This book examines transatlantic influences on 1930s French culture, focusing on the impact of American mass culture and media in the form of the gangster, the aviator, hard-boiled detective fiction, jazz and the Western on canonical French writers and filmmakers.
In 1930s France, the growing reach and influence of American media helped to form a new generation of artists and intellectuals who redefined what it meant to be modern and French. During this decade, France experienced their own Great Depression, which—along with other rippling effects of the First World War—stirred up a crisis of cultural identity. With Americanism, Media and the Politics of Culture in 1930s France, David A. Pettersen focuses on key figures, texts, and films of the 1930s to shed light on the evolution of modern French culture brought about by the influence of, and a deep engagement with, American mass media.
