Subsequent sessions will be held on November 11 and 18 and December 2. "This is yet another of the Academy's great multi-week seminars that will bring top-caliber professionals into a setting where they can share their personal perspectives on their art," said Academy President Robert Rehrne. "What I think is so important and unique about these seminars is that they don't focus on the 'how to' questions so much as on the 'why' issues of the craft." Donn Cambern, Academy Vice President and editor of such films as EASY RIDER (1969), ROMANCING THE STONE (1985) and A THOUSAND ACRES (1998) will lead the discussions in each of the four meetings. Also scheduled to participate are Mark Goldblatt (ST A RSHIP TROOPERS, TRUE LIES, TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY), Michael Kahn (SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, SCHINDLER'S LIST, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK), Carol Littleton (BELOVED, THE ACCIDENTAL TOURIST, E.

Selected Chronology 48 3 INTRODUCTION The road has been an enduring icon of American history and culture from the accounts of the first settlers to present-day literature, including frontier narratives. The nation was built upon social and spatial mobility: the American dream about prosperity and improvement was accompanied by the long quests for a home of natives, pilgrims, settlers, pioneers, slaves or immigrants. This mixture gave birth to a particular sense of stability and independence that has stuck to American society. In that way, the conceptions of “identity” and “self-discovery” are almost inseparable from that of “journey”, as if the ultimate internal and social voyage could only be achieved through a physical one, in Ronald Primeau‟s words: “[w]hereas most travelers of old in pilgrimages or quest romances moved with deliberation toward goals, Americans were nomadic in their trust that the power of movement itself would bring happiness, success, and fulfillment” (18).

It challenges many of the assumptions underlying prevailing accounts of the period, including the makeup of the orthodox “canon” of New Hollywood movies, the time frame within which the movies were contained, and the role played by the critical establishment in determining the ways in which the movies of the period were understood. Bringing together industrial context, textual analysis and critical (re)interpretation, it examines the complex interplay of factors that allowed a movie such as Easy Rider to achieve commercial and canonical success, while so many of its contemporaries and imitators failed to make an impact, either at the box office or within the annals of film history.
