The new HBO series The Gilded Age revolves around a rivalry between “ Old New York, ” represented by the fictional character of Agnes van Rhijn (played by Christine Baranski), and the Russell family, led by George Russell (played by Morgan Spector), who stand in for the era ’ s “ New Rich. ” While business dealings serve as background to the story, the show ’ s main focus is the social intrigues of its women in a world where appearance, etiquette, and social networks capture the audience ’ s attention. Like The Gilded Age , Elizabeth L. Block ’ s Dressing Up puts the women of the era — and their dresses — at the center of its narrative. Block ’ s new book frames the wealthy elites who shaped the Gilded Age economy, culture, and politics as consumers, and focuses on the wives and daughters of elite businessmen and financiers. Such an emphasis allows Block not only to insert women and women ’ s agency more meaningfully into Gilded Age history, but also to explore the economic consequences of the fashion trade. In Block ’ s narrative, elite women were more than a passive manifestation of Thorstein Veblen ’ s “ conspicuous consumption. ” They were active players in a transatlantic network of commerce, power, and privilege that allowed them a position of influence within U.S. society by turning fashion and the dresses they wore into cultural capital. Dressing Up is both a study of the French couture industry and an examination of the role American women played in its development. Block rightly moves away from focusing on couture designers as omnipotent geniuses to focus instead on the social life of garments themselves. This method of “ follow the dresses ” allows her to spotlight the relationships enabled by fashion, bringing labor, gender, space, consumer culture, and performance together into her analysis. Rather than looking at the construction of the garments themselves, Block situates them within a
HBO的新剧《镀金时代》(The Gilded Age)围绕着以虚构人物艾格尼丝·范·莱辛(Agnes van Rhijn，克里斯汀·巴兰斯基饰)为代表的“旧纽约”和以乔治·罗素(George Russell，摩根·斯佩克特饰)为代表的“新富人”罗素家族之间的竞争展开。虽然商业交易是故事的背景，但这部剧的主要焦点是女性在一个外表、礼仪和社交网络吸引观众注意力的世界里的社会阴谋。就像《镀金时代》一样，伊丽莎白·l·布洛克的《盛装打扮》把那个时代的女性——以及她们的服装——放在了叙事的中心。布洛克的新书将塑造镀金时代经济、文化和政治的富有精英视为消费者，并将重点放在精英商人和金融家的妻子和女儿身上。这样的强调使布洛克不仅可以将女性和女性代理更有意义地插入镀金时代的历史，而且还可以探索时尚贸易的经济后果。在布洛克的叙述中，精英女性不仅仅是Thorstein Veblen“炫耀性消费”的被动表现。他们是跨大西洋商业、权力和特权网络的积极参与者，通过将时尚和服饰转化为文化资本，他们在美国社会中占据了影响力地位。《打扮》既是对法国高级定制行业的研究，也是对美国女性在其发展过程中所扮演角色的审视。布洛克正确地从关注时装设计师作为无所不能的天才转向关注服装本身的社会生活。这种“跟随服装”的方法使她能够聚焦时尚所带来的关系，将劳动，性别，空间，消费文化和表演一起纳入她的分析中。Block并没有关注服装本身的结构，而是将它们放在一个

Abstract Young women growing up in the Gilded Age and Progressive Era increasingly found their relationships subject to scrutiny as doctors, parents, teachers, and school administrators began to worry about the so-called abnormal girl. Attempts to suppress the culture of crushes and romantic friendships between young women reflected these larger cultural anxieties about their relationships. But, as notions of normative girlhood began to form, this intense scrutiny of their relationships had a significant impact on their everyday lives. The young women who were navigating this scientific and cultural shift developed a range of innovative strategies from subversively concealing their relationships to boldly pursuing their queer desires.

