- W2070932103 abstract "This book describes the vertiginous collapse of German-American Kultur in New York City between 1895 and 1918. Once hailed by anxious WASPs and pompous Germans alike as the measure of vitality and vision—of all that was missing from Anglo-American arts and letters—by the end of World War I Kultur had succumbed to the crushing assimilative force of an emergent popular media. Author Peter Conolly-Smith emphasizes that the war only completed a process already under way. The anti-German hysteria that war unleashed in the United States would have been negligible without the medium to transmit it. In a city rent by language differences, new cartoons, comics, films, and theater delivered visual messages that any immigrant could understand: look and act like them and you'll have a rough go of it here. Better to look and act like us. Kultur did not yield to pop culture overnight. It did so as the result of a quarter-century-long process of social mediation that Conolly-Smith calls “translation.” Translation is really a form of negotiation. In literature, the translator negotiates between languages; in turn-of-the-century New York, translators negotiated between cultural communities. There are many fascinating characters in this book, but few villains. The imagery Conolly-Smith examines emerged as the product of artistic agency, audience participation, economic imperative, and social prejudice. The author has a sharp eye for partly-intended consequences. For example, he tells the story of one German-American cartoonist who so thoroughly Americanized his audience that he translated himself right out of a job." @default.
