Abstract

The article presents the conference paper titled "Mickey Mouse and the French Identity" prepared for the "46th Annual ISA Convention" held in Honolulu, Hawaii. It examines how the French discursive resistance against the American pop culture provided France with an opportunity to reinforce its own cultural identity and reclaim a coherent political role. It discusses the penetration of American pop culture in France including the introduction of the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show in Paris in 1889.
