Of course it does.
So called
cutural imperialism by the american culture.
It is an
uncomfortable truth and yet it is prevalent.
However, i
think literature somewhat maintains its unique characteristics despite the dominance of
one culture.
It is because the literature is spreaded via
one country's own language, while the culture is spreaded by variosu means of
media.
I mean, when the literature is made in to a movie
which is kind of a culture, even though the specific novel is from, let's say, Korea,
the film may have americanistic traits to suit the tastes of the
americans.
Because literature is written by distinct
languages differing among nations, it is able to maintain its uniqueness
somewhat.
But
culture!
It is no denying that globalization is affecting
it.
Look at GI Joe. Who is saving the effiel
tower??
How come americans are the ones protecting the
symbol of paris?
We should appreciate that the english is
not the only language in the world.
