Jonathan Rees interprets the ice business that flourished from the 1850s through the…

  • From Autos to Architecture

    Jeffrey L MeikleARTICLEJournal of Design History2010

    Unlike most architectural history surveys, which tend to focus on a progression of aesthetic styles exemplified in classic buildings by major architects, From Autos to Architecture employs a Marxist base/superstructure model to situate twentieth-century architecture in economic, social and cultural contexts. David Gartman, a historical sociologist, explores architecture's relationship to three successive phases of capitalist organization: an earl…

  • Transatlantic Refractions

    Open AccessJeffrey L MeikleARTICLEEuropean Journal of American…2010

    This article analyses a variety of ways in which the “road movie” has been reinterpreted by modern European directors (German Wim Wenders, Finn Aki Kaurismäki) or American director Jim Jarmusch with his pronounced European sensibilities. Despite the ubiquity of American popular culture in many of these movies, the films themselves are far from representing a simple “colonization” on the part of American culture. The ambivalent view of the United …

  • Leo Marx's The Machine in the Garden

    Jeffrey L MeikleARTICLETechnology and Culture2003Citada por: 2

    Nearly two decades ago, a fast-food chain made advertising history with a feisty old woman gesturing at a rival company's hamburger and demanding, "Where's the beef?" Upon rereading Leo Marx's classic The Machine in the Garden: Technology and the Pastoral Ideal in America, which has remained continuously in print since 1964, a similar question startlingly arises: Where's the machine? As it turns out, "the machine" and the workings of "technology"…
