Fleeger, Jennifer (Assistant Professor of Media Studies, Assistant Professor of Media Studies, Ursinus College, Philadelphia PA, USA)
Sounding American: Hollywood, Opera, and Jazz looks at the role played by 1920s musical shorts in crafting studio identity and establishing American film sound. It argues that the persistence of opera and jazz on the soundtrack during and after the conversion produces a fragmentary text and encourages an active spectator.
