    What is 'postirony'? Foremost, it is a response to the ironic zeitgeist. Moreover, it is the key to understanding a specific form of literature. The contemporary reader is familiar with and - unfortunately - used to postmodernism's ironic, self-reflexive metafiction. Authors like David Foster Wallace and Dave Eggers chose a different path: Despite the reign of contemporary irony, they strive to reach the reader on a level beyond, cognitively as well as emotionally - they claim to be sincere and true. Focusing largely on nonfiction by said authors, Lukas Hoffmann explores the means the texts use to achieve something new - namely, a new form of sincerity

    The foundational vision of the U.S. polity as a “political edifice of liberty and equal rights” (Abraham Lincoln) has held immense symbolic power and bred both aspirations and discontent. It has served as the source for various interconnected, yet often also conflicting, narratives and discourses through which the question of human and civil rights in the U.S. has been constantly debated and re-negotiated. This volume investigates the U.S.-American culture of rights as it has evolved and continues to evolve throughout U.S. (legal) history as well as in U.S. literature and in popular culture. It demonstrates that the question of rights has been posed differently by members of the various groups and cultures that have historically constituted the United States, and that the answers to these questions changed significantly over time.

  6. The Territorialities of U.S. Imperialism(s)

    ‘The Territorialities of U.S. Imperialism(s)’ sets into relation U.S. imperial and Indigenous conceptions of territoriality as articulated in U.S. legal texts and Indigenous life writing in the 19th century. It analyzes the ways in which U.S. legal texts as “legal fictions” narratively press to affirm the United States’ territorial sovereignty and coherence in spite of its reliance on a variety of imperial practices that flexibly disconnect and (re)connect U.S. sovereignty, jurisdiction and territory. At the same time, the book acknowledges Indigenous life writing as legal texts in their own right and with full juridical force, which aim to highlight the heterogeneity of U.S. national territory both from their individual perspectives and in conversation with these legal fictions. Through this, the book’s analysis contributes to a more nuanced understanding of the coloniality of U.S. legal fictions, while highlighting territoriality as a key concept in the fashioning of the narrative of U.S. imperialism.

    Since the 19th century indigenous writers have been challenging their missing cultural, political and literary invisibility. Yet, stereotypical misconceptions of “the inferior Indian” continue to exist. This “study of reversal” unfolds an unseen perspective of Native Americans in which they emerge as ethnographers of whiteness and indigeneity. Rereading the autobiographical accounts of Charles A. Eastman, Sarah Winnemucca and Zitkala-Ša results in a framework which allows us to reimagine native culture, while it simultaneously reverses and completes our understanding of white identity. This new approach investigates how these native writers create a counterimage of the “Indian’s White Man,” by creating their own study of “races.” By emerging as scholars of reversal ‘avant la lettre’, their works may additionally be read as testimonies of reconciliation.

    Geological in origin, ‘Pacific Rim’ refers to a zone of high tectonic stresses along the margins of the Pacific Ocean, thus conceptually tying together the Americas, the islands of the South Pacific, Australia and New Zealand as well as Southeast and Northeast Asia. The phrase gained wider currency in the 1970s when the political and economic situation of the United States necessitated a strategic reorientation in terms of spatial imaginaries and, concomitantly, the coinage of a new transnational discourse. While the notion of the Pacific Rim has seeped from the realms of politics, business, and trade into cultural studies, scholars increasingly challenge its logic of linkage along borders and develop alternative conceptions favouring, for instance, an archipelagic approach. The volume contributes to the current debate by offering expert geohistorical and theoretical discussions plus in-depth analyses of cultural products including photography, film, TV, music, and literature.

    This volume of original essays presents an overview of Popular Culture Studies as an ever-growing branch of American Studies while also reflecting the critical debates driving the field toward a more nuanced approach to contemporary culture more generally. Thus, many of the essays included take fresh perspectives on Black American culture, feminism, multiculturalism, and queer studies, among others, but they also provide critical updates on the global impact of U.S. American popular culture. If an understanding of U.S. Culture as Popular Culture in its national and international dimensions is one of the aims behind this publication, another is to conceive of cultural formations against the backdrop of shifting media environments. Placed alongside more traditional media such as literature and film, more recent phenomena including reality television, internet memes, and video games add considerable relevance to the critical appreciation of culture in the twenty-first century.

    ‘Corporeal Battlegrounds’ explores the depiction and critical potential of the entanglement of work and embodiment in contemporary realist U.S.-American novels. It argues that manifesting the elusive effects of contemporary capitalism in the figure of the laboring body allows for a critique of capitalism. The laboring body thus provides a gateway to understanding how power relations are perpetuated by the work we engage in and to revealing the inherent logic of capitalism. To provide a comprehensive view, each larger section examines one aspect of contemporary capitalism in conversation with a novel: social acceleration, digitalization, financialization, and 24/7 capitalism. These sections question how the novels approach the representability of economic relations and how the depiction of the laboring body functions to open up an area of tension to criticize the link between the laboring body, economic participation, and the perception of failure and success.

