Description:Throughout the last decade, observers of American culture have drawn attention to an emerging an apparent shift from postmodern irony and play to a revalorization of the real and authentic. This "turn" in cultural values has been linked to general conservative tendencies and the after-effects of September 11 as well as a lingering sense of crisis following post- Cold War triumphalism.

In close readings and case studies, contributions hone in on aspects of American contemporaneity particularly shaped by discourses of authenticity. Topics include the significance of things in a world constituted via media representations, the prominence of trauma theory, renewed interest in autobiography, the pathos of religious experience, and efforts to define ethnicity as a source of authentic feeling.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
