Monroe’s western films contributed to mid-century domestic ideology for both men and women, firstly by featuring an independent, career-oriented woman as a prominent western co-star who ends her films no longer working in saloons and nightclubs but safely ensconced in the home, and secondly by advancing the western project of domesticating not the landscape but the male hero. Monroe’s star persona, as a sexy but not manipulative woman, when shifted into western films, shepherds the hypermasculine cowboys through a process of becoming more vulnerable, willing to choose domestic life, and more suited to a mid-century lifestyle. At the same time, for women, Monroe embodied the independent woman who would only be lured away from her career dreams by a companionate partnership of equals. During a time when both men and women had to adjust to shifting gender roles, western films starring Marilyn Monroe made those changes attractive. This article discusses how Monroe’s western films reflect mid-century gender ideology.","PeriodicalId":29897,"journal":{"name":"COMPARATIVE AMERICAN STUDIES","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135717866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While these films are set in Canada, feature Canadian characters, and purport to tell Canadian stories, they are structured around the conventions of the standard Hollywood Western. The Canada-US border regularly plays a pivotal role in the Northern, a pattern that weights these films with important implications for the self-understanding of American audiences. An emphasis on the border implies to viewers that Canada and Canadian history derive meaning from the context of the US. Thus, proximity to the US and Americans becomes an essential feature for understanding Canada. The broad impact of this tendency is to reconfigure the Canadian setting as the American frontier. It reduces the country to an inert, wilderness backdrop and naturalizes the presence of the iconic American cowboy in Canadian territory. Canada becomes the scene wherein epic struggles between good and evil and between order and chaos are decided by American virtues of strength, freedom, and individualism. In this process, the Hollywood Northern generates a sanctified and exaggerated understanding of American agency and scripts Canada as a natural and inevitable outlet for the projection of American power and authority.","PeriodicalId":29897,"journal":{"name":"COMPARATIVE AMERICAN STUDIES","volume":"13 1","pages":"107 - 121"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1179/1477570015Z.000000000102","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65792906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Once adopted as canonical texts in the US academy from the 1980s on, Bulosan's radical edge was blunted in critical readings of his work, his subversive tendencies sanitized to promote a conformist multiculturalism. We need to recover a submerged decolonizing strand in the history of Filipino deracination, sedimented in Bulosan's testimonies. This essay seeks to excavate those oppositional impulses in Bulosan's works by re-contextualizing them in the anti-colonial revolutionary movement of Filipinos dating back to the revolution of 1896; to the Filipino-American War together with the peasant insurgencies during the first three decades of US occupation (1899–1935); and in the popular-front mobilization during the US Great Depression up to the onset of the Cold War. Re-situated in their historical-biographical milieu and geopolitical provenance, Bulosan's oeuvre acquires immediacy and resonance.","PeriodicalId":29897,"journal":{"name":"COMPARATIVE AMERICAN STUDIES","volume":"6 1","pages":"123 - 143"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2008-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1179/174126713X13789815098586","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65849647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
