The Routledge Companion to Transnational American Studies provides
scholars and students of American Studies with theoretical and
applied essays that help to define Transnational American Studies
as a discipline and practice. In more than 30 essays, the volume
offers a history of the concept of the "transnational" and takes
readers from the Barbary frontier to Guam, from Mexico's border
crossings to the intifada's contested zones. Together, the essays
develop new ways for Americanists to read events, images, sound,
literature, identity, film, politics, or performance
transnationally through the work of diverse figures, such as
Confucius, Edward Said, Pauline Hopkins, Poe, Faulkner, Michael
Jackson, Onoto Watanna, and others. This timely volume also
addresses presidential politics and interpictorial US history from
Lincoln in Africa, to Obama and Mandela, to Trump. The essays,
written by prominent global Americanists, as well as the emerging
scholars shaping the field, seek to provide foundational resources
as well as experimental and forward-leaning approaches to
Transnational American Studies.

Edward Said and Jacques Derrida: Reconstellating Humanism and the
Global Hybrid features essays that invoke Said and Derrida's
intellectually rigorous examination of humanism in their works; yet
by shifting Said and Derrida out of their contexts-by dis-engaging
them from their respective habitats of postcolonial studies and
deconstruction-and by placing them in each other's company, the
collection reconstellates those traces of their works that open the
question of ethics, criticism, and the political in order to
reconsider the status of the human subject in the global
moment.These fourteen interdisciplinary essays by leading
international scholars address present social change and political
questions and analyze humanism from the perspectives of literature,
theory, history, gender studies, and art in view of the
intellectual impact of Said and Derrida on contemporary philosophy.
In rethinking the question of humanism, these essays pursue the
analysis of pivotal concepts that are theoretically and politically
imperative in the global age such as the "human subject",
"hybridity", "community", "philology", "secularism", "planetary
humanism", "ethical antihumanism", "inhabitancy", "exceptionalism",
"utopia", and others.
