While stressing that these narratives are limited in their understanding of the processes of exclusion and unequal flux in experiences of modern automobility, the book works through four case studies in the American works of European-born authors Vladimir Nabokov, Robert Frank, Alfred Hitchcock, and Wim Wenders to unveil an early phenomenology of the postwar American highway, one that anticipates the works of late-twentieth-century spatial theorists Jean Baudrillard, Michel Foucault, and Marc Augé and sketches a postmodern aesthetic of western mobility and consumption that has become synonymous with contemporary America. 410 0$aStudies in Mobilities, Literature, and Culture 606 $aLiterature, Modern$x20th century 606 $aAmerica$xLiteratures 606 $aLiterature$xPhilosophy 606 $aMotion pictures$xHistory 606 $aCivilization$xHistory 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature 606 $aNorth American Literature 606 $aLiterary Theory 606 $aFilm and TV History 606 $aCultural History 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$x20th century. 615 0$aAmerica$xLiteratures. 615 0$aLiterature$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory. 615 0$aCivilization$xHistory. 615 14$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aNorth American Literature. 615 24$aLiterary Theory. 615 24$aFilm and TV History. 615 24$aCultural History. 676 $a809.93355 676 $a809.7 700 $aCourt$b Elsa$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0872314 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484719003321 996 $aThe American Roadside in Émigré Literature, Film, and Photography$91947559 997 $aUNINA
