This global age presses us to address how cultural relations are defined. This dissertation responds to this persistent problem by conceiving of memory as a fresh, creative act of fantasy through which cultural relations to the Americas are preserved as the unrealized events of history. Resisting the postmodern posthistorical approach of the image, this dissertation demonstrates how, conceived as spaces of memories, the United States and Mexico become the loci of cultural becoming for France and the United States. These constitute virtual alternate spaces to modernity where to think and contest the marked homogenizing tendencies of globalization over minoritarian cultures. This original understanding of memory as the imagistic means through which France, the U.S., and Mexico communicate helps respond to the impact of the reifying forces of history upon cultures, thereby allowing for the reassessment of cultural relations taking place outside the dialectical and historical framework of identity and the mastery of reason over "the other."