Abstract In November 1915, popular Baltimore minister and anti-vice reformer Kenneth G. Murray became enmeshed in scandal after he allegedly attempted to engage in sex with another man at the Y.M.C.A. The revelation of Murray’s alleged queerness became a flashpoint in ongoing contestations over anti-vice reform and the legitimacy of using state power to enforce Christian morality. In the hands of his political opponents, most notably H.L. Mencken, Murray’s apparent homosexuality became a tool for vindicating long-standing assertions that men who campaigned for state-enforced morality were hypocritical and motivated in their activism by sexual and gendered pathologies. In tracing print reactions to Murray’s public exposure, this essay argues that homosexuality proved to be a powerful political weapon against progressive anti-vice campaigning like Murray’s because it was capable of reconciling competing stereotypes of religiously motivated anti-vice reformers as simultaneously overly sexual and impotent, feminized and pathologically masculine. The Murray scandal also opened the door for critiques of muscular Christianity, which made it an early example of how the sexual diagnosis of religious figures and reformers could be used to discredit social and religious activism.
1915年11月，巴尔的摩著名牧师、反恶习改革家肯尼斯·默里(Kenneth G. Murray)卷入丑闻，据称他试图在基督教青铜会(ymca)与另一名男子发生性关系。默里所谓的酷儿身份的曝光，成为有关反恶习改革和使用国家权力强制执行基督教道德合法性的持续争论的导火索。在他的政治对手——最著名的是h·l·门肯(H.L. menken)——手中，穆雷明显的同性恋身份成为了一种工具，用来证明长期以来的断言是正确的:那些为国家强制道德而竞选的人是虚伪的，他们的行动是受到性和性别病态的驱使。在追踪媒体对穆雷公开曝光的反应时，这篇文章认为，同性恋被证明是一种强大的政治武器，可以对抗像穆雷这样进步的反恶习运动，因为它能够调和宗教驱动的反恶习改革者的刻板印象，即同时过度性和无能，女性化和病态男性化。穆雷丑闻也为批评强硬的基督教打开了大门，这使它成为一个早期的例子，说明宗教人物和改革者的性诊断可以用来诋毁社会和宗教激进主义。

or lionized the white vigilantes and policemen who hunted down and killed Charles, destroyed Black institutions, and solidified white New Orleanian’s grip over the city. In the aftermath of the riot, African Americans faced draconian laws that segregated streetcars by race, for instance. African Americans who broke segregation laws faced a $1,000 fine or nine months in the notorious Parchment Prison, and there is evidence that policemen patrolled African American barrooms, music clubs, and neighborhoods more thoroughly and punitively. Over the following decades, many refused to confront the historical legacy of the riot. As late as 2015, Democratic Mayor Mitch Landrieu had not acted on calls for a historical marker commemorating the riot’s victims. Black New Orleanians kept alive the memory of the riot, however. African American jazz and blues musicians portrayed Charles as a heroic Black defender and a “seemingly harmless little fellow” (183). Their songs fingered the police officers “who didn’t like coloured people” (183) as culprits. But present activism can awaken old memories. Following the rise of Black Lives Matter and widespread protests in the aftermath of the George Floyd murder in the summer of 2020, Mayor LaToya Cantrell issued a formal proclamation apologizing to the victims of the Charles Roberts Riot and unveiled a new historical marker designed to keep alive the memories of the violence for generations to come.

easy task, and results were mixed. Barton’s account of the challenges Wilson faced as he tried to build, maintain, and pay for infrastructure in early twentieth-century Berkeley will be informative—and familiar—for anyone who follows California politics. Confronted with the challenges posed by rapid growth and industrialization, early twentieth-century reformers, including Christian socialists such as Wilson, proposed a range of solutions. In California as inmuch of the country, new political alliances formed, dissolved, and reconstituted themselves. Though riven by arcane debates and infighting, these reformers, and the voters they attracted, left a lasting imprint on the development of California and onAmerican politicsmore broadly. Barton’s detailed account shows us the rich creative environment within American reformmovements and reveals how activists such as Wilson developed and disseminated and attempted implementing new ideas. Confronted with the mixed results of Wilson’s administration, Barton also provides sobering lessons on the challenges of coalition-building to bring new ideas into the realm of practical policy.
