Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

In 1991, Reinhold Wagnleitner, a historian from Salzburg, coined the term "Coca-Colonization" to describe how addiction to American popular culture in post-World War II Europe made the political and economic dominance of the United States even more pervasive than it otherwise might have been. Ever since the creation of the United States, Europeans have both admired the American polity and economy and at the same time feared that the U.S. would leave its mark on their own societies, robbing them of their uniqueness. What was coined Americanization gave way to the present fear of Globalization which can also be traced to pre-modern roots.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

We will explore why Americanization was perceived in Europe as an assault upon tradition, variety, and (elite) culture by analyzing 19th and 20th-century primary texts and current contributions to an on-going political debate.
