Germany has long entertained the notion that the transatlantic
slave trade and New World slavery involved only other European
players. Countering this premise, this collection re-charts various
routes of German participation in, profiteering from, and
resistance to transatlantic slavery and its cultural, political,
and intellectual reverberations. Exploring how German financiers,
missionaries, and immigrant writers made profit from, morally
responded to, and fictionalized their encounters with New World
slavery, the contributors demonstrate that these various German
entanglements with New World slavery revise preconceived ideas that
erase German involvements from the history of slavery and the Black
Atlantic. Moreover, the collection brings together these German
perspectives on slavery with an investigation of German colonial
endeavors in Africa, thereby seeking to interrogate historical
processes (or fantasies) of empire-building, colonialism, and
slavery which, according to public memory, seem to have taken place
in isolation from each other. The collection demonstrates that they
should be regarded as part and parcel of a narrative that ingrained
colonialism and slavery in the German cultural memory and identity
to a much larger extent than has been illustrated and admitted so
far in general discourses in contemporary Germany. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Atlantic Studies.
The essays in this book productively conjoin the fields of
performance studies and American studies. The book will appeal to
international programs and research projects in American Studies,
Cultural Studies, Performance Studies, and Theater Studies. The
book features the documentation of the performance Border
Movement... by Marina Barsy Janer and Caro Ley, and an interview
with the performance artist Denise Uyehara.

In Search of Liberty explores how African Americans, since the
founding of the United States, have understood their struggles for
freedom as part of the larger Atlantic world. The essays in this
volume capture the pursuits of equality and justice by African
Americans across the Atlantic World through the end of the
nineteenth century, as their fights for emancipation and
enfranchisement in the United States continued. This book
illuminates stories of individual Black people striving to escape
slavery in places like Nova Scotia, Louisiana, and Mexico and
connects their eff orts to emigration movements from the United
States to Africa and the Caribbean, as well as to Black
abolitionist campaigns in Europe. By placing these diverse stories
in conversation, editors Ronald Angelo Johnson and Ousmane K.
Power-Greene have curated a larger story that is only beginning to
be told. By focusing on Black internationalism in the eighteenth
and nineteenth centuries, In Search of Liberty reveals that Black
freedom struggles in the United States were rooted in transnational
networks much earlier than the better-known movements of the
twentieth century.

The volume is uniquely located at the interdisciplinary crossroads
of Performance Studies and transnational American Studies. As both
a method and an object of study, performance deepens our
understanding of transnational phenomena and America's position in
the world. The thirteen original contributions make use of the
field's vast potential and critically explore a wide array of
cultural, political, social, and aesthetic performances on and off
the stage. They scrutinize transnational trajectories and address
issues central to the American Studies agenda such as
representation, power, (ethnic and gender) identities, social
mobility, and national imaginaries. As an American Studies
endeavor, the volume highlights the cultural, political, and
(inter)disciplinary implications of performance.
Die Aktivit ten und noch mehr die Theorien der franz sischen
Avantgarde-Bewegung Situationistische Internationale um Guy Debord
sprechen eine Vielzahl von Disziplinen an: Kunstgeschichte,
Theater- und Filmwissenschaft, Philosophie, Politik und Literatur.
Obwohl die Manifeste und Aktionen der SI, wie auch Guy Debords Die
Gesellschaft des Spektakels (1967) sich in vielerlei Weise mit
Theater und Medien auseinandersetzen, wurde die Situationistische
Internationale von der theaterwissenschaftlichen Forschung bislang
nur am Rande in den Blick genommen. Diese Studie konzentriert sich
auf die Themenkomplexe Theatralit t und ffentlicher Raum und
untersucht, inwiefern der ffentliche Raum und seine Inszenierung
als Verhandlungsort politischer und gleichzeitig auch k
nstlerischer Normen von der SI genutzt wurde.
