The papers given at the international conference of the Austrian Association for American Studies address the topical issue of the formative influence of the individual and collective past on contemporary authors and explore the impact of individual and communal memories on Americans from colonial times to the modern ethnic experience. Special attention is thus paid to the universal inclination to commemorate the past and construct individual and collective identities on the basis of private and public material derived from it. The key-note lectures provide a context for the multiple attempts by American writers to root individual and/or collective identities in the past, and explore the collective heritage of members of a region, an ethnic group or of the American nation as such. |
