- Description
- The contributors describe how gender dynamics have shaped the production, reception and criticism of jazz culture. Essays range from a reflection on the female boogie-woogie pianists who played at Café Society in New York during the 1930s and 1940s to interpretations of how the jazzman is represented in Dorothy Baker’s novel Young Man with a Horn (1938) and Michael Curtiz’s film adaptation (1950).

- Description
- In this book, Berlant chronicles the origins of the first mass-cultural “intimate public” in the United States, a “women’s culture” distinguished by a view that women inevitably have something in common and are in need of a conversation that feels intimate and revelatory. As Berlant explains, “women’s” books, films, and television shows enact a fantasy that a woman’s life is not just her own, but an experience understood by other women, no matter how dissimilar they are. Pairing literary criticism and historical analysis, Berlant explores the territory of an intimate public sphere through close readings of U.S. women’s literary works and their stage and film adaptations. Her interpretation of Uncle Tom’s Cabin and its literary descendants reaches from Harriet Beecher Stowe to Toni Morrison’s Beloved, touching on Shirley Temple, and The Bridges of Madison County along the way. Berlant reads Fannie Hurst’s Imitation of Life: Olive Higgins Prouty’s feminist melodrama Now, Voyager: Dorothy Parker’s poetry, prose, and Academy Award–winning screenplay for A Star Is Born: the Fay Weldon novel and Roseanne Barr film The Life and Loves of a She-Devil: and the queer, avant-garde film Showboat 1988–The Remake.
