Abstract

This essay explores how mass culture entered into and informed the intellectual and artistic scenes of (early) American modernism. To do so, it examines the case study of The Smart Set, a little magazine that situated itself deliberately at the boundary between avant-garde and entertainment culture and that engaged in a pronounced modernization of the popular narrative codes of the day. In doing so, the chapter argues, the little magazine drew upon and messed with mass culture’s gendered vocabulary, bringing forth an inadvertent ‘queering’ of the discourse at large.
