American Experience - The Experience of America de Andrzej Ceynowa

American Experience - The Experience of America: Gdansk Transatlantic Studies in British and North American C, cartea 2

Andrzej Ceynowa

Marek Wilczynski

This volume comprises a collection of essays by Polish, Ukrainian, Russian, Belarussian, and American scholars in the fields of American Studies, literary history, art history, and political science. It is focused on the topic of experience as a concept related to the United States and analyses US history, literature, film, art, politics, and society. The essays deal with a wide range of problems and types of representation, from experience as a component of various theoretical discourses through the experience of foreign visitors and recent immigrants for whom America has often been a place of the Other. The volume once again proves that experience has been one of the key categories of American cultural self-understanding.
