It extends discussions of U.S. American cultures of memory, commemorative identity construction, and the politics of remembrance into the topical field of transnational and comparative American studies. In the contexts of the theoretical turns since the 1990's, including prominently the pictorial and the spatial turns, and in the wake of multicultural and international conceptions of American history, the contributions to the collection explore the cultural productivity and political implications of both officially endorsed memories and practices of oppositional remembrance. Reading sites of memory situated in or related to the United States as crossroads of transnational and intercultural remembering and commemoration manifests their possibly controversial function as platforms and agents in the processes of cultural exchange and political negotiation across the spatial, temporal, and ideological trajectories that inform American Studies as Atlantic Studies, Hemispheric Studies, Pacific Studies. The interdisciplinary range of issues and materials engaged includes literary texts, personal accounts, and cultural performances from colonial times through the immediate present, the significance of war monuments and ethnic memorials in Europe, Asia, and the U.S., films about 9/11, public sculptures and the fine arts, American world's fairs as transnational sites of memory. 410 0$aMedia and cultural memory;$v11. 606 $aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHistory in literature 606 $aCollective memory in literature 606 $aNational characteristics, American, in literature 606 $aLiterature and history$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aCollective memory and literature$zUnited States$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xHistoriography 607 $aUnited States$xIn literature 607 $aUnited States$xIn motion pictures 607 $aUnited States$vIn art 610 $aAmerican Memories. 610 $aCommemorative Identity Construction. 610 $aCultural Memory. 610 $aPolitics of Remembrance. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHistory in literature. 615 0$aCollective memory in literature. 615 0$aNational characteristics, American, in literature. 615 0$aLiterature and history$xHistory. 615 0$aCollective memory and literature$xHistory. 676 $a810.9/35873 686 $aHR 1704$2rvk 701 $aHebel$b Udo J$01547686 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778470403321 996 $aTransnational American memories$93804186 997 $aUNINA
