Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Geschichte Europa - and. Länder - Europa Nachkriegszeit, Note: 4.5 (Schweizer Note), Universität Zürich (Historisches Seminar), Veranstaltung: Seminar: Leben mit der Bombe. Kultur und Gesellschaft des Westens im Atomzeitalter., Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In der Einleitung des Buches "Atomic Culture. How We Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb." von Scott Zeman und Michael Amundson, werden vier Perioden der "Atomic Culture" vorgestellt, in denen die Atombombe auf kultureller Ebene unterschiedlich präsentiert und dargestellt wurde. Mit dem ersten Atombombentest der Sowjetunion im Jahre 1949 begann nach dieser Einteilung die sogenannte "High Atomic Culture", welche bis 1963 andauerte. Während dieser Zeitspanne wurden die Menschen auf der Welt, speziell auch in den USA, mit zahlreichen Ereignissen konfrontiert, die im Zusammenhang mit der Atombombe oder nuklearer Energie standen. Während dieser Phase der"High Atomic Culture", speziell in den 50er Jahren, entstanden zahlreiche Filme, in erster Linie aus dem Science-Fiction Genre, welche die Atombombenthematik direkt oder indirekt behandelten. Dabei stellt sich die Frage, wie die Filmemacher mit den Sorgen, Ängsten und Gefahren dieser Zeit umgegangen sind und wie sie all das in ihren Filmen präsentierten. Gab es in den Filmen direkte oder indirekte Kritik an der atomaren Bewaffnung? Konnte die Menschheit die Bedrohungen abwenden? Kam es zu einem Happy End? Oder waren die Filme eher dystopisch und zeigten die vernichtenden Auswirkungen der Atombombe, beziehungsweise ihrer Folgen? All das soll in dieser Arbeit untersucht werden. Ziel ist es, anhand einer Auswahl an Filmen aus dieser Zeit zu erarbeiten, ob es überhaupt ein einheitliches Bild der Atomwaffenproblematik und ihrer Lösungen in den Filmen gab oder ob zumindest gewisse Strukturen und Tendenzen erkennbar sind. Folgendes sind die ausgewählten Filme: Rocketship X-M (Kurt Neumann, USA 1950), The Day the Earth Stood Still (Robert Wise, USA 1951), The War of the Worlds (Byron Haskin, USA 1953), Them! (Gordon Douglas, USA 1954), The Incredible Shrinking Man (Jack Arnold, USA 1957). Die Filme wurden anhand verschiedener Faktoren ausgewählt. Sowohl die Entstehungsdaten, wie auch die Themen der einzelnen Filme unterschiedlich und ein Grossteil der Inhalte der damaligen Science-Fiction Filme ist abgedeckt (die Atombombe als Waffe gegen Ausserirdische, Mutationen von Tieren und Menschen durch die Atombombe, Zerstörung der Welt).

Celluloid Mushroom Clouds is a historical account of how the movie industry responded to specific economic and political forces over the postwar years. Joyce Evans investigates the transformation of the imagery associated with atomic technology found in Hollywood film produced and distributed between 1947 and 1964. Incorporating qualitative and quantitative research methods, over 90 films are analyzed in terms of their historical context and the context of film production and distribution.The industry-focused approach presented in the book views cultural production as a material process unfolding under specific economic, political, and cultural conditions and emphasizes the ?pressures and limits? of production that are inscribed in cinematic texts. The study illustrates in concrete detail how the cinematic texts negotiated by audiences are produced in highly concentrated industries and are constructed as a result of often contradictory determinants. These determinants work to shape the texts produced by encouraging, for example, the production of particular genres and by privileging a specific set of images over others. Evans argues that through these images, Hollywood articulated a limited critique of the Cold War ideology, which it also helped to create. She concludes that Hollywood's overall ideological effect has been to restrict the discursive means available for defining social reality.

The shocking and significant story of how the White House and Pentagon scuttled an epic Hollywood production. Soon after atomic bombs exploded over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, MGM set out to make a movie studio chief Louis B. Mayer called “the most important story” he would ever film: a big budget dramatization of the Manhattan Project and the invention and use of the revolutionary new weapon. Over at Paramount, Hal B. Wallis was ramping up his own film version. His screenwriter: the novelist Ayn Rand, who saw in physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer the model for a character she was sketching for Atlas Shrugged. Greg Mitchell’s The Beginning or the End chronicles the first efforts of American media and culture to process the Atomic Age. A movie that began as a cautionary tale inspired by atomic scientists aiming to warn the world against a nuclear arms race would be drained of all impact due to revisions and retakes ordered by President Truman and the military—for reasons of propaganda, politics, and petty human vanity (this was Hollywood). Mitchell has found his way into the lofty rooms, from Washington to California, where it happened, unearthing hundreds of letters and dozens of scripts that show how wise intentions were compromised in favor of defending the use of the bomb and the imperatives of postwar politics. As in his acclaimed Cold War true-life thriller The Tunnels, he exposes how our implacable American myth-making mechanisms distort our history.

Eight scholars examine the range of cultural expressions of atomic energy from the 1940s to the early twenty-first century, including comic books, nuclear landscapes, mushroom-cloud postcards, the Los Alamos suburbs, uranium-themed board games, future atomic waste facilities, and atomic-themed films such as 'Dr. Strangelove' and 'The Atomic Kid'. Despite the growing interest in atomic culture and history, the body of relevant scholarship is relatively sparse. Atomic Culture opens new doors into the field by providing a substantive, engaging, and historically based consideration of the topic that will appeal to students and scholars of the Atomic Age as well as general readers.

Horror Culture in the New Millennium: Digital Dissonance and Technohorror explores the myriad ways in which technology is altering the human experience as articulated in horrific storytelling. The text surveys a variety of emerging trends and story forms in the field, through both a series of critical essays and personal interviews with scholars, editors, authors, and artists now creating and refining horror stories in the new millennium. The project posits a rationale for the presence of technohorror as a defining concern in contemporary horror literature, marking a departure from the monstrous and spectral traditions of the twentieth century in its depictions of frightful narratives marked by the qualities of plausibility, mundanity, and surprise as we tell stories about what it means to be human. As our culture explores the dichotomies of the born/made, natural/artificial, and human/computer—all while subsumed within a paradigm shift predicated on the transition from the traditions of print to emerging digital communications practices—these changes form the basis for horrific speculations in our texts and technologies. Ultimately, Digital Dissonance: Horror Culture in the New Millennium explores that paradoxical human attraction for peering into the darkness as translated through our lived experiences in an era of rapidly evolving technologies.
