It examines the form assumed by the ghosts of the past in fiction from a range of genres (travel writing, detective fiction, life writing, historical fiction, women's writing) produced within metropolitan France, and assesses the implications of haunting for French cultural memory.French fiction20th centuryHistory and criticismFrench fictionFrench-speaking countriesHistory and criticismPostcolonialism in literatureImperialismPsychological aspectsColonies in literatureLiterature and historyFranceHistory20th centuryPostcolonialismFrancePostcolonialismFrench-speaking countriesElectronic books.French fictionHistory and criticism.French fictionHistory and criticism.Postcolonialism in literature.ImperialismPsychological aspects.Colonies in literature.Literature and historyHistoryPostcolonialismPostcolonialism843/.91409Barclay Fiona1973-902660MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456468503321Writing postcolonial France2017850UNINA04549nam 22005892 450 991045331440332120151002020704.00-7486-7067-X1-281-94772-597866119477290-7486-3132-1(CKB)1000000000554429(EBL)380400(OCoLC)437240916(SSID)ssj0000102471(PQKBManifestationID)11124993(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000102471(PQKBWorkID)10060032(PQKB)11366718(UkCbUP)CR9780748631322(StDuBDS)EDZ0000092795(MiAaPQ)EBC380400(Au-PeEL)EBL380400(CaPaEBR)ebr10257697(CaONFJC)MIL194772(EXLCZ)99100000000055442920130321d2008|||| uy| 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAmerican thought and culture in the 21st century /edited by Martin Halliwell and Catherine Morley[electronic resource]Edinburgh :Edinburgh University Press,2008.1 online resource (xii, 324 pages) digital, PDF file(s)Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 02 Oct 2015).0-7486-2602-6 0-7486-2601-8 Includes bibliographical references (p. 307-317) and index.Introduction : The next American century? / Martin Halliwell, Catherine Morley -- pt. 1: Politics.

Will American power and ideas dominate the globe in the coming years? Or is the prestige of the United States likely to crumble beneath the pressure of new international challenges? This ground-breaking book explores the changing patterns of American thought and culture at the dawn of the new millennium, when the world's richest nation has never been more powerful or more controversial. It brings together some of the most eminent North American and European thinkers to investigate the crucial issues and challenges facing the United States during the early years of our new century. From the subterranean political shifts beneath the electoral landscape to the latest biomedical advances, from the literary response to 9/11 to the rise of reality television, this book explores the political, social and cultural contours of contemporary American life - but it also places the United States within a global narrative of commerce, cultural exchange, international diplomacy, ideological conflict and war. These eighteen new essays address such pressing issues as leadership, foreign policy, propaganda, religion, health, technology, immigration, 9/11 culture and digital media. Searching for the roots of our contemporary concerns, the authors look back to the Clinton years and even earlier periods of twentieth-century American life. But they also look forward to the new horizons of the century to come - to the unanticipated dangers of a global future and to the soaring possibilities of American enterprise and imagination.American Thought & Culture in the 21st CenturyUnited StatesCivilization21st century973.93Halliwell MartinMorley Catherine1977-UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910453314403321American thought and culture in the 21st century2034535UNINA
