As against a reform of American literary study in the direction of “pluralism” (i.e., recognizing the existence of multiple—but mutually independent—cultural traditions within the domain of American literature), Jay argues that “[o]ur goal should be rather to construct a multicultural and dialogical paradigm for the study of writing in the United States (264).The emphasis on the interplay among the multicultural traditions of the United States is the central thrust of his argument: “Within the boundaries of the US, the lines between cultural groups do not form impassable walls, though they often take oppressive shape.Historically these zones are an area of constant passage back and forth, as each culture borrows, imitates, exploits, subjugates, subverts, mimics, ignores, or celebrates the others.The myth of assimilation homogenizes this process by representing it as the progressive acquiescence of every other group to a dominant culture” (268).Jay adopts Gerald Graff’s notion of “teaching the conflicts” as a term for describing the pedagogy he advocates: “Facile pluralism might be avoided through demonstrations of the real conflicts between texts and cultures.I advocate courses in which the materials are chosen for the ways in which they actively interfere with each other’s experiences, languages, and values and for their power to expand the horizon of the student’s cultural literacy to encompass peoples he or she has scarcely acknowledged as real” (274).These “interference” might occur between texts, but it might also occur within a given text: e.g., Tillie Olsen’s Tell Me a Riddle (1961) in which “the contrast between Jewish-American and Mexican-American assimilation unfolds a multicultural fable of the politics of recollected identities” (273).“Clearly a multicultural reconception of ‘Writing in the United States’ will lead us to change drastically or eventually abandon the conventional historical narratives, period designations, and major themes and authors previously dominating ‘American literature’” (275).

Uses Rorty to discuss two aspects of ethnocentrism—hermeneutic and political—in the activity of cultural comparison.Mailloux accepts the inevitability of hermeneutic ethnocentrism, drawing on the relativist and antifoundationalist “sophistic” tradition of rhetoric, since the act of comparison takes place in relation to criteria or standards that are always specific to a particular historical community: “at any point in the [cultural] space/time continuum, our own web of vocabularies, beliefs, and desires—the communal and individual subjects/agents that we are—comprise the delimiting and enabling conditions of our comparative activities.We can never stand completely outside all cultural positions objectively comparing our ethnos with another alien one, but neither are we free to actualize any position whatsoever or convincingly make any comparisons we want through some imagined freedom of absolute relativism.We are ‘we’ because of our being positioned within a culture in a particular set of practices // that empowers and constrains acts of interpretive and evaluative comparison” (117-18).While he acknowledges that this situation can produce unjust evaluations (as Lyotard emphasizes through his notion of a “differend”), Mailloux denies that it can produce incommensurability, complete failure of communication: “No community can be so different from // another than cross-cultural communication is in principle forever doomed to fail” (120-21).Mailloux raises large and important theoretical issues, but it’s not exactly clear what the implications of his argument are at the level of practice (cross-cultural interpretive practice).

Emphasizing the need to connect “the research and teaching components of the new American Studies” (x), this volume brings together critical essays and syllabi for sample (imaginary) courses that embody the outlook presented in the essays: “’How would you develop a course out of these ideas?’ was the question we asked ourselves” (xi).Notes omissions in the volume: Native American Studies; Western hemisphere approaches (e.g., Caribbean, Latin American, Canadian comparativist studies) (xii).The contributors seek “to contribute to a version of American Studies that is less insular and parochial, and more internationalist and comparative.In this sense, our efforts to formulate a post-nationalist American Studies respond to and seek to revise the cultural nationalism and celebratory American exceptionalism that often informed the work of American Studies scholars in the Cold War era” (2).

A useful discussion of the claims of Ethnic Studies programs and particular areas of study (African American Studies, Latino/a and Chicano/a Studies, Native American Studies, Asian American Studies) vis-à-vis the current move towards a “post-nationalist” or “cosmopolitan” emphasis in American Studies.Sánchez’s discussion illuminates how vexed these issues are, how much they are overdetermined by various agendas, and how moves to a revised and multicultural American Studies can work to marginalize (once again) the perspectives brought into academic circulation by advocates of Ethnic Studies programs.“[I]f a true conversation is to exist between Ethnic Studies and American Studies,” he writes, “we must collectively fight off the tendency to collapse difference into some new nationalist paradigm, even if ‘multicolored’” (56).

