Let`s talk about: The American West
Come along and join our discussion group at vhs club INTERNATIONAL! A short introductory presentation will offer insight into select issues and current topics in US society and culture. The following discussion will offer a great and fun way to practice your English language skills on an advanced level and to learn about different perspectives. Everyone is welcome. You don’t have to be an expert on the US, just bring an open mind and plenty of questions!
Rather than specify a geographical region, the term ‘American West’ designates one of the US’s foundational mythologies: Fictionalizations, reiterations, and reappropriations of the country’s 19th-century westward expansion pervade US-American culture. As a powerful idea, the American West not only perpetuates notions of freedom and democracy, but also serves to justify US-American imperialism and supremacism. With an eye to its representations in popular culture, we will discuss how perceptions of the American West continue to influence and shape US politics and society.
