"In arriving at structuralism, literary studies simply join the
general tendency of contemporary thought. Throughout almost the entire
realm of contemporary scholarship the discovery of the dynamic
relations which pervade its material has proven to be an effective
modus operandi ? for example, in the disciplines of the arts and in
general aesthetics, in psychology, sociology, linguistics, economics,
and even in the natural sciences" (J. Mukarovský, 1934)

America in the Modernist Imaginary

Freud visited in 1909, enjoying the cinema, but complaining about the richness of the food; Henry Miller dubbed it the
“Air-Conditioned Nightmare”; in America Day By Day, Simone de Beauvoir admires drugstore food but condemns class
inequality and racial strife; in Lolita Vladimir Nabokov documents his own affections for American kitsch culture; Gertrude
Stein struggled to win over the American reading public, but wrote afterward that “In America everybody is [a celebrity]
but some are more than others. I was more than others.”
