Memory, imagination and desire in contemporary Anglo-American literature and film

Edited by Constanza del Río-Álvaro and Luis Miguel García-Mainar.

This book includes contributions that focus on and problematise the dialogue between past, present and future in literary works and films produced within the English-speaking context in the last two decades of the 20th century. It is divided in five sections - maps of the postmodern, the postcolonial experience, stories revisited, popular narrative genres and views of the future - which attempt to include all the motifs associated with that dialogue, from the interaction of memory and history to the reformulation of old stories and forms, or the representation of dystopian and utopian futures. 285 Seiten, broschiert (Anglistische Forschungen; Band 337/Universitätsverlag Winter 2004)
