美帝国主义的文化代表了一个主要的范式转变，将重新绘制美国研究领域。文化研究、历史、人类学和文学领域的主要批评家和理论家指出了美国文化研究基本前提中的一个明显盲点，揭示了美国研究核心的“否认帝国”。挑战帝国主义的传统定义和分期，本书展示了国际关系如何在国内相互塑造占主导地位的帝国文化，以及帝国关系如何在美国制定和竞争。这些文章借鉴了广泛的解释实践，涵盖了美国历史，从欧洲对新世界的描述到波斯湾战争的大众媒体奇观。这本书打破了对外关系研究和美国文化之间的界限，将帝国主义作为文化挪用的内部过程和对国际权力的外部斗争进行了研究。作者探讨了大陆和国际扩张、征服和抵抗的政治如何塑造了美国文化的历史，就像它所统治的那些文化一样。通过揭示美国文化与国际关系之间的辩证关系，本书展示了将帝国主义作为一个政治或经济过程来分析的必要性，这个过程与国内性别、种族、民族和阶级的社会关系和文化表征是分不开的。贡献者。琳达·布兹、玛丽·扬科·布兰宁、比尔·布朗、威廉·凯恩、埃里克·谢菲茨、维森特·迪亚兹、弗雷德里克·埃林顿、凯文·盖恩斯、黛博拉·格韦茨、唐娜·哈拉威、苏珊·杰弗兹、迈拉·杰伦、艾米·卡普兰、埃里克·洛特、沃尔特·本·迈克尔斯、唐纳德·皮斯、维森特·拉斐尔、迈克尔·罗金、何塞·大卫·萨尔迪瓦、理查德·斯洛特金、多丽丝·索默、高利·维斯瓦纳坦、普莉希拉·沃尔德、肯尼斯·沃伦、克里斯托弗·p·威尔逊
Cultures of United States Imperialism represents a major paradigm shift that will remap the field of American Studies. Pointing to a glaring blind spot in the basic premises of the study of American culture, leading critics and theorists in cultural studies, history, anthropology, and literature reveal the "denial of empire" at the heart of American Studies. Challenging traditional definitions and periodizations of imperialism, this volume shows how international relations reciprocally shape a dominant imperial culture at home and how imperial relations are enacted and contested within the United States. Drawing on a broad range of interpretive practices, these essays range across American history, from European representations of the New World to the mass media spectacle of the Persian Gulf War. The volume breaks down the boundary between the study of foreign relations and American culture to examine imperialism as an internal process of cultural appropriation and as an external struggle over international power. The contributors explore how the politics of continental and international expansion, conquest, and resistance have shaped the history of American culture just as much as the cultures of those it has dominated. By uncovering the dialectical relationship between American cultures and international relations, this collection demonstrates the necessity of analyzing imperialism as a political or economic process inseparable from the social relations and cultural representations of gender, race, ethnicity, and class at home.
