Description
The
rise
of
motion
pictures
during
the
1910s
and
1920s
was a
critical
component
of an
emerging
consumer
culture
in the
United
States
that
coincided
with its
broader
transformation
from a
rural
to an
urban
society
.
Because
of this
conjuncture
,
silent
movies
depicting
agrarian
life
were
instrumental
in
establishing
new
understandings
of the
countryside
for a
modern
,
urban
nation
. These
films
resonated
with
city
audiences
,
particularly
those
who
had been
raised
on the
farm
, as
well
as with
rural
and
small-town
moviegoers
, and they
performed
important
cultural
work
by
helping
to
reconcile
both
groups
to
vexing
social
changes
.
Besides
providing
comfort
in a
time
of
transition
,
however
,
rural
films
also
helped
facilitate
the
new
order
by
subverting
traditional
understandings
of
agrarian
life
and
distancing
it
from its
previous
position
at the
core
of
American
culture
.
Hal
Barron
, a
noted
rural
historian
and
author
of
several
books
in the
field
,
recently
gave
this
talk
as his
Presidential
Address
for the
Agricultural
History
Society
.
