I never delved as deeply as I'd wish on cinema and, especially, the literature side of this. Here's the syllabus. I'll be posting lots of stuff I produced for that class - a summer workshop, one week, five nights, 5.5 hours a night. A real slugfest.
Interview on this course: note that the interviewer lets me briefly mention “baseball as the myth of industrializing America” but edits out everything I say about the topic. Good move; I'm sure I was incoherent.
If you'll recall, this was a one-week workshop and this was Monday's focus. I'll attach here the handout (with a short little essay at the end) and pdfs of the powerpoints I used.
This includes a short little essay on “the myth of industrializing America." I never did get this right but I do think there's something there. The last time I taught it, I think I made some advance. I'll try to include the fruits of that at some point
My favorite part of the course, gets at the civic-market conflict. Again, handout and pdfs of powerpoints.
