At the turn of the past century, the main function of a newspaper was to offer ÒmenusÓ by which readers could make sense of modern life and imagine how to order their daily lives. Among those menus in the mid-1910s were several that mediated the interests of movie manufacturers, distributors, exhibitors, and the rapidly expanding audience of fans. This writing about the movies arguably played a crucial role in the emergence of American popular film culture, negotiating among national, regional, and local interests to shape fansÕ ephemeral experience of moviegoing, their repeated encounters with the fantasy worlds of Òmovieland,Ó and their attractions to certain stories and stars. Moreover, many of these weekend pages, daily columns, and film reviews were written and consumed by women, including one teenage girl who compiled a rare surviving set of scrapbooks. Based on extensive original research, Menus for Movieland substantially revises what moviegoing meant in the transition to what we now think of as Hollywood.

First-ever new edition of Movieland, the 1930 English translation of Spanish proto-surrealist Ramón Gómez de la Serna's 1923 novel Cinélandia. According to translator Angel Flores, Movieland "deals with an ideal Hollywood, with a Hollywood more amazing, if that were possible, than the one we know." "Brilliant satiric fantasy." - Sioux City Journal "A baroque and flippant literary antic . . . the novel is thoroughly satisfactory." - New York Times "For a man who has never been in Hollywood, not even the U.S.A., Ramón did well, uncommonly so, by the allegedly fictitious characters of his opus. Each chapter, almost each paragraph, is a complete sparkling little jewel in itself. Synthesized, they become equally sparkling, witty, cynical yet refreshing facets of a larger gem." - Brooklyn Daily Eagle

Celebrity Culture and the American Dream, Second Edition considers how major economic and historical factors shaped the nature of celebrity culture as we know it today, retaining the first edition’s examples from the first celebrity fan magazines of 1911 to the present and expanding to include updated examples and additional discussion on the role of the internet and social media in today’s celebrity culture. Equally important, the book explains how and why the story of Hollywood celebrities matters, sociologically speaking, to an understanding of American society, to the changing nature of the American Dream, and to the relation between class and culture. This book is an ideal addition to courses on inequalities, celebrity culture, media, and cultural studies.

to see america THE MOVIELAND begins its chronicle as the Portuguese liner SS Serpa Pinto (one of a few passenger ships that in the spring of 1943 is allowed to cross the Atlantic with a modicum of safety) lies seaboard off the Pennsylvania coast. Children, wakened without warning by the sudden stillness of the engines, dress quickly in the dark as best they can and rush out of their cabins. Where do you think you're going?' Victor Landau, a boy a year older and a year taller and a year meaner than Arthur Spelmin, blocks his way. "To see America." Arthur shouts as he manages to run by his antagonist. "To see America!" THE MOVIELAND by Fischbach Harry Harman tells the story of eleven year old Arthur Spelmin as he reaches America whose new tastes, new sounds and new sights overwhelm as he becomes at one with the rhythms of his new homeland. The novel also recounts the life and career of the adult Arthur Spelmin; the beginnings of live-television in New York, his work with the Nouvelle Vague, his marriage to the expatriate American actress, Jenny Crystal with whom he has a daughter, his divorce, his success in Public Television and his entrance into big-time Hollywood motion-picture-making where, as head of production for a major studio, he is haunted by unwanted involvement in financial undertakings which are at odds with what was once his American Dream. "As insightful a look at the moviemaking business as the one offered us by Budd Schulberg when Sammy Glick was running things there some six decades ago." -Irv Liberman
