Charles Bukowski and European Art
Charles Bukowski’s drawing and painting deserve greater attention. He was well-versed in European art, showing the influence of Matisse, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Degas, not only in his subjects but also the style of his own work. His aphorism of “painting like a canary swallowed by a cat” explains how he disciplines topics with style
Álvaro Santana-AcuñaAscent to Glory
Books in Review trajectories in the aftermath of the attack. Although tightly knit and fast-paced, very much in the style of a crime novel, this text is less invested in illuminating the cause of the titular event and more oriented toward using the event to interrogate several pressing issues of our times: the role of dissent in a democracy, media trials, the appeal of populist politics, mob lynching, and the limits of civil liberties, among othe…
Americanization
“Americanization” is a particularly fraught term, often used casually to describe events or processes that are actually the effects of modernity or globalization, such as product branding and personnel practices. The spread of McDonald's and Starbucks and the global reach of films produced in the United States are examples: They represent franchising and distribution systems as much as cultural values. Used in this broad sense, “Americanization” …
The Neustadt Prize and the Framing Effect

It was there that a young Ivar Ivask, poet and scholar, negotiated the linguistic tsunamis of Swedish, Polish, German, and Russian that accompanied invasions. The nation was, said Marek Tamm, “born out of translation” (Diplomaatia , March 2010). Despite all those colonizers , Ivask noted, the Estonian language survived , one of the oldest in t…
Americanization
The word “Americanization” has been in use since US colonial times, but its ideological meaning has changed repeatedly. Shortly after the Revolutionary War, it was used to describe two aspects of the new nation. On one hand, the united colonies needed to create a common culture and to embrace further self‐fashioning. Common denominators in law, weights and measures, currencies, and even building materials had to be agreed upon, and people had to …
Mobile Phones as Narrative Tropes
Thirty years after their invention, mobile phones now appear in narrative film and fiction, but in modes at odds with their actual uses in daily life. They have become ciphers, clues, tropes for change of scene, and in films such as The Departed, masks allowing characters to assume different personae
How "American" Is Globalization
William Marling's provocative work analyzes-in specific terms-the impacts of technology and culture on foreign societies. Marling answers his own question-how American is globalization?-with two seemingly contradictory answers: than you think and more than you know. Deconstructing the myth of global Americanization, he argues that despite the typically belief that the United States dominates foreign countries, the practical effects of Americaniza…
