“…School assumed a new importance and a new association with childhood. Parents of all social classes, in both Europe and the United States, had largely accepted this new attitude toward children by the late 19th century (Aries, 1962;Demos, 1986;Mintz & Kellogg, 1988). Parents rarely thought of childrenFprimarily, at leastFas economic assets.…”

Homework has been a topic of considerable controversy in 20th century American education, largely because it is a linchpin in the relationship between home and school. This essay examines parent opinions on homework between 1900 and 1960 in order to integrate parents’ elusive voices into the history of American education, and to shed new light on modern-day controversies regarding the school-family interface. The underlying question we explore is whether, in educational policymaking, the family ought to march to the beat of the school, or the school ought to march to the beat of the family? We conclude that if parents want homework, and if homework keeps parents in touch with the program of the school, then it is the abolition of homework -not its presence - that most threatens parents’ interests.

“…The 1920s and 1960s were the golden age of Hollywood, leaving behind many classics that formed the classic Hollywood film style. Meanwhile, the economy of the United States entered a boom in the 1920s, known as the Roaring Twenties, ending in the Great Depression [8] and returning to the golden age of capitalism after World War II [9]. With the rapid economic fluctuations, dreamers face opportunities and challenges, and Hollywood's film industry has created many famous stars and classic images with the rapid development of technology.…”

In the context of globalization, the public's demand for nostalgia has increased. Cinema has an advantage in conveying nostalgia by using visual and auditory stimulation and has become the main medium for nostalgia in modern society. In this paper, the first part is about nostalgia and nostalgic cinema. Depending on the subject that triggers the nostalgia, nostalgic cinema is simply divided into three categories. The reasons for the demand for nostalgia are discussed, which are related to the interval between reality and tradition, commercialism, and modernism. The other part is about the storytelling strategies of nostalgic cinema. Storytelling strategies of contemporary, nostalgic cinema are analyzed from the perspectives of color, frame, diegetic sound, and motif, respectively. Specific movies are used for analysis, data study, and cross-subject study are used in this paper. With the constant updating of information technology, views on the future direction of nostalgic cinema research are presented at the end of the paper.

“…Visions of childhood across time have also been intricately connected to racialized inequalities, resulting in Black children often being excluded from the view that children are innocent and in need of protection (Bernstein, 2011; Morgan, 2018; Webster, 2017). During slavery in the US, Black children engaged in different forms of labor, typically beginning around age 6, including caring for White children, caring for younger enslaved children, and working on plantations (Collins, 1994; Mintz, 2004; Mintz & Kellogg, 1988; Shaw, 1994). Indeed, some Black children continued to be enslaved or subject to indentured labor, even when their parents had obtained freedom (Hill, 2001; Mintz, 2004; Webster, 2017).…”

In 1996 Sharon Hays published The Cultural Contradictions of Motherhood describing the ideology of intensive mothering calling upon mothers to engage in a time‐intensive, expensive, and expert‐informed style of mothering. In this article, I describe the historical circumstances giving rise to intensive mothering and how structural and historical realities diverge across race and class. I argue that enactments of motherhood are varied, forming a mosaic of motherhood enactments informed by mothers' social locations, including their positions in racialized and classed hierarchies. Mothers operating from marginalized locations innovate and resist intensive mothering, while also being judged by these norms, despite often lacking the resources to meet them. Privileged, primarily White mothers, have been able to harness their resources to achieve intensive mothering and redefine what constitutes good mothering to match the style of mothering they practice. Among some privileged, predominantly White mothers, I contend an even more intense version of intensive mothering is being practiced, with some moving beyond being “expert informed” to positioning themselves as the experts who possess specialized knowledge superior to that of medical and educational experts. All told, I argue that mothering enactments are more diverse than is often portrayed by the concept of intensive mothering.
