This unit, whose title could be “Imagined America”, adopts a mostly cultural approach, focusing on the perceptions of America prevailing both among its inhabitants and in Europe during the last centuries. The dynamics of attraction/repulsion brought about by these “images” of the U.S. influenced historical processes and at the same time revealed deep-rooted aspects of the cultures involved on both sides of the Atlantic.
