AMS 402 - Remaking American Studies

Institution:

Princeton University

Subject:

Description:

This seminar is an experiment that engages its members in two questions: What should every student know about a mysterious and impossible subject of study, America? And second, how best to go about approaching and formulating (even as we interrogate) this knowledge? The seminar offers an opportunity to think about what American Studies is today as a set of practices. It considers conceptions of nationhood, as well as changing notions of individualism, identity, subjecthood, race, and class. It confronts the problem of interdisciplinarity in humanistic study. It also takes seriously the internationalization of "America".
