    In the 2021 Postgraduate Forum (PGF) Conference of the DGfA (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Amerikanstudien), we are interested in contributions from graduate students exploring this transnational aspect of American Studies. Papers dealing with any aspect of the transnational in American Studies, past, present or future are welcome, as we attempt to re-evaluate American values, history, literature, culture, religion and people from a multi-faceted perspective. To that end, we are looking forward to discussions about a diverse group of projects, from those that work as chapters from dissertations, to papers that are works-in-progress of larger or ongoing projects, as well as papers that can stand alone as completed research projects. ; pgf2021.hypotheses.org

    The study centers on the presentation of the North American borderlands in the works of Canadian Native writer Thomas King’s Truth & Bright Water (1999), American writer Howard Frank Mosher’s On Kingdom Mountain (2007), and American writer Jim Lynch’s Border Songs (2009). The three authors describe the peoples and places in the northeastern, middle and northwestern border regions of the USA and Canada. The novels address important border-oriented aspects such as indigeneity, the borderlands as historic territory and as utopian space, border crossing and transcendence, post-9/11 security issues, social interaction along the border, and gender specifics. The interpretation also examines the meaning of border imaginaries, border conceptualizations, and the theme of resistance and subversion. ; www.peterlang.com/view/title/17256

    The term Utopia, coined by Thomas More in 1516, contains an inherent semantic ambiguity: it could be read as eu topos (good place) or ou topos (no place). The authors of this volume analyze this polysemous notion and its fascination for scholars across the centuries, who have developed a variety of visions and ways to explain the «realization» of utopian discourses. The experts in the fields of sociology, political science, economics, computer science, literature and linguistics offer extensive studies about how utopian scenarios are realized in different cultural contexts. ; Miriam Bait: "The United Kingdom Is(a)land of Utopia: Self-Representation of City Councils and Communicative Strategies towards Citizens" 13 // Federico Boni: "The Utopia of Communication - The Myth of Communication as a Positive Value" 27 // Paola Bozzi: "Sex and the City: Berlin and the Utopia of a New Discursive and Visual Urban Frontier in the Branding of the Creative Place" 43 // Paola De Vecchi Galbiati: "Self-adaptive Organisms: The Evolution of Organizational Models and Systems" 61 // Rafaella Folgieri: "Technology, Artifcial Intelligence and Keynes’ Utopia: A Realized Prediction?" 73 // Angela Lupone: "The 'Green Beautiful' Option for the WTO-Multilateral Trading System: Cutting the Edge between Feasibility, Pragmatic Approach and Utopia in Governing the Multiple Aspects of Globalization in Food Markets" 87 // Gloria Regonini: "Administrative Simplifcation Between Utopia and Nightmare" 105 // Marina Brambilla−Valentina Crestani: "Online University Presentations in German: Virtual, Utopian and Green.

    This multidisciplinary collection of articles illuminates the ways in which the concept of female deviance is represented, appropriated, re-inscribed and refigured in a wide range of texts across time, cultures and genres. Such a choice of variety shows that representations of deviance accommodate meaning-making spaces and possibilities for resistance in different socio-cultural and literary contexts. The construct of the deviant woman is analysed from literary, sociolinguistic and historical-cultural perspectives, revealing insights about cultures and societies. Furthermore, the studies recognise and explain the significance of the concept of deviance in relation to gender that bespeaks a contemporary cultural concern about narratives of femininity. ; Tiina Mäntymäki, Marinella Rodi -Risberg, Anna Foka: "Introduction" 9 // Anna Foka: "Beyond Deviant: Theodora as the Other in Byzantine Imperial Historiography" 29 // Wang Lei: "Ghosts and Spirits as the objet a in Pu Songling’s Strange Tales from Make -Do Studio" 49 // Sanna Karkulehto and Ilmari Leppihalme: "Deviant Will to Knowledge: The Pandora Myth and Its Feminist Revisions" 69 // Tiina Mäntymäki: "Carnivalesque Masquerade.

    How do we see ourselves? How do we see each other? Questions of identity feature largely in our everyday lives: Advertisements try to sell us things to improve our lives because “they fit us”. A particular set of clothes is turned into a brand which a group of people uses to identify who belongs to them and who does not. In literature, too, questions of belonging somewhere – to a group, to a people, to a nation – are discussed widely, though this is sometimes not apparent from the very outset. In this volume, four essays discuss questions of identity and gender, of identity and nationality in English, Irish and Canadian/Sri Lankan texts ranging from the early nineteenth to the twentyfirst century. ; univerlag.uni-goettingen.de/handle/3/isbn-978-3-86395-033-0
