No Single Trajectory
Transnational and Transmedia Explorations of the American West
Series: - European Perspectives on the United States, Volume: 10
This book presents papers by eleven European scholars that explore the ambivalent representations of an American West that follows âno single trajectory, creating instead a series of lines and rhythms, always moving, crossing, and foldingâ (Neil Campbell).
The papers explore the use of the American West as an ideal or a realistic setting in different cultural productions, ranging from music (âSing-along Melodies of the Westâ) to film (âWestern Images in Motionâ) or comics (âGraphic Representations of the American Westâ), and including popular cultural fields like podcasts, fashion, and gastronomy (âPerforming the Westâ).
