Down With the Old Canoe – A Cultural History of the Titanic Disaster
Autor Steven Bielen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 dec 1997
Protestant sermons used the Titanic to condemn the budding consumer society (We know the end of . . . the undisturbed sensualists. As they sail the sea of life we know absolutely that their ship will meet disaster.). African American toasts and working-class ballads made the ship emblematic of the foolishness of white people and the greed of the rich. A 1950s revival framed the disaster as an older kind of disaster in which people had time to die. An ever-increasing number of Titanic buffs find heroism and order in the tale. Still in the headlines (Titanic Baby Found Alive! the Weekly World News declares) and a figure of everyday speech (rearranging deck chairs . . .), the Titanic disaster echoes within a richly diverse, paradoxical, and fascinating America.
