摘要

摘要:本文认为，美国主导的现代化进程的重要脚本不是由冷战时期的政治和学术精英注册的，而是由新政时期的低级文化生产者注册的。它精确地指出了由“野蛮医生”(1933-1949)主演的长期低俗杂志系列中与国际发展相关的关键人物、动机、情节主线和背景。通过历史分析和细读，这篇文章提供了一种全新的解释，即美国观众是如何将技术援助想象成美国实力的正确途径的，同时也揭示了支撑现代化议程对种族中立和自决的公开承诺的悖论。

Doc Savage Saves the World: A Pop Culture Origin Story for US Modernization and Development, 1933–1949

Abstract:This article contends that important scripts for US-led modernization were trademarked not by political and academic elites of the Cold War era, but rather by low-brow cultural producers of the New Deal period. It pinpoints key characterizations, motivations, plotlines, and settings associated with international development in the long-running pulp magazine series starring “Doc Savage” (1933–1949). Through historical analysis and close readings, the article offers a fresh account of how US audiences came to imagine technical assistance as a proper course for American power while also revealing paradoxes underpinning the modernization agenda's overt commitments to race neutrality and self-determination.
