"(Anti-)Americanisms" is a collection of articles presented during
the international conference of the Austrian Association for
American Studies in 2002. Focusing on the various propagations of
American culture in literature, music, film, "the new media,"
architecture, politics, and ways of life, these essays question the
notion of (Anti-)Americanism as an object-oriented construct, a
convenient vehicle used to transport ideology. The spectrum of
topics includes the historical dimensions of European
Anti-Americanism, roots of Anti- Americanism in post-World-War II
Austria, and the relationship between Anti-Americanism and American
Studies.
