Long description:

I took a trip down to L?America To trade some beads for a pint of gold.

Jim Morrison

As the title indicates, Trans/American, Trans/Oceanic, Trans/lation points towards the International American Studies Society?s aims to promote cross-disciplinary study and teaching of the Americas regionally, hemispherically, nationally and transnationally. But it also reflects, less strategically but more forcefully, the heterogeneous and often unexpected themes, topics and motifs addressed in this forum.

These articles are revealing in that they give face and expression to the evolving trends and preoccupations in the field. In various ways and from different disciplinary angles, the essays explore key questions in International American Studies: what have been the symbolic and material relations between the ?Americas? and the ?USA,? and between ?America? and the ?World?? What are the meanings and workings of these four entities when examined across nations, cultures and languages? In what ways does American experience contribute to the global (re-)production of social, cultural and economic practices?
