Latent Destinies – Cultural Paranoia and Contemporary U.S. Narrative de Patrick O`donnell

Latent Destinies – Cultural Paranoia and Contemporary U.S. Narrative: New Americanists

Autor Patrick O`donnell
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 oct 2000
Examines the formation of postmodern sensibilities and their relationship to varieties of paranoia that have been seen as widespread. This book argues that paranoia on the broadly cultural level is essentially a narrative process in which history and postmodern identity are negotiated simultaneously.

Recenzii

"Latent Destinies provides a careful, lucid, insightful analysis of a number of works of contemporary American authors and filmmakers, and situates their work within a complex theoretical matrix of social connections that enhance our understanding not only of the works under discussion but also of the conditions of contemporary American culture in which those works circulate." - Alan Nadel, author of Containment Culture: American Narratives, Postmodernism and the Atomic Age

Textul de pe ultima copertă

""Latent Destinies" provides a smartly informed paradigm for understanding postmodern U.S. narratives, both aesthetic and theoretical. Examining a representative sample of these, O'Donnell finds that they indulge a cultural paranoia that wags the tail of their late-capitalist "bete noire.""--Louis A. Renza, Dartmouth College
