Marginalisation and Utopia in Paul Auster Jim Jarmusch and Tom Waits The Other America

Marginalisation and Utopia in Paul Auster Jim Jarmusch and Tom Waits The Other America

This book explores how three contemporary American artists through the mediums of film literature and popular music have contributed to the tradition of American progressivism and provides an invaluable companion to the understanding of complex issues such as inequality and social and economic decline that are apparent in America today. Connecting the works of these artists through a fictional country – the ‘Other America’ – the book shows how they have refuted middle-class values and goals of success money and social affirmation to unveil the less celebrated dark side of contemporary America which despite the troubles currently faced never loses hope for a better future. This utopic vision in the face of adversity is explored through the plots characters and mis-en-scène of Auster and Jarmusch’s work and Waits’s lyrics and sound. This vision challenges the dominant narratives of America as the land of opportunity and values democracy civic engagement communitarianism and egalitarianism. Offering an important new perspective to literature on contemporary American culture this book will be of interest to students and scholars of American studies film studies popular music postmodern literature cultural studies and sociology. | Marginalisation and Utopia in Paul Auster Jim Jarmusch and Tom Waits The Other America
