L'Onoups signale la tenue d'un panel sur le cinéma et les médias américains dans le cadre du Congrès de l'Association canadienne de science politique qui se tiendra à l'Université Carleton, Ottawa.
Studying US popular culture may bear important lessons and enable crucial debates about past and present day global politics; hence, fiction could blur even more the clash with reality when one analyzes it politically. Whilst American Studies has extensively used films, novels, and music to study US foreign policy, this outlook is fairly new for International Relations. Conversely, this panel seeks expertise from diverse (sub)fields such as diplomatic history, international political theory, cultural studies, American Studies, and political geography to address the topic of US popular culture head on. In so doing, it wishes to interrogate how national security and identity interact in several cultural artefacts – films,
magazines, novels, music, ads, television shows, news media, and so on. These cultural productions will offer themselves as cogent and pedagogical objects of analysis to expose the ideologies, political identities, historical contexts, and cultures that (in)form US foreign policy issues.Programme du panel
