Living the Twenties The 1920s were surprisingly similar to the 2020s. How can they help us navigate these troubled times?【電子書籍】[ Sarah Zama ]
<p><strong>The 1920s were a lot like us.</strong></p> <p>1920s people went through dramatic changes that left the world a different place from what it was before. They knew uncertainties and even fears, but also great excitement and potentialities.?????????<br /> They faced challenges very similar to ours: the changing role of different social groups, a great change in the way people communicate, the intrusion of the machine in everyday life with the consequent depersonalisation. They faced a world that shrunk as it globalised a little more every day and a feeling of loneliness in the new city environments.</p> <p>It may have been one hundred years ago, but it feels very close to home.</p> <p>This is why I think that learning about the Twenties and their anxieties may tell us a lot about ourselves, about the insecurities we are facing today, and maybe give us some hope for the future.</p> <p>“The 1920s” meant as a phenomenon was born and eventually bloomed particularly in the Western World, but they rubbed off on many other societies around the world.<br /> Therefore, while in this book I focus primarily on the American and the European 1920s, I tried to offer glimpses of how this phenomenon manifested in different parts of the world.</p> <p>It’s interesting how many cultures adopted this new outlook on life and how each culture interpreted it in its own way, according to its agenda. The only thing that I see emerging over and over again is the spur to change, a yearning for greater freedom of expression, and a fascination with everything ‘different’.</p> <p>The book is organised alphabetically. Every word covers an aspect of the Twenties that characterised it uniquely. It isn’t meant to be exhaustive in any way, but I hope that it will help to give a more complete, more complex image of what was far more than Prohibition, gangsters and gin.</p> <p>You’ll find here:</p> <ul> <li>The New Woman, as she manifested in different parts of the world</li> <li>The aftermath of WWI, which so greatly shaped this decade</li> <li>The pressure of nationalistic ideas in Europe ? and elsewhere</li> <li>The many ways in which everyday life changed and became more similar to ours</li> </ul>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
