I'm looking for a reference which deals with limits of families of algebraic varieties as the degree increases (or at least keywords from this subject).

For the kind of example I have in mind, consider the exponential function as a convergent power series e^x=1+x+x^2/2!+... on the interval [-1;1] say, and consider the varieties A0:={(x,y)\in\R^2 s.t. y=1}, A1:={(x,y)\in\R^2 s.t. y=1+x}, A2:={(x,y)\in\R^2 s.t. y=1+x+x^2/2!}... which converge (in the euclidean topology) to the graph of the exponential (as in the picture here).

See On the limit of families of algebraic subvarieties with unbounded volume, to appear in Astérisque.
