Autor Linda Mizejewski
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 apr 1999
Analyses the Ziegfeld Girl as a cultural icon and argues that during a time when American national identity was in flux, Ziegfeld Girls were both products and representations of a white, upscale, heterosexual national ideal. This work is useful for scholars and students in American studies, popular culture, and theatre and performance studies.

Recenzii

"Reflecting on the legendary showgirls who adorned the 20s Broadway, Ziegfeld Girl shows superhuman restraint in downplaying the woman-as-spectacle line... [Linda Mizejewski] waxes eloquent in her contention that Ziegfeld-style eroticism was vacuumed of sweat and passion. The book is ... informed on details of costume and choreography ..." --Sight and Sound, November 1999 "Linda Mizejewski's book is not so much a history of the showgirl, but rather uses the phenomenon as a way to gauge cultural shifts in popular conceptions of race, gender, and sexuality. While this book uses Ziegfeld and his Girls as touchstones for quite broad cultural tensions in the United States, Mizejewski never loses sight of her central focus. More illustrations would have been welcome ... but Ziegfeld Girl compensates with its wealth of detail and engaging style." --TLS, 6 August, 1999 "Mizejewski undresses the whole business of the American glamour girl and reveals why, in a nation where immigration and integration were points of crisis, the white skin of the showgirls had its part to play in creating the image of the American girl." --The Guardian, 15 May, 1999 "A smart, assured book about the construction of an important figure in America who represents a contradictory, and perhaps uniquely American, constellation of types-the chorus girl, the ideal beauty, the golddigger, the perfect wife, and the tramp-all bundled into one glorified pulchritudinous package." Pamela Robertson, author of Guilty Pleasures: Feminist Camp from Mae West to Madonna "Mizejewski brings together issues of consumerism, fashion, nationalism, and performance in a volume that is packed full of information and analysis. It is conceptually focused, theoretically sophisticated, and jargon free." Jane Desmond, author of Meaning in Motion: New Cultural Studies of Dance
