Bio/Research
Prof. Moore studies the history of the mass market and urban modernity in North America. Overall, his work argues that amusement and leisure help constitute modern publics by providing spaces, rhetorics, and logics for collective gathering. Recent research, Multicultural Moviegoing, tells the history of diasporic film and media distribution in Canada, such as Italian- and Chinese-language movie theatres. A new project considers Hollywood’s relation to Madison Ave. in print, radio & tv campaigns. Co-authored with Sandra Gabriele, The Sunday Paper: A Media History reviews how the weekend newspaper of the 1890s became a cultural technology, animating modernity, central to the institutionalization of mass society.
