- Title
A Few Thoughts on the Future of French Studies.
- Authors
Goldhammer, Arthur
- Abstract
It is argued that the concept of 'French studies' originally embodied in this journal was born of a unique constellation of social, cultural, and political forces characteristic of the middle years of the Cold War. The unity of the field defined by that moment was subsequently challenged by tensions inherent in the shift to a more transnational comparative perspective. A return to a 'reflective equilibrium' between the local and the global anchored in an emphasis on language and culture is advocated.
