Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Twenty-first-century Western culture is characterized by profound transformations in its forms of collective organization. While traditional institutions of Western liberal democracies still wield significant political power, new forms of collective agency most visible in progressive social protest movements, but also in the global rise of populism have increasingly put pressure on established systems of collective organization. The contributors to this volume explore the social, political, and aesthetic forms that collective agency takes in the twenty-first century across a variety of media, including social platforms such as TikTok, multiplayer video games, and contemporary lyric poetry. Working across disciplinary divides, the volume explores the contemporary discourses that shape the forms and patterns of collective life in the future.

Hardback. Etat : New. Rather than turning backward and remembering 9/11, this book sets out to reflect on how the events of September 11, 2001, have shifted our perspectives on a whole series of political, economic, social, and cultural processes. Beyond 9/11 raises the question how the intense debates on the 2001 terrorist attacks and their aftermaths have come to shape our present moment and frame what lies ahead. At the same time, this collection acknowledges that the label «9/11» has often bracketed cultural complexities we have only begun to understand. In Beyond 9/11, contributors from the fields of American studies, political science, economics, history, theology, and the arts reappraise the cultural climate and the global impact of the United States in the second decade of the twenty-first century.

Etat : Neu. The Material Body and the Poetics of Amy Lowell and William Carlos Williams. This study challenges current understandings of modernism by investigating modernist poetry's affinities with surfaces, performances, and materiality. Arguing that modernist writers reference the material body as a source of authenticity and anxiety, this study explores poetry in the context of somatic discourses. Reconsidering Amy Lowell's and William Carlos Williams's poetry, as well as texts by selected other authors, this book suggests that modernism operates with both essentialist and performative conceptions of authenticity. The study proposes that the expansion of the modernist canon in the last decades has still privileged the high modernist paradigm of originality. Authors like Williams and Lowell, who emphasize the theatrical and the performative, were relegated to the margins. Reading Williams's and Lowell's poems in relation to photography and film, expressive culture, and discourses of deviance, this book illuminates modernist literary practices in new ways. 249 Seiten mit 17 Abb., gebunden (American Studies - A Monograph Series; Vol. 245/Universitätsverlag Winter 2014).

Etat : Neu. Edited by Christian Klöckner, Simone Knewitz and Sabine Sielke. This volume, which dates back to the 62nd annual conference of the German Association for American Studies (GAAS) hosted in Bonn in May 2015, intervenes in current critical debates on concepts of knowledge and modes of knowledge production and circulation. As knowledge has been proclaimed an indispensable economic resource, scholarly and public discourses increasingly interrogate its established and newly evolving forms and institutions. These discussions frequently focus on North America and its knowledge landscapes, which retain their crucial position in knowledge distribution despite shifts in global power constellations. The 15 contributions to this volume explore the particularities of these knowledge formations by raising pertinent questions: How do North American knowledge institutions drive global knowledge economies - and in which ways are they driven by them? Which agents shape North American knowledge landscapes? What conditions have been conducive to the emergence of innovative knowledges? The authors interrogate the significance of local and tacit knowledge; they reflect on marginalized or 'forgotten' knowledges as well as on the expertise of literature and the arts; and they map the shifting media ecologies that have affected concepts of knowledge and its circulation. - Contents: Christopher Newfield: New Roles for Academia?
