Hardback. Condition: New. Disrupting the intervenor narrative in Appalachian studies.The Appalachian Mountains attracted an endless stream of visitors in the twentieth century, each bearing visions of what they would encounter. Well before large numbers of tourists took to the mountains in the latter half of the century, however, networks of missionaries, sociologists, folklorists, doctors, artists, and conservationists made Appalachia their primary site for fieldwork. In Proving Ground, Edward Slavishak studies several of these interlopers to show that the travelers' tales were the foundation of powerful forms of insider knowledge. Following four individuals and one cohort as they climbed professional ladders via the Appalachian Mountains, Slavishak argues that these visitors represented occupational and recreational groups that used Appalachia to gain precious expertise. Time spent in the mountains, in the guise of work (or play that mimicked work), distinguished travelers as master problem-solvers and transformed Appalachia into a proving ground for preservationists, planners, hikers, anthropologists, and photographers.Based on archival materials from outdoors clubs, trade journals, field notes, correspondence, National Park Service records, civic promotional materials, and photographs, Proving Ground presents mountain landscapes as a fluid combination of embodied sensation, narrative fantasy, and class privilege. Touching on critical regionalism and mobility studies, this book is a boundary-pushing cultural history of expertise, an environmental history of the Appalachian Mountains, and a historical geography of spaces and places in the twentieth century.…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No dust jacket. like new! appears unread, might be light wear to exterior, Support Independent Pacific Northwest Booksellers! Glued binding. Cloth over boards. 354 p. Contains: Illustrations. Body, Commodity, Text: Studies of Objectifying Practice. Audience: General/trade. Pittsburgh emerged as a major U.S. manufacturing centre at the turn of the twentieth century. Its rise as a leading producer of steel, glass, and coal was fuelled by machine technology and mass immigration, developments that fundamentally changed the industrial workplace. In the Steel City, where the major industries were almost exclusively male and renowned for their physical demands, the male working body came to symbolize multiple, often contradictory, narratives about strength and vulnerability, mastery and exploitation. Combining labour and cultural history with visual culture studies, Edward S. Slavishak explores how Pittsburgh and the working body were symbolically linked in civic celebrations, the research of social scientists, the criticisms of labour reformers, advertisements, and workers' self-representations. With "Bodies of Work", Slavishak chronicles a heated contest to define the essential character of the Steel City at the turn of the twentieth century: a contest conducted largely through the production of competing images. Slavishak focuses on the workers whose bodies came to epitomize Pittsburgh: the men engaged in the arduous physical labour demanded by the city's metals, glass, and coal industries. At the same time, he emphasizes how conceptions of Pittsburgh as quintessentially male limited representations of women in the industrial workplace. The threat of injury or violence loomed large for industrial workers at the turn of the twentieth century, and it recurs throughout "Bodies of Work": in the marketing of artificial limbs, statistical assessments of the physical toll of industrial capitalism, clashes between labour and management, the introduction of workplace safety procedures, and the development of a state-wide workmen's compensation system. …
