Science/Fiction/Politics: Jules Verne’s Floridas
In From the Earth to the Moon (1865), Jules Verne imagined a fictional Floridian site, a high desert plateau on which to build the gigantic space gun that would send astronauts to the moon. In North Against South (1886), the liquid, labyrinthine eco-system of the Everglades served as a backdrop to the Civil War. Both texts produced contradictory and complementary figurations of the Sunshine State, ancient and modern, arid and watery, traversed by…

The System of Francophobia
The “Déjà views” theme incites us to reflect on the repetitive nature of American discourses on France, on the fact that they occur and recur in strikingly similar forms during the long history of French-American relations. Moreover, many of the negative perceptions of France are closely interrelated, making up what might be called the “system of Francophobia.” The following remarks are attempts to underline both the systematicity and the histori…

Vies fictionnelles, vies historiques: Limites Et Cas Limites

Fast Cars, Clean Bodies: Decolonization and the Reordering of French Culture
Fast Cars, Clean Bodies examines the crucial decade from Dien Bien Phu to the mid-1960s when France shifted rapidly from an agrarian, insular, and empire-oriented society to a decolonized, Americanized, and fully industrial one. In this analysis of a startling cultural transformation Kristin Ross finds the contradictions of the period embedded in its various commodities and cultural artifacts -- automobiles, washing machines, women's magazines, f…

The Resistance to French Theory in the United States: A Cross-Cultural Inquiry
The development in recent French-American intellectual relations that I would like to examine in this essay is the strange fate of what in this country sometimes goes by the name of Theory. By strange, I mean that what was originally a corpus of very demanding, and more than often arcane, philosophical and critical texts from a foreign has given rise over the course of the last decade to one of the most hotly debated domestic issues in recent Ame…
Extreme-Occident: French Intellectuals and America
What does mean to French intellectuals? Is it a postmodern ideal situated beyond history and metaphysics? A source of spiritual decadence that threatens the European tradition? Or is it Extreme-Occident, the Far Western site that gives historical reality to the utopias of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment? Jean-Philippe Mathy offers a systematic examination of French texts that address matters relating to America. He shows how prominent Frenc…
