Hinweise: The "transnational turn" in American Studies has effected the most significant re-imagining of the field of American Studies since its inception. Transnational perspectives have changed the way Americanist scholars imagine their relationship to their work, their objects of study, their disciplinary protocols, as well as the field in which they conduct their research. But vexing questions attend the import and purpose of Transnational American Studies. Did the newly configured field foster an expanded sense of injustice and a cosmopolitan ethos? Was it a form of disciplinary imperialism designed to re-fashion social relations and cultural practices after the US neoliberal model? Did the transnational framework foster an alternative to US cultural and economic hegemony or embody the standpoint that Americanization assumed in the present conjuncture? While their responses to these questions vary, scholars agree about two significant matters: that Transnational American Studies scholars dismantled the foundational tenets and premises informing the methodology, periodization, pedagogy and geographical locations of U.S. Americans Studies, and that transnational americanists had not as yet added a coherent order of intelligibility to the field. My lecture should be understood as a preliminary effort to provide a semblance of intelligibility through an examination of the geopolitical context in which Transnational American Studies became imaginable as well as the problematic sites of emergence, transformation and reconfiguration that accompanied the transnational turn.