Lowe, Lisa. “Immigration, Citizenship, Racialization: Asian American Critique.” Immigrant Acts: On Asian American Cultural Politics. Durham, NC: Duke UP, 1996. 1-36.

In the preface, Lowe describes her book as a “materialist critique of the institution of citizenship” that “name[s] the genealogy of the legal exclusion, disenfranchisement, and restricted enfranchisement of Asian immigrants as a genealogy of the American institution of citizenship” (ix).The first chapter, which is the introduction to the book’s project, traces the history of Asian immigration to the U.S., and anti-Asian immigration exclusion acts, in light of the various contradictions in economic and political imperatives at play in a given historical moment.She also works through a theory of culture as a site of material struggle, where some of these unresolved contradictions mentioned above emerge, and she brings the introduction up to the present with a discussion of labor and globalization.This chapter offers an accessible though sophisticated (Marxist-inflected) model for how to think about cultural texts in relation to historical/national/political debates, and it is a quick introduction to the history of Asians in the U.S.

(How have globalizing tendencies in the discipline, insofar as they are present, contributed to the remapping of literary studies not just in the modern era but in all periods of literary studies?What new topics, issues, and problems has the globalization of literary studies, wherever it has occurred, brought into critical discussion and, just as assuredly, kept out of it?How have tendencies to globalize literary studies been assisted, challenged, or thwarted by specific critical methodologies?What influence have such globalizing tendencies had on revising inherited notions not only of the literary and the aesthetic but also of the cultural and the historical?What impact have they had on the reconceptualization of literature’s relation with other expressive media, such as film, photography, television, and the Internet, and with pursuits like journalism and scholarship?In what specific ways has this new sensitivity to the interconnections among discursive fields and expressive practices, in and across cultures and in and across periods, changed the object of knowledge in literary studies?What problems are involved in associating the reconfiguration of literary study with processes of global restructuring that are by turns demographic, economic, political, environmental, cultural, and social?And what alterations have these developments forced on practices of teaching, research, writing, curricular organization, and departmental administration?” [18-19])

Nichols defines theory as a “historically situated process of conceptualization and generalization” (34), and breaks down theorization about film into three moments, which it shares with modern literary and cultural study (35).In his history, film theory begins with a belief in the correspondence of a work of art to the historical world through “classic historicist assumptions” (35).In the 1960s and 1970s this gives way to a formalist turn, which coincided with the emergence of film studies as a field of academic study.The third, contemporary, moment is a post-structural moment that situates film within larger social processes and is attentive to local and material concepts such as gender, ethnicity, and class rather than abstract generalities such as the Zeitgeist. Nichols then proposes using the concepts of visual culture, representation, and rhetoric as a way of thinking about contemporary directions in film theory, including the place of questions of multiculturalism and identity politics.This essay is relatively abstract, but the attempt to locate changing theories of film in relation to changing social, historical, and political concerns is useful for thinking about how (and why) different kinds of issues have animated theoretical discussions in different historical moments.

This introduction is focused upon the definition of terms such as “Eurocentrism” in a general summary of the methodology used in the book.While the debate within which they situate their work is historically of the mid-nineties, their approach of making connections—in temporal terms, spatial/geographical terms, disciplinary terms, intertextual terms, and conceptual terms (5)—may be useful for thinking about a broader context for “English studies,” or whatever it is that we’re calling what we do now.

Yoshimoto offers a critical history of American scholarship on Japanese cinema, which he divides into three phases, roughly corresponding to the 1960s, the 1970s, and the 1980s. He considers how each of these phases constructs Japanese cinema as an object of knowledge, and he focuses on the institutional and disciplinary questions raised by these constructions in the field of film studies.This work provides an interesting case study, but the very specific focus on film studies, and the numerous citations of works in the field may make it more oriented to specialists than a more broadly conceived project might be.
