American Literature and Culture in Bamberg

 

At the American Studies section in Bamberg, we study American literature and culture from the colonial era to the present. Our research and teaching engages with a variety of literary genres and expressions of popular culture, paying attention to dominant and subversive perspectives and to different ethnic, social and political voices in their dynamic interaction. Always interdisciplinary in outlook, our work combines detailed textual analyses with perspectives from a broad range of fields, including history, the social sciences, gender studies, ethnic studies and environmental studies. We are particularly interested in the dynamics of literary and historical change, the emancipatory potential of American culture, and the transatlantic interactions between American and European cultures.