    “Through the Bars of My Memory” investigates how prison experiences are remembered and constructed in 40 autobiographical prison texts published during the prison movement of the 1970s and 1980s. It explores how the autobiographers narratively construct their identities in the process of remembering their prison experiences and how the texts position themselves to the prison movement via these identity constructions. The study demonstrates how the autobiographical texts negotiate the protagonist’s identity to be perceived as a legitimate voice in the prison movement and as a rightful subject of reform efforts thereby participating in the struggles raging over the future of the prison system during that time. The analysis focuses on the construction of collective identification, the negotiation of the label of perpetrator and the construction of victimhood, and the positioning towards rehabilitation through the construction of identity transformation processes.

    This study is essential reading for those interested in cross-cultural nineteenth century literary developments. It introduces a novel axial methodology used to perform a comparative analysis of seminal works by Edgar Allan Poe and Charles Baudelaire. Laying bare uncanny affinities of these writers, this book traces their strikingly similar generic innovations, exploring how they revised antiquated notions of Romanticism, anticipating Modernism. Baudelaire casts the American author as a Byronic dandy, assuring Poe’s lasting reputation. But does Baudelaire owe more to Poe than previously assumed? Was Baudelaire’s Poe a convenient palimpsest for the French writer’s own self-invention, or did Poe cast a shadow on his disciple, fostering an anxiety of influence? The study examines when Baudelaire emulated his mentor and when he subverted Poe’s influence. The axial methodology proposed should prove useful for professors and students who want to compare other aesthetic works.

    Dürfen wir über den Holocaust lachen? Ist der Holocaust auserzählt? Mit diesen Fragen provozierten die KZ-Komödien, als sie in den 1990er Jahren mit allen bis dahin geltenden Tabus der Darstellung brachen. Doch wie geht es weiter nach einem ultimativen Tabubruch, wie wird der Holocaust in zeitgenössischen Kunstwerken dargestellt? Die Studie geht diesen Entwicklungen nach und nimmt dabei den US-amerikanischen und den deutschen Kontext in komparatistischer Perspektive in den Blick. ‚Von Grauen und Glamour‘ zeichnet nach, in welche kulturellen Narrative die untersuchten Romane, Novellen, Filme und Graphic Novels eingebunden sind, und in welchem transatlantischen Dialog sie stehen. Die Analysen zeigen, wie in den untersuchten Kunstwerken die Debatten um Generationen, Gedächtnis und Gedenken verhandelt werden und sich dabei Ethik und Ästhetik verknüpfen. Das Buch zeigt – erstmals in transnationaler Perspektive – die andauernde Notwendigkeit und immer neue Offenheit der Erinnerungsarbeit.

    Since its first official mentioning in 1943, autism spectrum disorder has proven to be a much-discussed yet seemingly unfathomable object of investigation by numerous disciplinary fields that have sought to understand the condition from multiple lenses and vied for their respective power of interpretation. This book explores the representation of autism in medical, popular, and literary discourses. Focusing on the works of Temple Grandin, it understands her oeuvre as a prism for refracting perspectives that have taken a stand on the question and definition of autism in past and contemporary debates. It further illuminates the crucial interconnection between life sciences and life writing, which goes far beyond the example of autism and demonstrates how central it is to bridge the divide between the life sciences and the humanities. Such an interdisciplinary dialogue, this book proposes, can lead to a significant advancement of knowledge about autism and other forms of neurodiversity.

    What does it mean to live through time and to form affective bonds? This book discusses how concepts of time, age and aging, and kinship produce and impact each other in a neoliberal, late-capitalist 21st century U.S. American context. Located at the nexus of American studies, queer theory, critical age(ing) studies, and studies on belonging, it features case studies from across contemporary U.S. American culture. To explore potential challenges to dominant concepts and narratives, the book turns to diverse forms of temporal, developmental, and relational rupture: the multiple temporalities and erratic aging processes, the queer time modes, and the alternative models of collectivity and affect of bodies across – and as they cross – genders and the (post)human condition. With its queer analyses of examples from transgressive sites of queer contestation as well as mainstream culture, the book also asks: is going mainstream and being anti-hegemonic necessarily and always mutually exclusive?

    Siri Hustvedt is one of the few contemporary US-American authors who consistently engages with the questions of seeing and perceiving in her work. However, despite the growing academic interest in her narratives, many aspects related to the depiction of these fundamental practices have been left unaddressed in the criticism. This study aims to fill this gap by examining the concepts of seeing and perceiving as represented in both her fictional and nonfictional writings published to date and argues that Hustvedt’s texts reveal the deep entanglement of the senses that inform a meaningful human experience. Drawing on phenomenology and feminist epistemology, this study highlights Hustvedt’s interest in embodied cultural habits and implicit forms of knowledge that play a crucial role in the ways people perceive the world and each other. Through the motif of gender masquerade, her narratives explore how the ideas about femininity and masculinity shape people’s perceptions and interactions.

