Sites of Memory in American Literatures and Cultures

Herausgegeben von:Hebel, Udo J

Inhalt

This volume brings together twenty original essays by scholars from the United States, Great Britain,
France, Italy, and Germany. It focuses on the centrality of memory and commemoration to the formation,
affirmation, and revision of American histories and identities over the course of more than two centuries.
Individual studies engage theoretical issues and perspectives of American memory studies (Michael Kammen,
Aleida Assmann), discuss literary texts that position themselves at the intersection of personal and cultural
memories and countermemories (Klaus Benesch, Joseph C. Schöpp, François Pitavy, Ulfried Reichardt, Nicolas
Witschi, Renate von Bardeleben), interpret theatrical performances and civic festivities as enactments of
individual and collective remembering (Kurt Müller, Winfried Herget, Heike Bungert, Udo J. Hebel), explore the
potential of films, folk songs, and public buildings as commemorative media and memorial spaces (Winfried
Fluck, James Olney, John Seelye, William Boelhower), and address the political and cultural implications of
literary anthologies, national archives, and virtual libraries (Werner Sollors, Caroline Sloat, Christopher Mulvey,
Hanjo Berressem). The collection offers a seminal contribution to interdisciplinary scholarship on sites of
memory in American literatures und cultures.
