In her novel Almanac of the Dead, indigenous writer Leslie Marmon Silko implements transcultural strategies to assess the transnationality and transhistoricity of culture and politics in North America. Her project tears down barriers between cultural groups within and beyond the national borders of the U.S. and Mexico, and prophesizes the rise of internationalism as an essential political tool to rightfully question the value and lawfulness of the afore-mentioned nation states which are presented in the novel as the main protagonists in the physical, cultural and economic demise of their cultural communities (both indigenous and non-indigenous).

Ursula K. Le Guin's 1970 short story Vaster than Empires and More Slow stages a group of scientists exploring a planet covered by a sentient vegetal network. The meeting between this group, steeped in interpersonal conflict, and the planetary sentience invites us to question agonistic visions of social life – visions in which competition appears as a “natural law” pruning the losers and letting the fittest thrive.

This paper considers the role of colonial history and colonial archives in the formation of early national history in the United-States, through a comparison between the Massachusetts Historical Society founded in 1791, and the New York Historical Society, created in 1804. While the New York Society struggled financially to build its colonial archive and to publish it, the Boston institution enjoyed the fruits of a private archive, itself a product of the promotional dimension of colonization and of the institutional requirements of permanent settlement. Settlement also shaped the political outlook of its members, who embraced expansion as the engine of the American enterprise of colonization. When history became professionalized in the late 1880s, and historiography began to look back on the past century for a tradition of scientific history serving the common national interest, the archival and analytical practices of the MHS came again to the fore, attesting to the role of political colonial sources in shaping wide historical interpretations of the meaning of American expansion.

The surge of writers’ memoirs has resurrected the figure of the author after he had been declared dead by decades of postmodernism. This article argues that the memoir’s proneness to tackle failure reflects a wider literary anxiety. However, as fiction gradually contaminates the memoir form, the narrative of the self radically mutates, which informs the way failure is dealt with. Kept at a distance by an excessive use of comedy, failure seems bound to remain a fiction.
