Creating the Modern Man: American Magazines and Consumer Culture, 19001950 By Tom Pendergast
2000 | 304 Pages | ISBN: 0826212808 | PDF | 1 MB
In the late nineteenth century, general-interest magazines began to reach an unprecedented number of readers and conveyed to those readers diverse messages about the meaning of masculinity in America. Over the next fifty years, these messages narrated a shift from Victorian masculinity, which valued character, integrity, hard work, and duty, to modern masculinity, which valued personality, self-realization, and image. In Creating the Modern Man, Tom Pendergast studies the multifaceted ways that masculinity is represented in magazines published during this transitional period. Pendergast focuses on the rise of mass consumer culture, demonstrating that consumerism was a key factor in reshaping American notions of masculinity as presented in popular magazines. Whereas much scholarship has decried the effects of consumerism, Pendergast treats consumer culture as an energizing force in the American magazine market. He suggests that such magazines offered men new and meaningful visions of masculine identity and argues that men actively participated in restructuring the masculine ideal. Engaging a wide range of magazines from American Magazine to Esquire to True, Pendergast demonstrates how these publications presented masculinity in ways that reflected the magazines' relationship to advertisers, contributors, and readers. This fascinating study includes such African American magazines as the Colored American, Crisis, Opportunity, and Ebony. Pendergast reasons that the rise of modern masculinity opened the way for African American men to identify with normative masculine values. As white men reinvented the idea of the "self-made man" for a new era, black men struggled to negotiate a meaningful place for black masculinity in a culture intent on denying them access. The first complete investigation of the representation of men in American magazines, Creating the Modern Man makes an important contribution to our understanding of these publications, both as elements of mass culture and as interesting institutions in their own right. Pendergast takes readers inside the complex world of magazine publishing, demonstrating how magazines slowly yet surely help create the cultural images that shape societal gender roles.

English | August 8, 2025 | ISBN: 9815129295 | 520 pages | MOBI | 18 Mb
This book explores what pulse phonation is, what it can do, and how it develops into a cultural practice. It is a multidisciplinary inquiry that merges theoretical frameworks with embodied practice to discuss the processes of producing and perceiving pulse phonation, its use and significance in contemporary discourse, its functions in the animal world, and its place in a broader reflection on voice and sound production. It presents a thorough investigation of pulse phonation to jointly take into consideration its sociocultural, bioacoustic, and creative dimensions. In the book, leading scholars and practitioners such as Nassima Abdelli-Beruh, Diana Sidtis, Katherine Meizel, and John Nix present a wide array of approaches, from sociolinguistics and voice anatomy to acoustic ecology and performance studies. These approaches include case studies of creaky voices across cultures and media; physiology and acoustics of the pulse register; creak singing including possibilities, perspectives, pedagogies; pulse phonation, embodiment, and gender; the "phenomenon of extreme vocal fry"; vocology, somatics, and the disease condition; the use of pulse phonation from live arts to film studies; composition, improvisation, and creation with creak; and the pulse register in animal vocalization. This groundbreaking publication concludes with a multifaceted series of testimonies from users and listeners of creaky voices.

Covergirl: Confessions of a Flawed Hedonist By Maura Moynihan
2007 | 272 Pages | ISBN: 0060756608 | PDF | 2 MB
Maura Moynihan's first novel, Covergirl, blends reality and fiction in a brilliant and exciting roman ? clef that draws richly from the author's own adventures as a Warhol Girl and from her many years of working with Tibetan refugees in Asia. Meet Veronica Ferris, the daughter of an imperious socialite and a kindly but absent diplomat. Fresh out of college, Veronica lands in Manhattan in pursuit of romance, disco, and rock 'n' roll-an arrival that threatens to usurp her mother's ambitious assault on New York high society. Maintaining her "double life" as a talented partygoer and a bearer of the esteemed Ferris family name is a high-wire act that requires far more cunning and restraint than young Veronica initially realizes. With its unforgettable heroine and wry, highly entertaining voice, Covergirl is at once a poignant coming-of-age tale, a delightful social satire, and a vibrant modern-day odyssey.
