The proceedings are guided by three key themes: the call for inter- and transnationalization of American studies, the promises and limits of American studies as inter- and transdisciplinary field, and the political and passionate investments that define the field. Specific topics include historian's perspectives on transnationalizing American studies, American world-fiction in the longue durée, American (cultural) studies as media studies, the politics of conceptualizing 9/11 as a rupture in American studies, environmental disasters as case studies in the value of interdisciplinarity, and approaching America through its ideals.
