We are happy to announce today the release of two new issues of AMERICANA: Volume VI, Number 2, Fall 2010, and Volume VII, Number 1, Spring 2011. With this move we have finally caught up with the release cycle, too, which means you get the spring issue when it really is spring – and we promise to keep up with this in the future.
Volume VI, Number 2, Fall 2010 brings you various topics from scholars and researchers from all around the world. From Pynchon to Auster, from the American Gothic to early American drama adaptations, from Star Trek to political cartoons and to more pragmatic, educational issues, this new release follows the tradition of our endeavor to provide an academic forum for the wide range of scholarly engagements in the field of American Studies worldwide.
Volume VII, Number 1, Spring 2011 is guest edited by Lenke Németh and Gabriella Varró, and features essays selected from the Eighth Biennial Conference of the Hungarian Association for American Studies hosted by the Institute of English and American Studies, University of Debrecen in November 2010. This first volume (in the line of three subsequent volumes) dedicated to the proceedings gathers together articles, where the main focus is the presentation and narration of cultural identity as addressed in a great variety of textual and visual/movie productions as well as material traces of the past.
