摘要

This dissertation examines American consumer culture and its influences on images of women created in art and literature at the turn of the twentieth century. It is divided into four substantive parts and uses the methods and theoretical approaches from four separate disciplines: social history, social theory, literature and art. The study offers a cultural discourse of the period by analyzing the novels of Edith Wharton The House of Mirth, and The Custom of the Country, and Theodore Dreiser's Sister Carrie, and also looking into the paintings of American Impressionists and Realists. It interprets the fictional and visual portrayals of women in relation to the issues of display, spectatorship, material desires, and commodity exchange.;Chapter II concentrates on Wharton's novels and studies how the fundamentals of the consumer culture shape the relationship between men and women in the society. It employs the paradigm of display and spectatorship to construe the social and psychological realities of the novels' heroines---Lily Bart and Undine Spragg. The chapter centers the argument on the issues of marriage, its price and function, because both women must marry not only to gain respectable social status but also to fulfill their desires for money, material goods, and enjoyments.;Chapter III studies Dreiser's novel and explores how society constructs the individual's identity by means of material desires. It draws upon Dreiser's metaphor of the "walled city," an axis of money economy and desires, to demonstrate how the novel's heroine Carrie Meeber appropriates the city's sights and sounds to fuel her consuming desires and dream of attaining happiness.;While Chapter II and III investigate literary representations of women, Chapter IV analyzes the range of women's images, from upper class to working class, in the paintings of American Impressionists and Realists. It discusses the iconography of women with regard to issues of fashion, consumption, leisure, and beauty. The chapter shows how the works of American artists, similar to writers of the period, reveal the effects of consumer culture and gender ideology of the period as women displayed, expressed, negotiated, and asserted themselves in a male-dominated culture.;Chapter I provides a socio-historical overview of the period that gave birth to a modern consumer culture. It focuses on the rise of advertisement industry and the development of department stores that emphasized the acquisition of material goods and personal satisfaction. Furthermore the chapter explores how the commodity culture affected the place and role of women and why they became so susceptible to the demands of consumer capitalism.
机译：本文研究了美国的消费文化及其对二十世纪初艺术和文学作品中女性形象的影响。它分为四个实质部分，并使用来自社会历史，社会理论，文学和艺术四个不同学科的方法和理论方法。通过分析伊迪丝·沃顿的《欢乐之屋》，《乡村风俗》和西奥多·德雷泽的姐姐嘉莉的小说，并研究美国印象派和现实主义者的绘画，该研究提供了该时期的文化论述。它解释了女性在展示，观众，物质欲望和商品交换等问题上的虚构和视觉描写。第二章集中讨论了沃顿商学院的小说，研究了消费文化的基本原理如何塑造了男女之间的关系。社会。它采用展示和观看的范式来解释小说中女主人公-莉莉·巴特和翁丹·斯普拉格的社会和心理现实。本章围绕婚姻，婚姻的价格和功能等问题展开辩论，因为这两个女人都必须结婚，不仅要获得受人尊敬的社会地位，而且必须满足其对金钱，物资和享乐的欲望。第三章研究了德莱塞的小说和小说。探索社会如何通过物质欲望来构建个人的身份。它借鉴了德莱瑟（Dreiser）对“围墙城市”的比喻，即金钱经济和欲望的轴心，以展示小说中女主人公凯莉·米伯（Carrie Meeber）如何利用城市的视线和声音来激发她的渴望欲望和实现幸福的梦想。第三部分研究了女性的文学表现形式，第四章分析了美国印象派和现实主义者绘画中从上层阶级到工人阶级的妇女形象的范围。它讨论了关于时尚，消费，休闲和美丽的女性形象。本章展示了与该时期的作家相似的美国艺术家的作品如何揭示当女性在男性主导的文化中进行展示，表达，谈判和主张自己时，消费文化和该时期的性别意识形态的影响。提供了产生现代消费文化的时期的社会历史概述。它着重于广告行业的兴起和百货商店的发展，其中强调了获得物质商品和个人满意度。此外，本章还探讨了商品文化如何影响妇女的地位和作用，以及为什么她们变得如此容易受到消费资本主义的要求。
