Beschreibung:
Christine Sprengler is Professor of Art History at Western University and the recipient of the Graham and Gale Wright Distinguished Scholar Award. She is the author of Screening Nostalgia and Hitchcock and Contemporary Art, as well as essays on cultural memory and nostalgia, cinematic installation art, and the relationship between cinema and the visual arts. Her current research explores artists' critical interventions in artificial intelligence and machine learning.
The 1950s as a cultural concept has surged with astonishing force over the last half century. Cultural and political investment in the postwar era has been heavily determined by the desires, anxieties, ideologies, and technologies of the contexts in which they surface. Author Christine Sprengler explores how contextualizing factors shaped the 1950s in different ways, and how cinematic representations spearheaded, challenged, or intervened in our cultural memories of it.
