Lenz at the Humboldt University Berlin in February 2005, will provide some answers to Shelley Fisher Fishkin\u2019s question \u201cWhat would the field of American Studies look like if the transnational rather than the national were at its center?\u201d The editors also express the hope that it will represent another major step in challenging the methodological nationalism of American Studies. The contributions engage with literary, political and cultural practices in America, past and present, set out to transcend long established paradigms of an American \u201cexceptionalism\u201d or critical approaches that hold on to the notion of a core Americanness as a single nationalist mythology of the United States. \u201cAmerica\u201d then functions as a signifier that is configured in and by its presence outside and beyond the national borders of the United States of America. The overall thrust of our volume draws upon concepts of the \u201cNew American Studies,\u201d especially \u201cPost-Nationalist American Studies.\u201d The re-definition and re-positioning of American Studies point towards significant shifts in research approaches, away from nation-state based myths as well as spatial configurations and signal a dynamically transnational and intercultural conceptualization of U.S. culture. Such turn in American Studies interprets \u201cAmerica\u201d as a multiplicity of interpellations for which no single position has precedence and all interact in \u201ca genuinely dialogic notion of cultural critique and of inter- and postnational American culture studies in order to bring into view the always two-directional processes of transculturation\u201d as well as constructions, deconstructions and reconstructions of competing visions, and ideologies inside and outside the terrain of the United States (Lenz). \u00a9 1998-2001 Amazon.com, Inc. und Tochtergesellschaften<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.de\/gp\/product\/3825355608?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=interassocofi-21&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1638&amp;creative=19454&amp;creativeASIN=3825355608\" target=\"_blank\">Buy at Amazon.de<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Raussert, Wilfried and Reinhard Isensee (eds). <em>Transcultural Visions of Identities in Images and Texts: Transatlantic American Studies<\/em>.
