The New American Exceptionalism
ISBN: 9780816627837 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. For a half century following the end of World War II, the seemingly permanent cold war provided the United States with an organizing logic that governed nearly every aspect of American society and culture, giving rise to an unwavering belief in the nation's exceptionalism in global affairs and world history. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, this cold war paradigm was replaced by a series of new ideological narratives that ultimately resulted in the establishment of another potentially endless war: the global war on terror. In The New American Exceptionalism, pioneering...

Revisionary Interventions into the Americanist Canon
ISBN: 9780822314936 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Throughout the era of the Cold War a consensus reigned as to what constituted the great works of American literature. Yet as scholars have increasingly shown, and as this volume unmistakably demonstrates, that consensus was built upon the repression of the voices and historical contexts of subordinated social groups as well as literary works themselves, works both outside and within the traditional canon. This book is an effort to recover those lost voices. Engaging New Historicist, neo-Marxist, poststructuralist, and other literary practices, this volume marks important shifts in the...

National Identities and Post-Americanist Narratives
ISBN: 9780822314929 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. National narratives create imaginary relations within imagined communities called national peoples. But in the American narrative, alongside the nexus of belonging established for the national community, the national narrative has represented other peoples (women, blacks, "foreigners," the homeless) from whom the property of nationness has been removed altogether and upon whose differences from them the national people depended for the construction of their norms. Dismantling this opposition has become the task of post-national (Post-Americanist) narratives, bent on changing the assumptions...

Cultures of United States Imperialism
ISBN: 9780822314134 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 680 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "Cultures of United States Imperialism" represents a major paradigm shift that will remap the field of American Studies. Pointing to a glaring blind spot in the basic premises of the study of American culture, leading critics and theorists in cultural studies, history, anthropology, and literature reveal the "denial of empire" at the heart of American Studies. Challenging traditional definitions and periodizations of imperialism, this volume shows how international relations reciprocally shape a dominant imperial culture at home and how imperial relations are enacted and contested within the...

Hemispheric Imaginings: The Monroe Doctrine and Narratives of U.S. Empire
ISBN: 9780822334842 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 195 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In 1823, President James Monroe announced that the Western Hemisphere was closed to any future European colonization and that the United States would protect the Americas as a space destined for democracy. Over the next century, these ideas--which came to be known as the Monroe Doctrine--provided the framework through which Americans understood and articulated their military and diplomatic role in the world. "Hemispheric Imaginings" demonstrates that North Americans conceived and developed the Monroe Doctrine in relation to transatlantic literary narratives. Gretchen Murphy argues that...

The Futures of American Studies
ISBN: 9780822329657 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 632 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Originating as a proponent of U.S. exceptionalism during the Cold War, American Studies has now reinvented itself, vigorously critiquing various kinds of critical hegemony and launching innovative interdisciplinary endeavors. The Futures of American Studies considers the field today and provides important deliberations on what it might yet become.

The Public Life of Privacy in Nineteenth-Century American Literature
ISBN: 9780822335498 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Stacey Margolis rethinks a key chapter in American literary history, challenging the idea that nineteenth-century American culture was dominated by an ideology of privacy that defined subjects in terms of their intentions and desires. She reveals how writers from Nathaniel Hawthorne to Henry James depicted a world in which characters could only be understood--and, more importantly, could only understand themselves--through their public actions. She argues that the social issues that nineteenth-century novelists analyzed--including race, sexuality, the market, and the law--formed integral...

Redeemer Nation in the Interregnum: An Untimely Meditation on the American Vocation
ISBN: 9780823268160 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Redeemer Nation in the Interregnum interrogates the polyvalent role that American exceptionalism continues to play after 9/11. Whereas American exceptionalism is often construed as a discredited Cold War-era belief structure, Spanos persuasively demonstrates how it operationalizes an apparatus of biopolitical capture that saturates the American body politic down to its capillaries. The exceptionalism that Redeemer Nation in the Interregnum renders starkly visible is not a corrigible ideological screen. It is a deeply structured ethos that functions simultaneously on ontological, moral,...

The American Renaissance Reconsidered
ISBN: 9780801839375 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (dostawa w 2025) The term American Renaissance designates a period in our nation's history when the literary -classics- appeared--works -original- enough to mark a beginning for America's literary history. But the American Renaissance, Donald Pease argues in his introduction, does not belong to the nation's secular history so much as it denotes a rebirth from it: -Independent of the time kept by secular history, the American Renaissance keeps what we could call global Renaissance time--the sacred time a nation claims to renew, when it claims its cultural place as a great nation existing within a...
