American Culture’s Impact on Postwar France
This essay reads Jean Echenoz’s Cherokee as a novel that challenges the commonly held French belief during the Cold War that the American cultural invasion (food, movies, household appliances, clothing) along with the rampant consumerism these products encouraged, were a major threat to traditional French values. By turning his novel into a parodic form of a ciné-roman, Echenoz shows how the American Way of Life can relatively easily be absorbed …

Vichy's Afterlife
One of the distinctive features of the Syndrome - the persistence of the memory of the Vichy regime in French political and cultural life - is that it has been extremely difficult for an authoritative historical discourse to impose itself.

Although modern scholars have viewed the French Revolution of 1789 as an event that irrevocably altered the destiny of that nation, it seems today to remain an task, one that failed to completely achieve its goals of liberte, egalite, fraternite. These essays illustrate the theme of unfinished revolution in modern France from a variety of historical perspectives, all showing how the Revolution continues to influence that country to the present da…
Marketing la France profonde
The Ecole de Brive represents one of the most successful examples of marketing literary texts in recent years. The Ecole consists of eight authors all of whom publish with Editions Robert Laffont and write novels that deal with the rural France of bygone eras. Laffont has grouped these writers together, created a ‘school’ and then marketed their work as a healthy alternative to the overly introspective fiction produced by Parisian intellectuals. …

Des leurs premieres parutions, les fictions de Michel Tournier ont ete reconnues comme des ouvrages d'inspiration mythologique. Il est donc plutot surprenant qu'il n'existe pas d'etude approfondie de la place qu'occupe dans cette oeuvre le mythe le plus prestigieux de notre societe occidentale: celui du Dieu chretien qui, selon la theologie, se manifeste dans les trois hypostases de Pere, Fils et Saint-Esprit....
