New Orleans is a truly unique city, which is perhaps why there are so many "Crescent Cities" around the world. For nearly 150 years, writers, artists, cultural brokers, and entrepreneurs have drawn on and simultaneously contributed to New Orleans' fame and popularity by recreating the city in popular media, including literature, photographs, plays, movies, television shows, and theme parks. This book is aimed at students and fans of the city and popular culture.
Popular New Orleans explores three pivotal moments in the history of New Orleans in popular media. The first is the creation of the popular image of the Crescent City during the late nineteenth century in the local-color writings published in Scribners Monthly/Century Magazine. The second is the translation of this image into three-dimensional immersive spaces during the twentieth century in Disney's theme parks and resorts in California, Florida, and Japan. The third is the radical transformation of this image following Hurricane Katrina in public performances such as Mardi Gras parades and operas.
Popular New Orleans covers visions of the Crescent City from George W. Cable's "Old Creole Days" stories (1873-1876) to Disney's New Orleans Square (1966) to Rosalyn Story's opera "Wading Home" (2015). It traces how popular images of New Orleans have changed from exceptional to exemplary.
In conclusion, New Orleans is a unique city that has been recreated in popular media for nearly 150 years. Popular New Orleans examines three pivotal moments in this history, exploring how popular images of the city have changed from exceptional to exemplary. Whether you are a student of the city or a fan of popular culture, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the rich and complex history of New Orleans.
