ПРОНИКНУВАЊЕТО НА АМЕРИКОЦЕНТРИСТИЧКИТЕ КНИЖЕВНИ ПЕРЦЕПЦИИ ОД ТРАДИЦИЈАТА ВО СОВРЕМЕНОСТА
A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE LITERARY PROCESSES TIED TO THE AMERICOCENTRIC LITERARY PERCEPTIONS

Summary/Abstract: The research conducted aims at providing a typology regarding the status of American Literature within the context of traditional forms, stemming from the oldest indigenous civilizations, all the way to the intercultural transitions found at the onset of the so-called era of migrations, patterns still ongoing. From a present-day perspective, we can ascertain that conditions have been created to begin a process of interpreting the phenomenon of the Americocentric literary perceptions, since American Literature keeps affirming its integral cultural hegemony within global processes. This particular viewpoint is gaining ground since said literary-creative processes run parallel to the prestige associated with political supremacy, which in turn stems from the position of US society within the current world order. It seems as if the defining processes of the cultural-historic (that is to say literary) phenomena are rather complex, due to the complexity of their development within the space that is “the” contemporary state conglomerate, the United States of America (USA). However, viewed from afar, the same processes that marked the civilizational transformations within this space, and are a part of the world’s cultural history, can be observed through the clearly identifiable phrases and forms of the spiritual mergers present among the layered cultural substrates that create the traditional American cultural and historical, on the one hand, and contemporary identity, on the other.
