SUMMARY:“Paradoxes of Nostalgia: Cold War Triumphalism and Global Disorder since 1989\,” Presented by Professor Penny M. Von Eschen
DESCRIPTION:New Canaan Library is pleased to welcome Professor Penny Von Eschen\, University of Virginia\, who will speak about the cold war and post-cold war era through the lens of her book\, Paradoxes of Nostalgia: Cold War Triumphalism and Global Disorder since 1989. The live webinar will take place on Thursday\, March 17 at 7 PM EST. Please register at newcanaanlibrary.org for Zoom sign in. \nProfessor Penny M. Von Eschen offers a sweeping examination of the cold war’s afterlife and the lingering shadows it casts over geopolitics\, journalism\, and popular culture. In Paradoxes of Power\, Von Eschen shows how myriad forms of nostalgia across the globe—from those that posit a mythic national past to those critical of neoliberalism that remember a time when people believed in the possibility of a collective good—indelibly shape the post-cold war era. When Western triumphalism moved into global South and former eastern bloc spaces\, many articulated a powerful sense of loss and a longing for stability. \nPenny M. Von Eschen is a William R. Kenan Jr. Professor of American Studies and Professor of History at the University of Virginia and author of Satchmo Blows Up the World: Jazz Ambassadors Play the Cold War and Race against Empire: Black Americans and Anticolonialism\, 1937–1957.

SUMMARY:“Hollywood’s Embassies: How Movie Theaters Projected American Power Around the World\,” Presented via New Canaan Library Webinar
DESCRIPTION:In art and entertainment\, sometimes the frame\, or the venue\, is as impactful as what it presents. Such was the case with lavish American movie theaters of the early to mid-20th century\, which seduced audiences around the world with not only Hollywood films\, but with lavish movie theaters owned and operated by the major American film companies. \nNew Canaan Library is pleased to welcome Professor Ross Melnick\, University of California\, Santa Barbara\, as he speaks about the cultural impacts\, both positive and negative\, that American films and the impressive theaters they were shown in had around the globe. The live webinar will take place on Thursday\, March 24 at 7 PM EST; register at newcanaanlibrary.org for Zoom sign in. \nIn a history that stretches from Buenos Aires and Tokyo to Johannesburg and Cairo\, Professor Melnick considers these movie houses as cultural embassies. Aimed at providing a quintessentially “American” experience\, these theaters were outfitted with American technology and accoutrements\, which allowed local audiences to watch American films in an American-owned cinema in a distinctly American way. In his book\, Hollywood Embassies\, (April 2022 publication) Melnick demonstrates that while Hollywood’s marketing of luxury and consumption often struck a chord with local audiences\, it was also frequently tone-deaf to new social\, cultural\, racial\, and political movements. \nRoss Melnick is professor of film and media studies at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. He is the author of American Showman: Samuel “Roxy” Rothafel and the Birth of the Entertainment Industry\, 1908–1935 (Columbia\, 2012) and coeditor of Rediscovering U.S. Newsfilm: Cinema\, Television\, and the Archive (2018).
