Comparative American Studies
An International Journal
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
Comparative American Studies: An International Journal is an exciting new
journal that will extend scholarly debates about American Studies beyond the
geographical boundaries of the United States, repositioning discussions
about American culture explicitly within an international, comparative
framework.
At this time of increasing globalization there is a growing need for
American Studies to be re-articulated in a comparative manner: that is to
say, first and foremost taking account of interactions between the USA and
other parts of the world, whilst also fully attending to multi-ethnic
comparisons within the USA. The special need for developing international
comparison is acknowledged in the USA itself as well as throughout Europe
and worldwide; indeed, there is increasing academic interest within the
American Studies community in the United States in the development of
perspectives on this area of study from outside the USA's borders. The
events of September 2001 in New York City and Washington DC have brought
home even more sharply how the destiny of the USA must now be understood in
relation to global networks rather than simply domestic politics.
The main disciplines covered in the journal will be:
literature, film, popular culture, photography and the visual arts.
Attention will also be given to history, the social sciences and politics,
particularly insofar as these fields impact cultural texts.
Topics covered will range widely and include:
· American Studies and Interdisciplinarity
· Intercultural American Studies
· American culture and Globalization
· The United States and the Americas
· Borderlands, Migrations, Diasporas
· Transnationalism, Transculturalism, and their Prehistories
· Languages and the Americas
· American Literature in Comparative Context
· The International Slave Trade
· Comparative Approaches to Race, Gender, Sexuality
· Ethnicity, Multiculturalism, Fundamentalism
· Environmentalism and Regionalism
· Religions: National and Global
· Hollywood and the World
· Technology, New Media
· The Postnational City
· American Music, America in Music
· Visual Aesthetics, Art, Photography
