American Domesticity From HowTo Manual to Hollywood Melodrama The book "American Domesticity From HowTo Manual to Hollywood Melodrama" by Kathleen Anne McHugh is a thought-provoking exploration of the evolution of technology and its impact on society, particularly in the context of domestic life. The author argues that the rapid pace of technological advancements has led to a disconnect between the way we live our lives and the way we used to live them just a few decades ago. This disconnect has created a sense of unease and uncertainty, as we struggle to adapt to the changing times. The book begins with an examination of the how-to manual, a staple of American culture that has been around since the early 20th century. These manuals were once a reliable source of information and guidance, but they have become outdated and obsolete in today's fast-paced world. The author suggests that this decline is a reflection of the broader changes in American society, where the emphasis on self-sufficiency and independence has given way to a reliance on technology and convenience. As technology continues to advance, the author argues that we are losing touch with our own humanity. We are becoming more detached from the natural world and from each other, relying on machines to do everything for us. This has led to a loss of community and a sense of isolation, as people become more focused on their individual needs and desires rather than the needs of the collective. The book then turns its attention to Hollywood melodrama, which the author argues has become the dominant form of entertainment in modern America.
American Domesticity From HowTo Manual to Hollywood Melodrama Книга Кэтлин Энн МакХью «American Domesticity From HowTo Manual to Hollywood Melodrama» - это наводящее на размышления исследование эволюции технологий и их влияния на общество, особенно в контексте домашней жизни. Автор утверждает, что быстрые темпы технологических достижений привели к разрыву между тем, как мы живем, и тем, как мы жили их всего несколько десятилетий назад. Этот разрыв создал чувство беспокойства и неопределенности, поскольку мы изо всех сил пытаемся адаптироваться к меняющимся временам. Книга начинается с изучения практического руководства, основного продукта американской культуры, которое существует с начала 20-го века. Эти руководства когда-то были надежным источником информации и руководства, но они устарели и устарели в современном быстро развивающемся мире. Автор предполагает, что это снижение является отражением более широких изменений в американском обществе, где акцент на самодостаточности и независимости уступил место опоре на технологии и удобство. Поскольку технологии продолжают развиваться, автор утверждает, что мы теряем связь с собственной человечностью. Мы становимся все более отстраненными от мира природы и друг от друга, опираясь на машины, чтобы сделать все за нас. Это привело к потере сообщества и чувству изоляции, поскольку люди становятся более сосредоточенными на своих индивидуальных потребностях и желаниях, а не на потребностях коллектива. Затем книга обращает своё внимание на голливудскую мелодраму, которая, как утверждает автор, стала доминирующей формой развлечения в современной Америке.
American Domesticity From Manuale to Hollywood Melodrama Il libro di Kathleen Ann McHugh "American Dominicity From" Manuale to Hollywood Melodrama "è uno studio di riflessione sull'evoluzione della tecnologia e sul loro impatto sulla società, soprattutto nel contesto della vita domestica. L'autore sostiene che il rapido ritmo dei progressi tecnologici ha causato un divario tra il modo in cui viviamo e il modo in cui li abbiamo vissuti solo qualche decennio fa. Questo divario ha creato un senso di preoccupazione e incertezza, perché stiamo cercando di adattarci ai tempi che cambiano. Il libro inizia studiando la guida pratica, il prodotto principale della cultura americana che esiste dall'inizio del 20esimo secolo. Questi manuali erano una fonte affidabile di informazioni e di leadership, ma erano obsoleti e obsoleti in un mondo in continua evoluzione. L'autore suggerisce che questa diminuzione è il riflesso di un cambiamento più ampio nella società americana, dove l'accento sull'autosufficienza e l'indipendenza ha dato il posto alla tecnologia e alla convenienza. Poiché la tecnologia continua a crescere, l'autore sostiene che stiamo perdendo il contatto con la nostra stessa umanità. amo sempre più distanti dal mondo della natura e l'uno dall'altro, basandoci sulle macchine per fare tutto per noi. Ciò ha portato alla perdita della comunità e del senso di isolamento, poiché le persone diventano più concentrate sulle proprie esigenze e desideri individuali piuttosto che su quelle della collettività. Poi il libro si concentra sul melodramma hollywoodiano, che l'autore sostiene sia diventato la forma dominante di intrattenimento nell'America moderna.
