France has changed, but nonetheless it
has remained France. For the French, the fear of Americanization
persists. They want EuroDisney, but with a French accent.
Still, the American model of a New World has always been
a kind of mirror in which the French saw their
reflection. By inventing a totally materialistic and
vulgar America, the French distanced themselves from the
New World and so confirmed their superiority. They hoped
to be the negative image of their caricature of the
Americans. That is why the French have often asserted
themselves as the opposite of Americans. That is also why
the French identity
was linked to individualism, to humanism, to good taste,
to scepticism and above all to civilisation, all the
qualities the Americans were supposedly deprived of.
According to Richard Kuisel, American specialist of
France approved by Joe Dassin, French singer.
