Memory that haunts and memory that saves : the case of Louise Erdrich and Cristina García
Autorzy:
Gondor-Wiercioch, Agnieszka
Opis:
In my article, I focus on the different trajectories of cultural memory in the novels of Native American Louise Erdrich's The Painted Drum (2005) and Cuban-American Cristina García's The Agüero Sisters. Their protagonists not only have to face the individual trauma of the past, but also the collective trauma of their people. Both Faye Travers and Old Shaawano in Erdrich's novel live on in the memories of their beloved deceased, although they sometimes may not realize this, and this is what they have in common with the protagonists of García's novel, Constancia and Reina Agüero and their father Ignacio. All these characters try to cope with their grief in different ways, but in order to face the ghosts of their past, they need to excavate the buried histories of America, which are connected to some extent with the European conquest and colonization. Thus they travel in time and space to find out that the texture of their memories is grafted onto religious syncretism (the animistic tradition of Ojibwe in the case of Erdrich and the rites of santería in the case of García). The narratives include both feminine and masculine memories which are contrasted, but not according to the division lines typical for radical feminism.

Opis:
The article raises the problem of American imperialism. The author proposes a new approach to the issue. He states research should concentrate on understanding, taking into consideration mental, intellectual and emotional aspects. As an example, the author provides an analysis of argumentation of proimperial elite of United States from the turn of 19th and 20th century. As a background of that analysis, drawing on methodological approach of Ferdynand Braudel, the author also provides an outline of imperialism in the United States. Likewise, he points at psychological mechanism of cognitive dissonance as important factor in forming the argumentation. The author notes it was focusing on proving imperialism to be moral. He identifies main areas of argumentation: (1) identification imperialism with the expand of an American model of political system, which was considered to be ideal; (2) bringing civilization to the uncivilized nations; (3) presenting imperialism as a mission from God; (4) referring to the law of nature; (5) justifying expansion with the safety issue; (6) referring to the idea of New Manifest Destiny.

Opis:
Since its inception, International American Studies (IAS) had to define itself against the larger backdrop of global or world studies. However, as Paul Giles notes in his contribution to this special issue of RIAS marking the 10th anniversary of the journal and devoted to “International American Studies and the Question of World literature,” “World Literature in its current institutional manifestation is a much more recent phenomenon” than IAS, and may have “accumulated academic prestige more rapidly and securely than International American Studies has so far managed.”  Whatever their different temporal and institutional trajectories, however, both IAS and World literature may be seen as efforts to come to terms with the momentous historical, political, social, and technological changes of the past few decades. Put simply, both can be considered attempts to fashion new epistemological tools better suited to making sense of a globalized world, so that, no matter how (relatively?) different their objects of study might be, a set of theoretical concerns would appear to be shared by both fields. Both students of IAS and World Literature, for example, need to venture beyond the traditional categories of the nation and of national cultures, by coming to terms with the social, historical, and linguistic complexities that such a move entails. Both have to do so in a way that “opens” one’s field and yet preserves its raison d’être, especially at a time when the humanities are under attack and the defense of academic positions and credentials-all calls for “interdisciplinarity” notwithstanding-is of paramount importance. Both need to rethink the parameters of their disciplinary specializations, that is, without pulling the institutional rugs from under their feet-a precarious balancing act which, in the age of the corporate university, with its rage for classifying, evaluating, and ranking, is far from easy to perform.

Rent parties, old settlers and jitterbugs : the everyday life of African Americans after their exodus to Northern cities as preserved in oral histories, 1917-1945
Autorzy:
Mamczur, Patryk
Opis:
The author aims to portray the Great African-American Migration by showing the everyday life of the migrants. Starting from presenting the different ways of migrating North, he later describes conditions in which the migrants lived in the Northern cities, relationships with their non-Black neighbours and with the so-called Old Settlers (meaning African Americans who had lived in the North before the Great Migration), their economic struggle, ways of overcoming the problems, as well as the distinctive culture which the migrants eventually developed, and the ferment which these cultural changes created in the whole American society. The narration is based mostly on the oral histories collected from numerous Northern cities: Albany (New York), Chicago (Illinois), Cincinnati (Ohio), Cleveland (Ohio), Detroit (Michigan), Milwaukee (Wisconsin) and New York (New York).

From domination to contestation : the changing faces of American popular culture in Poland after 1989
Autorzy:
Szymkowska-Bartyzel, Jolanta
Wydawca:
Cambridge Scholars Publishing
Opis:
The paper aims to describe and critically reflect on the presence of American popular culture in Poland after 1989. It systematizes Polish experience with American cultural texts, and analyzes their forms and functions within the context of rapidly changing reality during transformation of the political and economic system. During first 15 years after entering free market economy American pop culture provided Poles with new patterns they could follow in new reality. American pop culture became the mainstream culture and a modernization force. However, after 2004, when Poles entered the European Union and reoriented their aspirations, seeking to satisfy them within European culture, American texts have lost its leading power becoming one of many cultural products in the global cultural offer available for Polish users.

Opis:
This contribution features a transatlantic conversation between Christof Mauch, environmental historian and Americanist from Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich, and Lawrence Buell, literary scholar and “pioneer” of Ecocriticism from Harvard University. Buell’s The Environmental Imagination: Thoreau, Nature Writing, and the Formation of American Culture (1995) marked the first major attempt to understand the green tradition of environmental writing, nonfiction as well as fiction, beginning in colonial times and continuing into the present day. With Thoreau’s Walden as a touchstone, this seminal book provided an account of the place of nature in the history of Western thought. Other highly acclaimed monographs include Writing for an Endangered World (2001), a book that brought industrialized and exurban landscapes into conversation with one other, and The Future of Environmental Criticism: Environmental Crisis and Literary Imagination (2009), which provides a critical survey of the ecocritical movement since the 1970s, with an eye to the future of the discipline.
