Antitypical America. Typology and Inter-American Literature and Film
Antitypical America establishes the persistence of typological modes of thought in inter-American literature and film dealing with the contested meaning of America. Writers and filmmakers from across the Americas use types and antitypes to dialogue with earlier narratives that define America as the New World. Whether these types are drawn from the vocabularies of religious narratives and iconographies or from ostensibly secular histories and images, their vitality demonstrates the tenacious influence of religiously inflected modes of thought on contemporary constructions of the meaning of America and American history.
