- W355046621 abstract "Examines 1950s nostalgia that has influenced American politics since Reagan era. Norman Rockwell paintings of 1940s and 1950s, wrote Newt Gingrich, there was a clear sense of what it meant to be an American. Gingrich's words underline what Mary Caputi sees as a desire of neoconservative movement to set a foundation for modern that ennobles Analyzing these competing uses of past, A Kinder, Gentler America reveals how longing for era of the greatest generation actually exposes a disillusionment with present. Caputi draws on theoretical frameworks of Julia Kristeva and Walter Benjamin to look at how decade has been portrayed in movies such as Pleasantville and Far from Heaven and delves further to investigate our disenchantment's lost origins in early modernity through a reading of poetry of Baudelaire. What emerges is a stark contrast between depictions of a melancholic present and a cheerful, shiny past. In right's invocation of mythical 1950s and left's criticism of same, Caputi recognizes a common unfulfilled desire, and proposes that by understanding this loss both sides can begin to accept that American identity, despite chaos and confusion, lies in here and now." @default.
