Almost an American legend. 520 $a "From James Dean to Jared Leto, only one acting style has entered the lexicon of the casual moviegoer: "Method acting." In this manuscript, Justin Rawlins offers the first reception-based analysis of acting, investigating how the concept of "the Method" entered popular film discourse and became part of the establishment of a "serious actor" brand--one reserved for white, male actors and yet associated with rebellion and marginalization. Drawing on extensive archival research, Rawlins traces the construction of mainstream understandings of Method acting, using well-known actors and Hollywood figures (e.g., Marlon Brando, Hedda Hopper, and James Dean) while also bringing forgotten names to the fore"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Method acting $x History. 650 0 $a Method acting $x Press coverage. 650 0 $a Method acting $x Influence. 650 0 $a Motion picture acting $x History. 650 0 $a Motion picture actors and actresses $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Motion picture audiences $z United States $x History. 650 7 $a Method acting $2 fast 650 7 $a Motion picture acting $2 fast 650 7 $a Motion picture actors and actresses $2 fast 650 7 $a Motion picture audiences $2 fast 651 7 $a United States $2 fast 655 7 $a History $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Rawlins, Justin Owen. $t Imagining the Method. $b First edition $d Austin : University of Texas Press, 2024 $z 9781477328514 $w (DLC) 2023010654 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240320011058.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3842A430E67F11EE94C7D61345ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
