Sommario/riassunto

American Culture in the 1990's focuses on the dramatic cultural transformations of the last decade of the millennium. Lodged between the fall of Communism and the outbreak of the War on Terror, the 1990's was witness to America's expanding influence across the world but also a period of anxiety and social conflict. National traumas such as the Los Angeles riots, the Oklahoma City bombing and the impeachment of President Clinton lend an apocalyptic air to the decade, but the book looks beyond this to a wider context to identify new voices emerging in the nation.This is one of the first attempts

Sommario/riassunto

En août 2011 s’est tenue à Cerisy-la-Salle une décade « Narrations d’un nouveau siècle : romans et récits français, 2001-2010 » dont ce livre constitue les actes. À quoi ressemble une littérature qui accorde la part belle au roman mais sans exclusive générique, dans la concurrence de récits empruntant à tous les genres et de multiples arts ? Une littérature française parce qu’écrite en langue française, mais travaillée de l’intérieur et renvoyée à sa propre étrangeté par les évolutions de cette langue et les porosités multiculturelles que suscitent aujourd’hui des échanges mondialisés ? L’ouvrage rassemble les points de vue d’universitaires européens, canadiens et américains. Il se veut un observatoire critique des évolutions en cours de la littérature et un laboratoire théorique ouvert à différentes approches permettant d’en mesurer les enjeux en temps réel.
