Method Men: Race, Gender, and Performance Style in U.S. Culture makes extensive use of primary archival materials to revise the prevailing history of Method acting and actors in American popular culture. This project deconstructs the canonical narrative of the Method's development and characteristics---its progressive politics and revolutionary postwar masculinities---to reveal the conservative white male exceptionalism underwriting its identity from the early 1920s into the late 1950s. To do this, Method Men integrates discourse analysis, textual analysis, and cultural history in an interdisciplinary approach to the popular reception of Method acting/actors. I analyze motion pictures, reviews, studio publicity, trade publications, viewer and exhibitor letters, performer diaries, and other primary materials to foreground the features of Method reception---what I call Methodness---and highlight their deceptively regressive dimensions. Method Men does more than contest popular and academic consensuses that posit Method acting to be an internally coherent and revolutionary postwar phenomenon. This project also expands and complicates larger film and media studies debates about performance by recuperating the importance of reception to its political stakes. It presses for substantial re-evaluation of moving images as secondary texts within---rather than gravitational centers of---a more expansive cosmos of contested culture making and identity formation.
