Plusieurs scénarios de The American Scene sont examinés afin de mettre en lumière la nature inconciliable des fonctions performatives et constatives du langage en tant que moyen de présentation esthétique, ce qui rend impossible toute tentative pour réduire le texte à un document historico-politique et qui sous-tend au contraire le caractère ironique du discours. Cette ironie se présente comme force de résistance opposée à l’idéologie esthétique que James voit s’installer aux États-Unis et qu’il nomme « le monde d’hôtel », mode nihiliste et spectaculaire de l’esprit américain. |

| description |
Several scenarios of The American Scene are studied to emphasize the irreconcilable nature of performative and constative functions of language as a medium of aesthetic presentation, rendering impossible any attempt to reduce the text to a historico-political document, and underwriting on the contrary the ironic character of its discourse. This discursive irony is read as a counter-force to the aesthetic ideology that James sees installing itself in the United States as what he calls the “hotel-world,” a nihilist and spectacular mode of the American spirit. |
