Yet just as this myth of the Old South crystallized in photographs like Johnston's, a New South shaped by popular culture and modern industry arose. Miami embodied both of these visions. In Wolcott's work, agricultural fields where stoop labor persisted were juxtaposed with Art Deco hotels, a popular modernism of the machine age that remade Miami Beach into a miniaturised \"Manhattan on the beach.\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Pennsylvania Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46138863550722,"sku":"BK-UOP-BAEPAL-001-E","price":5.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/6226\/3204\/files\/IMG_2933_e37b722d-85f4-4411-8658-3754bb11ee51.jpg?v=1748454386"},{"product_id":"fandomania-characters-cosplay","title":"Fandomania: Characters \u0026 Cosplay (Rare edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eElena Dorfman\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoftcover | \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e21 x 2.3 x 28 cm | 144 pp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAperture | 2007 | 9781597110358\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eFandomania\u003c\/em\u003e, photographer Elena Dorfman examines the pop culture phenomenon of \"cosplay,\" in which participants dress up in costumes and live part of their lives as characters from video games, animated films, and Japanese graphic novels.
