Nova knjiga: Stipe Grgas, Američki studiji danas
Stipe Grgas, predstojnik Katedre za amerikanistiku na Filozofskom fakultetu u Zagrebu i predsjednik HUAmS-a, objavio je knjigu Američki studiji danas: identitet, kapital, spacijalnost (Meandar Media 2015). Kako navodi urednik izdanja, “Stipe Grgas u instruktivnoj polemici sa stanjem discipline američkih studija nudi novu perspektivu njezina osmišljavanja razotkrivanjem ekonomskog poretka kao strukturirajuće jezgre američkog iskustva. Kapital i ekonomija vraćaju se u ovoj uzbudljivoj knjizi o krizi i novcu, moći i čitanju na sasvim nov način, jednako zahtjevan i odgovoran za one koji žele ostati u prostoru vlastite struke, ali ništa manje i za one koji su zahvaćeni procesima koji se ne odnose samo na ‘daleku’ Ameriku, koja je središte sveprožimajuće moći kapitala, nego i na našu divlju stvarnost i korporativnu svakodnevicu.” Continue reading →

Working Papers in American Studies, Vol. 1 is online
HUAmS/CAAS is happy to announce the publication of the first volume of Working Papers in American Studies. The essays assembled in this collection were presented at a one-day symposium entitled “Cross-cultural Readings of the United States” held in Zagreb on May 24, 2014. This symposium was an occasion for Croatian Americanists and their colleagues from neighboring countries to present their current research, in particular as it reflects our “local” readings, and interpretations of the United States in its present or past aspects. We are grateful that Professors Walter Hölbling (University of Graz) and Moira Baker (Radford University) acted as key note speakers and lead the way into inspiring discussions. Apart from them, contributors to this volume include: Aleksandra Izgarjan, Borislav Knežević, Sven Cvek, Lovorka Zergollern-Miletić, Tatjana Jukić, Stipe Grgas and Jelena Šesnić. The volume can be viewed or downloaded from our WPAS section.
