism in Europe and modernism in the United States - at first glance these two concepts seem to be quite different if not opposing. European modernism, it appears, is innovative and even iconoclastic (Joyce, Schönberg, Gropius, Schwitters). American modernism, it would seem, is rather reconciliatory and even conservative (Fitzgerald, Gershwin, Wright and Hopper). The collection of essays in Transatlantic Modernism disproves this point. Transatlantic Modernism tackles the modes of transfer, translation, cross-fertilization and reinterpretation which actually characterize the complex relations between European and American cultures within the period of modernism. The essays collected in this volume cover a broad array of forms of cultural expression: literature (Döblin, Dos Passos, Faulkner etc.), philosophy (Bergson, James, Dewey), painting (Gleizes, Stella, Shahn), photography (Ray, Steichen, Sheeler), fashion (Poiret, Delaunay, Schiaparelli), film (Fox, Stroheim, Lubitsch), architecture (Bauhaus, Johnson, Hitchcock) and opera (Thomson, Stein). 307 Seiten mit zahlreichen Abb., gebunden (American studies; Vol. 89/Winter Verlag 2001) leichte Lagerspuren, DE, [SC: 2.50], wie neu, gewerbliches Angebot, [GW: 444g], Offene Rechnung (Vorkasse vorbehalten), Internationaler Versand, [CT: Religion/Philosophie / Philosophie allgemein], [PU: Winter, Heidelberg]<
