40258 - Culture II: On Novelty and Transformation
Mon, August 11, 8:00 to 9:30am, West Tower, Hyatt Regency Chicago, Floor: Concourse Level/Bronze, ColumbianDescription
How does cultural change happen? And how can culture catalyze change? The papers in this session take on these longstanding questions. They do so by tracing the production, circulation, and reception of novelty and transformation in realms from food and music to religious beliefs and literature. These papers address patterns of diffusion of New Age beliefs, changes in literary production during the Gilded Age, efforts to make sense of novel foods, movements to overhaul how people in the US eat, and the analysis of music in movements for change.
