Abstract

Why did the novel become so popular in the past three centuries, and how did the American novel contribute to this trend? As a key provider of the narrative frames and formulas needed by modern individuals to give meaning and mooring to their lives. Drawing on phenomenological hermeneutics, human geography and social psychology, Laura Bieger contends that belonging is not a given; it is continuously produced by narrative. Against the current emphasis on metaphors of movement and destabilization, she explores the salience and significance of home. Challenging views of narrative as a mechanism of ideology, she approaches narrative as a practical component of dwelling in the world - and the novel a primary place-making agent. O-Ton: »US elections: is US media more polarized than the people?« - Laura Bieger in The Northern Times on 02.12.2020. Besprochen in: IDA-NRW, 4 (2018)

Abstract

L'étude explore l'influence de la culture américaine sur la littérature française contemporaine en se concentrant sur les œuvres de Joël Dicker, Maxime Chattam et Antoine Bello. Elle montre comment ces auteurs s'inspirent des codes du thriller américain pour aborder des thèmes universels tout en les réinterprétant à travers le prisme de la littérature française. L'analyse révèle que cette influence est le résultat d'une combinaison de facteurs, dont l'histoire culturelle, les dynamiques de réappropriation narrative, et la fascination pour l'imaginaire américain, bien au-delà du simple rôle des médias. Les œuvres étudiées se distinguent par leur capacité à intégrer ces éléments tout en conservant une identité littéraire propre, donnant ainsi à l'étiquette de "roman américain" une dimension qui transcende les frontières nationales. The study explores the influence of American culture on contemporary French literature, focusing on the works of Joël Dicker, Maxime Chattam, and Antoine Bello. It shows how these authors draw from the conventions of the American thriller to tackle universal themes while reinterpreting them through the lens of French literature. The analysis reveals that this influence results from a combination of factors, including cultural history, dynamics of narrative appropriation, and a fascination with the American imagination, far beyond the simple role of the media. The works examined are distinguished by their ability to integrate these elements while maintaining a distinct literary identity, giving the label of "American novel" a dimension that transcends national boundaries.

Abstract

This book interweaves a wide selection of the novels of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries with a series of cultural events ranging from Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show to the 'Southern Renaissance' of the 1930s. Minter examines a wide variety of period novels as works of art that arise from and that remain embedded in culture - arguing conversely, that cultural events such as the making of Chicago's Columbian Exposition and New York's Armory Show differ only in degree, not in kind, from novels. Minter thus constructs a broad and synthetic vision that portrays literary history as a cultural drama in which novels and events emerge as related sites of cultural expression. This book traces the history of African American theatre from its beginnings to the present. It analyses the types of plays written for this theatre, identifies the perennial problems faced by theatre artists and producing companies, and makes bold, innovative proposals for the theatre's healthy survival.
