Unease and Nostalgia: The Marketing of "Pure Food" in the United States, 1890-1920
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
This thesis examines the relationship between consumer culture and efforts to introduce legislation to regulate the production and labeling of American food products during the decades in the United States known as the Progressive Era.As food became increasingly mass-produced, consumer anxiety about contamination grew.Ultimately the federal government passed the Pure Food, Drink, and Drug Act in 1906 to ensure that Americanmade food items were produced in a hygienic manner and properly labeled.Using nostalgic modernism (characterized by scholars as a deeply-rooted impulse that causes Americans to simultaneously embrace and resist change) as a framework, my research demonstrates that the wide promotion of so-called "pure food" in the years both before and after the passing of this legislation reflects the pervasive ambivalence to modernity emblematic of this period.This project will demonstrate how food advertising reflected wider anxieties about a nation being reshaped by urbanization, industrialization, and corporate capitalism.I never thought I would be here.When I graduated from the University of Western Ontario many more years ago than I care to admit, I thought I was done with school.It is a cliché, but it is impossible to predict where life will take you.After a career as a journalist and writer, I decided I wanted a change and chose to pursue graduate studies in history.I enrolled in the MA program at Carleton under the supervision of Andrew Johnston, who, in a twist of fate, was once one of my professors at Western.In this sense, I feel like I have come full circle.I could not have researched and written this thesis without his support and guidance, and for this I am eternally grateful.He is one of the many wonderful faculty members in the history department at Carleton who have made my experience here such a fulfilling one.Acknowledgements must also be given to Susanne Klausen, whose insights and friendship have helped me immeasurably throughout the process of coursework, researching and writing a thesis, and applying to Ph.D programs.As well, in addition to their brilliant work and always helpful advice, Danielle Kinsey and Jennifer Evans have both shown me that it is possible to be a "cool academic" (I can't make it through anything without at least one Mean Girls reference).What is graduate school without the friends that you make along the way?Nick Hrynyk, it was fashion (of course) that brought us together that first week.I would be lost without you-you mean the world to me and I feel like I have known you for my entire life.I considered putting one of our many inside jokes in here, but I will be sincere for once and tell that I love you.Laura Lutes: we may disagree about many things, but we bonded over our shared neuroses and it was the start of a fabulous friendship.You will always be my favorite neighbor.

Prédiction machine sur la base complète
Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
