Beskrivning
(Multi)Vocal Exchanges Across the Ocean is the second volume of the project American Studies Over_Seas, an edited collection of texts honoring two pioneering Portuguese scholars in American literature and culture. Devoted to relations between Portugal and the United States, it includes essays by leading scholars whose research illuminates the multifarious ways in which history, sociology and literature intersect. A special feature of this collection is the inclusion of creative writing pieces that provide an imaginative intellectual backdrop to the transnational turn in American Studies. The literary contributions focus on diasporic experiences, dramatizing issues of ethnicity, identity, and interculturality. The essays of a more personal nature highlight the career of the two honorees, discuss protocols involving academic exchanges, and showcase dialogues between Europe and America over the past 30 years. Of benefit to the academic and the interested reader, this volume enriches the metaphor of the Atlantic Ocean as a space not only of struggle but also of ongoing conversation.

Recensioner i media

"This volume helps renovate existing ideas about Transnational American Studies. Deeply invested with the cutting-edge transdisciplinary practices currently employed in the field, it examines American literary history centered on seafaring, combining academic essays, personal accounts of scholarly exchanges, and creative writing pieces by poets and novelists. Foregrounding the Portuguese American experience, it provides a unique multicultural perspective for Americanists and general readers alike."—Takayuki Tatsumi, Keio University
