Descriere
PREZENTARE CARTE
As made clear by the ten contributions that form an engaging and cohesive whole, the eighth American Studies volume authored by M.A. and Ph.D. students at the West University of Timișoara, under the coordination of the local team of specialists, proves the diversity and versatility of research topics that this generous study field affords and encourages. Far from proposing tedious or obsolete subjects of discussion, it illustrates the young researchers’ preoccupation with finding interpretive niches that might allow them to provide additional insight and innovative contributions to the already existing literature. As such, it is closely connected to relevant issues in the study of the United States and its evolution as a socio-cultural phenomenon across the ages. By descending from the ivory tower of the academia into the real-life agora of the community, today’s contributors support the view according to which research in the humanities is essential to providing the necessary critical tools and vocabulary for a deeper, more thorough, and more empathic understanding of past, present, and future realities.
