This collection of essays in American Studies investigates how American cultural production intersects with public memory. The contributions present the results of diverse fields of research. While most are literary analyses, others focus on film, art works, monuments, and other means by which public memory is shaped. The essays in this collection also analyze travel writings, records of political history, and the ways American agricultural landscape preserves traces of the country’s past.
Tomasz Basiuk is a literary and cultural studies scholar, whose work is focused in postmodernism and queer studies.
Sylwia Kuźma-Markowska works on social American history with a strong interest in gender-inflected aspects of American society.
Krystyna Mazur has written on American poetry and film. She is working on a project about lesbian poets in Modernism.
All three teach at the American Studies Center of the University of Warsaw.
