Description
Gangsters, aviators, hard-boiled detectives, gunslingers, jazz and images of the American metropolis were all an inextricable part of the cultural landscape of interwar France. While the French 1930s have long been understood as profoundly anti-American, this book shows how a young, up-and-coming generation of 1930s French writers and filmmakers approached American culture with admiration as well as criticism. For some, the imaginary America that circulated through Hollywood films, newspaper reports, radio programming and translated fiction represented the society of the future, while for others it embodied a dire threat to French identity. This book brings an innovative transatlantic perspective to 1930s French culture, focusing on several of the most famous figures from the 1930s Рincluding Marcel Carn̩, Louis-Fernand C̩line, Pierre Drieu la Rochelle, Julien Duvivier, Andr̩ Malraux, Jean Renoir and Jean-Paul Sartre Рto track the ways in which they sought to reinterpret the political and social dimensions of modernism for mass audiences via an imaginary America.
