Cinematic Imaginations: American Literature and the Visual Media, 1905-1945

19世纪末新视觉媒体的出现，以及它们在20世纪的快速发展和工业化，迫使传统的文学形式发生了变化。这个项目调查了美国背景下的变化，作为一组相互关联的改编，在文学和电影中，在新兴的大规模生产经济中更普遍的社会变化。为一个？传媒生态?，该项目的独创性在于建立一个可行的模型来分析文化面貌的这种转变，就文化经济的爆炸性扩张而言。

The advent of new visual media in the late C19th, and their rapid growth and industrialization in the 20th, obliged the traditional forms of literature to change. This project investigates that change in the American context, as a set of interlinked adaptations, in both literature and cinema, to more general social changes in an emergent mass-production economy. Arguing for a ?media ecology?, the project's originality is to establish a viable model for analysing this shift in the complexion of a culture, in terms of an explosive expansion of the cultural economy.
