It argues that the tune’s history and accumulated use in films enabled Hollywood to employ it in an increasingly com- plex manner to evoke essential questions about female sexuality, class, and race. Recent critical writing on American cinema has focused attention on the struc- tures of racial coding of gender and on the ways in which moral transgressions are routinely characterized as “black.” As Eric Lott points out in his analysis of race and film noir: “Raced metaphors in popular life are as indispensable and invisible as the colored bodies who give rise to and move in the shadows of those usages.” Lott aims to “enlarge the frame” of work conducted by Toni Morrison and Ken- neth Warren on how “racial tropes and the presence of African Americans have shaped the sense and structure of American cultural products that seem to have nothing to do with race.”1 Specifically, Lott builds on Manthia D iawara’s argument that “film is noir if it puts into play light and dark in order to exhibit a people who become ‘black’ because of their ‘shady’ moral behaviour.2 E.

Robert Toll, one of the first critics to examine minstrelsy seriously, was so appalled by its inherent racism that he focused his 1974 work primarily on debunking the stereotypes; Sam Dennison, another pioneer, did likewise with coon songs. Richard Martin and David Wondrich claim of minstrelsy that “the roots of every strain of American music—ragtime, jazz, the blues, country music, soul, rock and roll, even hip-hop—reach down through its reeking soil” (5).

  • “To Be an American”: How Irving Berlin Assimilated Jewishness and Blackness in His Early Songs
    “To Be an American”: How Irving Berlin Assimilated Jewishness and Blackness in his Early Songs A document submitted to The Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in the Performance Studies Division of the College-Conservatory of Music 2011 by Kimberly Gelbwasser B.M., Northwestern University, 2004 M.M., University of Cincinnati, 2006 Committee Chair: Steven Cahn, Ph.D. Abstract During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, millions of immigrants from Central and Eastern Europe as well as the Mediterranean countries arrived in the United States. New York City, in particular, became a hub where various nationalities coexisted and intermingled. Adding to the immigrant population were massive waves of former slaves migrating from the South. In this radically multicultural environment, Irving Berlin, a Jewish- Russian immigrant, became a songwriter. The cultural interaction that had the most profound effect upon Berlin’s early songwriting from 1907 to 1914 was that between his own Jewish population and the African-American population in New York City. In his early songs, Berlin highlights both Jewish and African- American stereotypical identities. Examining stereotypical ethnic markers in Berlin’s early songs reveals how he first revised and then traded his old Jewish identity for a new American identity as the “King of Ragtime.” This document presents two case studies that explore how Berlin not only incorporated stereotypical musical and textual markers of “blackness” within two of his individual Jewish novelty songs, but also converted them later to genres termed “coon” and “ragtime,” which were associated with African Americans.

What you all need is rhythm!" "Wh- wh- what do you all mean, rhythm?" "Ha ha ha ha. I'll show you what I mean!" (music) NARRATOR: The mammy … the pickaninny … the coon … the sambo … the uncle: Well into the middle of the twentieth century , these were some of the most popular depictions of black Americans By 1941, when this cartoon was made, images like these permeated American culture. These were the images that decorated our homes, that served and amused and made us laugh. Taken for granted, they worked their way into the mainstream of American life. Of ethnic caricatures in America, these have been the most enduring. Today there's little doubt that they shaped the most gut-level feelings about race. LEVINE: When you see hundreds of them, uh in all parts of the country persisting over a very long period of time, they have to have meaning. They obviously appeal to people. They appeal to the creator, but the appeal also to the consumers, those who read the car - look at the cartoons, or read the novels, or buy the artifacts.

Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), December, 1994, 144 pp., 62 illustrations, bibliography, 109 titles. The evolution of twentieth century American music involves much more than the continuation of European tradition. The music of black Americans before and after the turn of the century had a profound impact on the musical sensibility of American culture in general. Additionally, the fledgling popular music publishing industry had a dramatic effect on the course of "classical" tradition. Nowhere was this more apparent than in the music of George Gershwin. Gershwin's importance in the history of American art music is undisputed.

  • Selling the Sounds of the South: the Visual and Verbal Rhetoric of Race Records and Old Time Records Marketing, 1920-1929
    Selling the Sounds of the South: The visual and verbal rhetoric of Race Records and Old Time Records marketing, 1920-1929 Luke Horton Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Dec, 2011 School of Historical and Philosophical Studies University of Melbourne Abstract In the early 1920s, the phonograph industry in America began producing two very distinct record catalogues of racially segregated Southern vernacular music, one called Race Records and the other called Old Time (or 'Old Time Tunes', 'Songs of the Hills and Plains', 'Familiar Tunes Old and New' and towards the end of the decade simply 'hillbilly' records). In the marketing for these new catalogues, two completely separate streams of Southern music were presented, one purely white and one purely black, a separation that denied any possibility or history of the intermingling of the races, a bifurcation of a shared tradition which became a revision of Southern history, and a segregation in keeping with the race policy of the Jim Crow era. ‘Selling the Sounds of the South’ argues that the verbal and visual rhetoric of the marketing for these new catalogues of music (contained not only in catalogues themselves, but in advertisements, window displays, and other promotional material), presented a unique utilisation of Southern images that offered a new definition of Southern black and white music. While heavily reliant on existing constructions of white and black musical culture, the creation of these catalogues involved the recasting of major cultural tropes and resulted in an intertextual construct that itself was something new.
