One of the main new issues brought by the age of postmodernism was the ideology of globalization. Any interest in grand narratives is lost and bluntly discarded and the new age followed new values in a world that seemed not to conserve national identities and specificities within borders but imported or exported these aspects with an increased speed due to the appearance of the new type of communication and the new type of traveller – the jet man. Art, philosophy, literary criticism or history have gained new perspectives of analysis and have enlarged their spectrum. This also caused a loss of religious and political values and beliefs, issue which was said to have led to the appearance of the slippery slope of postmodernism. It is now that societies experience the expansion of the capitalist world market and it is precisely this transnational capitalism that introduced the new flow of goods, people, information and various cultural forms. These echoes have automatically reached the field of literature and literary criticism and intertextuality, hyperreality, indeterminacy or simulation have become the new (unwritten) laws followed by authors and critics only to register the movement of the society. Malcolm Bradbury too, from his position as both writer and critic registered these trends both in his fiction and his critical works. In fact, the latter register an extensive preoccupation with the “dangerous pilgrimages” as he calls the journeys of thought and feelings on both sides of the Atlantic. His Atlas of Literature tries to pinpoint precisely the manner in which literature and critical theory have expanded their horizon throughout centuries, reaching a stage in which they manifest on a global scale, in a “global melting pot”. Bradbury insists especially on the opposition between the United States of America and what he calls “the United States of Europe” as two entities that made of the blurring of borders a culminating point in the history of mankind. Our paper aims at presenting the manner in which he mapped postmodernism from this perspective and the manner in which he himself registered the ideology of globalization in his fiction.
