"Cochran argues that these artists pioneered a detached, ironic sensibility in fictions that radically juxtaposed cultural references and blurred the distinctions between "high" and "low" art. Their works would play a crucial role in the emergence of not only a 1960s counterculture but also the postmodernism of a later era."--Jacket. 001381197 530__ $$aAlso issued online. 001381197 648_7 $$a1900-1999$$2fast 001381197 650_0 $$aAmerican fiction$$y20th century$$xHistory and criticism. 001381197 650_0 $$aPopular literature$$zUnited States$$xHistory and criticism. 001381197 650_0 $$aLiterature and society$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y20th century. 001381197 650_0 $$aDetective and mystery stories, American$$xHistory and criticism. 001381197 650_0 $$aMotion pictures$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 001381197 650_0 $$aFantasy fiction, American$$xHistory and criticism. 001381197 650_0 $$aFilm noir$$zUnited States$$xHistory and criticism. 001381197 650_0 $$aNoir fiction, American$$xHistory and criticism. 001381197 650_6 $$aRoman américain$$y20e siècle$$xHistoire et critique. 001381197 650_6 $$aParalittérature$$zÉtats-Unis$$xHistoire et critique. 001381197 650_6 $$aLittérature et société$$zÉtats-Unis$$xHistoire$$y20e siècle. 001381197 650_6 $$aCinéma$$zÉtats-Unis$$xHistoire. 001381197 650_6 $$aRoman policier américain$$y20e siècle$$xHistoire et critique. 001381197 650_6 $$aFilms noirs$$zÉtats-Unis$$xHistoire et critique. 001381197 650_6 $$aRoman fantastique américain$$y20e siècle$$xHistoire et critique. 001381197 650_6 $$aRoman policier noir américain (Genre littéraire)$$xHistoire et critique. 001381197 650_7 $$aAmerican fiction.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00807048 001381197 650_7 $$aDetective and mystery stories, American.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00891483 001381197 650_7 $$aFantasy fiction, American.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00920725 001381197 650_7 $$aFilm noir.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00924273 001381197 650_7 $$aLiterature and society.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01000096 001381197 650_7 $$aMotion pictures.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01027285 001381197 650_7 $$aNoir fiction, American.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01038353 001381197 650_7 $$aPopular literature.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01071405 001381197 65017 $$aUndergroundfilms.$$2gtt 001381197 65017 $$aRomans.$$2gtt 001381197 65017 $$aScenario's.$$2gtt 001381197 650_7 $$aUntergrundfilm$$2gnd$$0(DE-588)4186984-9 001381197 650_7 $$aUntergrundliteratur$$2gnd$$0(DE-588)4204547-2 001381197 650_7 $$aDrehbuchautor$$2gnd$$0(DE-588)4294338-3 001381197 650_7 $$aCinéma underground$$zÉtats-Unis$$y1945- ...$$2ram 001381197 650_7 $$aContre-culture$$zÉtats-Unis$$y1945- ...$$2ram 001381197 650_7 $$aRoman policier américain$$y1945- ...$$xHistoire et critique.$$2ram 001381197 65007 $$aFilm.$$2swd 001381197 651_7 $$aUnited States.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01204155 001381197 651_7 $$aUSA$$2gnd$$0(DE-588)4078704-7 001381197 651_7 $$aUSA.$$2swd 001381197 655_7 $$aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411635 001381197 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001381197 77608 $$iOnline version:$$aCochran, David, 1961-$$tAmerica noir.$$dWashington [D.C.] : Smithsonian Institution Press, ©2000$$w(OCoLC)607463963 001381197 852__ $$bgen$$hPS374.P63$$iC63 2000 001381197 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1381197$$pGLOBAL_SET 001381197 980__ $$aBOOK 001381197 980__ $$aBIB
