This volume defines versions of the transnational in their
historical and cultural specificity. By "locating," the
contributors contextualize historical and contemporary
understandings of the fluid term "transnational," which vary in
relation to the disciplines involved. This kind of historical and
geographical "locating" implicitly turns against forms of
contemporary transnational euphoria which, inspired by
poststructural models of all-encompassing semiospheres, on the one
hand, and by visions of the utopian communicative potential of new
media like the internet, on the other, see national and ethnic
paradigms as easily superseded by transnational agendas. By
differentiating between various forms of transnational ideals and
ideas in historical and geographical perspective since the
Renaissance, the contributors aim to rediscover distinctions -- for
instance between transnationalisms and cosmopolitanisms -- which
neo-liberal transnational euphoria has tended to erase.
