Inhalt:
"Transnationalism" has become a key term reflecting concern with today's unprecedented flows of commodities, fashions, ideas, and people across national borders. Literature has always been a means of border crossing and transgression, and it is also becoming more and more a "moving medium" that creates a transnational space by circulating around the world, both reflecting on the reality of transnationalism and participating in it. This volume refines our understanding of transnationalism both as a contemporary reality and as a concept and an analytical tool --
Anmerkung:
"The foundation for this volume was laid at a three-day-long seminar workshop entitled "Transnationalisms : sexualities, fantasies, and the world beyond" that took place at the Thirty-Seventh annual conference of the German Studies Association in Denver, Colorado, October 3-6, 2013" (Acknowledgments)
