Transnationality of American Literature and American English
\nBelgrade, April 4th, 2020<\/p>\n

Key note speaker: Carmen Birkle<\/a>, University of Marburg, Germany<\/p>\n

According to Rocio Davis, transnationalism has become one of the constitutive modes of cultural production in the twenty-first century. Taking as a point of departure Shelley Fisher Fishkin\u2019s mapping of the \u201ctransnational turn\u201d in American Studies, it examines the multilayered contexts of cultural production in and beyond the United States. It explores the ways U.S. cultural production has been reimagined as a result of political and social movements in the twentieth century, how it has traveled and been received outside the country, as well as how globalization has shaped American sensibilities and artifacts. Contemporary cultural products are viewed as a transcultural phenomenon, which implies the play between global and local flows and influences.<\/p>\n

We propose looking at American culture as a transnational phenomenon which implies the following:
\n\u2013 rethinking of the borders of cultures as porous and destabilized, which enables the mixing of different cultural gradients
\n\u2013 construction of different subject positions in the fictional works regarding the identity politics, with special focus on the hybridity of cultures and hybrid characters (African-American, Asian-American, Native American, Chicano, etc.)
\n\u2013 analysis of the hegemonic models of poetry, prose and drama, created within American literature that became global models influential in other parts of the world
\n\u2013 looking at the models of literature whose origins are in other parts of the world, or their ingredients, which have become important in American literature<\/p>\n

Transnationality in the context of American English is understood as involving:
\n\u2013 the concept of transnationalism which is connected with the concepts of translinguism, and transculturalism (the status of American English in everyday practices as well as the relations of first and second, or third language in everyday use and in literature)
\n\u2013 examination of the notion of ideal cognitive or functional language competence
\n\u2013 discussion of the status of English in the globalized world as a lingua franca related to American imperialism
\n\u2013 non-native speakers\u2019 reception of and attitudes toward varieties of American English.<\/p>\n

Transnationality within EFL\/ESL Methodology includes but is not limited to the followng topics:
\n\u2013 Re-thinking the role of EFL\/ESL Methodology in the intercultural world the intercultural and digital world
\n\u2013 Interculturalism in foreign language education: challenges and perspectives
\n\u2013 Fostering intercultural communication in contemporary society
\n\u2013 Addressing culture in EFL\/ESL classrooms: re-thinking practices
\n\u2013 Multicultural encounters in foreign language classrooms
\n\u2013 Developing intercultural communicative competence in the EFL classroom
\n\u2013 Addressing the professional development of language teachers in the international world
\n\u2013 Language learning and teaching in the context of international student exchange programs
\n\u2013 Developing intercultural empathy and sensitivity inside and outside the language classroom<\/p>\n
