Postwar Social Changes Chapter 13 Section 1

Society and Culture As a reaction to WWI, society and culture in the USA and elsewhere underwent rapid changes During the 1920s, new technologies helped create a mass culture and to connect people around the world American culture was characterized by a greater freedom and willingness to experiment

Jazz Age Women Liberation One symbol of this new age was jazz Another symbol was the liberated young woman called the flapper, a woman who rejected old ways in favor of new freedoms Labor-saving devices freed women from household chores In this new era of emancipation, women pursued careers

Louis Armstrong A Well Known Jazz Musician

The term flapper in the 1920s referred to a "new breed" of young women who wore short skirts, bobbed their hair, listened to what was then considered unconventional music and flaunted their disdain for what was then considered "decent" behavior. The flappers were seen as brash in their time for wearing excessive makeup, drinking hard liquor, treating sex in a more casual manner, smoking cigarettes, driving automobiles, and otherwise flouting conventional social and sexual norms.

Prohibition Speakeasies Not everyone approved of the freer lifestyle of the Jazz Age For example, Prohibition (period of banned drinking, manufacturing, and selling of alcohol) was meant to keep people from the negative effects of drinking Instead, it brought about organized crime and speakeasies (illegal bars where patrons had to speak [and drink] “easy” or softly to avoid being heard by the authorities)

Prohibition Prohibition In the United States (1920–1933) was the era during which the United States Constitution outlawed the manufacture, transport, and sale of alcoholic beverages. The term also refers to legal prohibitions against alcohol imposed by its various states, and the surrounding social-political movements advocating the passage of prohibition. Selling, manufacturing, or transporting (including importing and exporting) alcohol for beverage purposes was prohibited by the Eighteenth Amendment.

Prohibition

Speakeasy A speakeasy was an establishment that was used for selling and drinking alcoholic beverages during the period of United States history known as Prohibition (1920-1933, longer in some states), when the sale, manufacture, and transportation of alcohol was illegal. The term comes from a patron's manner of ordering alcohol without raising suspicion — a bartender would tell a patron to be quiet and "speak easy".

Literature New literature reflected a powerful disgust with war To some postwar writers, the way symbolized the moral breakdown of Western civilization Other writers experimented with stream of consciousness – a writer presents a character’s random thoughts and feelings without imposing any logic or order Some notable authors of this period include T.S. Eliot, James Joyce, and Langston Hughes

Harlem Renaissance In the cultural movement called the Harlem Renaissance, African American artists and writers expressed pride in their culture and explored their experiences in their work (a cultural “awakening”)

Christian Fundamentalism Christian fundamentalism support traditional Christian ideas about Jesus and believe that all of the events described in the bible are literally true Fundamentalist preachers traveled around the USA and held spiritual revival meetings The radio was used to spread fundamentalist teachings in the early 1900s Some people, however, did not believe that the events in the bible are literally true

Scopes Trial A biology teacher, John Scopes, was placed on trial for teaching evolution in his classroom instead of creationism in 1925 in violation of a Tennessee law Scopes was found guilty in this famous trial (aka “The Scopes Monkey Trial”) The Scopes Trial showed the strength of Christian fundamentalism sweeping across the country The case was thus seen as both a theological (religious) contest and a trial on the veracity of modern science regarding the creation-evolution controversy

The Scopes Trial

Scientific Discoveries New scientific discoveries challenged long-held ideas Marie Curie and others found that atoms of certain elements spontaneously release charged particles Albert Einstein argued that measurements of space and time are not absolute Italian physicist Enrico Fermi discovered atomic fission Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928, a nontoxic mold that killed bacteria to treat infections and diseases

Alexander Fleming (1881-1955)

Albert Einstein

Scientific Discoveries Sigmund Freud pioneered psychoanalysis, a method of studying how the mind works and treating mental illness Dr. Sigmund Freud

Western Artists In the early 1900s, many Western artists rejected traditional styles that tried to reproduce the real world For example, Vasily Kandinsky’s work was called abstract It was composed of only of lines, colors, and shapes—sometimes with no recognizable subject

In his own words, "Composition VII" was the most complex piece he ever painted (Kandinsky 1913)

Composition X. For the background of his last great composition, painted during WWII, Kandinsky selected black, the colour of death. (Kandinsky 1939)

Western Artists Dada artists rejected tradition and believed that there was no sense or truth in the world Another movement, surrealism, tried to portray the workings of the unconscious mind In architecture, Bauhaus buildings based on form and function featured glass, steel, and concrete, but little ornamentation

Surrealism

Dada Dada thought that reason and logic had led people into the horrors of war (World War I), so the only route to salvation was to reject logic and embrace anarchy and irrationality If the world was so logical and rational, how can it be that the world became involved in such a destructive, terrible war?
