This paper aims at contributing to the ongoing debate about research in and the teaching of American Studies in France. It focuses in particular on the definition of what is known as «civilization» and on its scientific status. It argues that, in the French context, history has a hegemonic position in the teaching of non-literary American Studies. This hegemony must be analyzed and challenged in some respects — without losing sight of Clio's crucial hermeneutic possibilities. The link between disciplines and methodologies, on the one hand, and institutional positions and power relationships, on the other, is investigated in the last two parts of this article.