    Der Generationenbegriff hat sich in der literaturwissenschaftlichen Shoah-Forschung als Analysekategorie etabliert. Seit der Jahrhundertwende rückt vor allem die sogenannte dritte Generation in den Fokus der Aufmerksamkeit, die in dieser Studie unabhängig von Geburtsjahrgängen oder familiärer Abstammung der Autor:innen als Gruppe literarischer Werke über die Shoah und ihre Nachwirkungen umgedeutet, allein aus textuellen Kriterien abgeleitet sowie durch die exemplarische Analyse deutscher und US-amerikanischer Erzählungen konkretisiert wird. Die komparatistisch angelegte Untersuchung zeigt auf, wie die Texte der so definierten dritten Generation die mediale Vermitteltheit sowie (Un-)Möglichkeit einer authentischen Rekonstruktion der traumatischen Shoah-Vergangenheit selbstreflexiv problematisieren und dabei verhandeln, wie sich die historischen Ereignisse auch ohne Zeugen und trotz zunehmender zeitlicher Distanz vergegenwärtigen lassen.

    As growing economic and racial inequality continues to shape American society, homelessness remains an urgent issue. Embedded in American history, and more recently exacerbated by the 2008 financial and housing crisis, a new wave of homelessness has emerged as the U.S. has faced surging evictions throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The essays in this volume explore homelessness both as the literal state of being unsheltered and as the modern and contemporary condition of being and/or feeling estranged from society. They also reflect on the meaning of home in relation to race, class, gender, migration and mobility in an American and transnational context. Contributions include interdisciplinary research that investigates representations of home and homelessness in modern and contemporary fiction, film, and videogames, as well as philosophical, historical, political and architectural discussions of homelessness.

    This book—written by nine scholars based in Europe and another eight in the United States—is an undertaking in American Studies where, typically, transnational intellectual currents and cross-currents meet. Its sixteen chapters unite around three major themes and one common goal. The themes are, first, technology and energy; second, place, space, and the environment; and, third, the theory and method of American Studies. At the same time, the goal is to pay tribute to David E. Nye, one of the leading American Studies scholars of our time. Not only has he dedicated the major part of his academic life to exploring those exact three themes; as an “absent native son” born in the United States yet working in Europe and for nearly three decades chairing the Center for American Studies at the University of Southern Denmark, he has contributed mightily to stimulating those intellectual currents and cross-currents that make up the stuff of American Studies.

Operationalizing the term ‘un-American’ as a novel analytical tool, the book examines the many facets of American people renegotiating the legal and sociocultural equalization of gays and lesbians. The study reveals the extent to which this newly found legal equality translated into a greater equality regarding the full inclusion of gay subjects into contemporary concepts of American nationalism. It takes particular interest in disclosing that such conflicts tend to serve as proxy wars for disputes that are ultimately processes of renegotiating American nationalism. The culture war over marriage equality soon became incidental to larger sociocultural transformations.

    Habitually, the “inter” in intermediality is conceived of as the interrelation between neatly distinguishable semiotic systems and projected as intercompositional agenda. While there are benefits of such a research design it fails to fully fathom both pop music and its potential ties to the literary text. Such relations can better be grasped by including the logic of literature as social system and the mediality of communication – in fiction as well as in pop music. ‘Sonic Fictions of America’ defines pop music as medial cluster strongly informed by the indexical effects of recording technologies. How, then, does pop affect literature? More often than not, literature has shown a surprising capacity to immunize itself against the “threat” of the popular, turning to familiar forms and styles to evoke pop phenomena. Discussing a rich array of prose texts from Ralph Ellison to Bret Easton Ellis, this study delineates a rather slow shift towards the end of these self-immunizing tendencies.

    This book introduces the concept of ‘narrative instability’ in order to make visible a new trend in contemporary US popular culture, to analyze this trend’s poetics, and to scrutinize its textual politics. It identifies those texts as narratively unstable that consciously frustrate and obfuscate the process of narrative understanding and comprehension. Despite—or rather, exactly because of—their destabilizing tendencies, such texts have attained mainstream popularity in recent years across media, most prominently in films, video games, and TV series. Focusing on three clusters of instability that form around identities, realities, and textualities, the book argues that narratively unstable texts encourage their audiences to engage with the constructedness of their universes, that narrative instability embodies a new facet of popular culture, that it can only be understood transmedially, and that its textual politics particularly speak to white male middle-class Americans.
