520 Frères Ennemis focuses on Franco-American tensions as
portrayed in works of literature. An Introduction is
followed by nine chapters, each focused on a French or
American literary text which shows the evolution/
devolution of the relations between the two nations at a
particular point in time. While the heart of the analysis
consists of close textual readings, social, cultural and
political contexts are introduced to provide a better
understanding of the historical reality influencing the
individual novels, a reality to which these novels are
also responding. Chapters One through Five, covering a
period from the mid-1870s to the end of the Cold War,
discuss significant aspects of the often fraught
relationship from the theoretical perspective of Roland
Barthes' theory of modern myth, described in his
Mythologies. Barthes' theory helps situate Franco-American
tensions in a paradigmatic structure, while at the same
time it is supple enough to allow for shifts and reversals
within the paradigm. Subsequent chapters explore new
French attitudes toward the powerful, potentially dominant
influence of American culture on French life. In these
sections I argue that recent French fiction displays more
openness to the American experience than has existed in
the past, and as such contrasts with the more static
American approach to French culture.
