Special Forum Introduction
Ever since his travels to the Sandwich Islands, Europe, Russia, and the Holy Land in the 1860s, Mark Twain found vital sources of inspiration and energy abroad. His writing, in turn, intrigued readers around the world, and international appraisals would shape

Envisioning Transnational American Studies
The Journal of Transnational American Studies (JTAS) was founded to provide a home for cutting-edge, border-crossing, multidisciplinary scholarship in American Studies focused on transnational topics that deserved a broad global audience. An openaccess, peer-reviewed online journal that is among the relatively small number of borndigital journals selected for preservation by the Library of Congress, JTAS has sought fresh and original work in a br…

Redefinitions of Citizenship and Revisions of Cosmopolitanism—Transnational Perspectives
It is both a pleasure and a privilege to offer this response to the essays in the symposium “Redefinitions of Citizenship and Revisions of Cosmopolitanism—Transnational Perspectives” by five of the leading scholars in the field. Indeed, without the transformative earlier work by these five scholars, the field of American Studies would look very different than it does today. Each of them has pioneered in bringing transnational perspectives on our …
Deep Maps”
This article proposes a potentially fruitful “next step” for transnational American Studies, inviting colleagues around the world to collaborate on Digital Palimpsest Mapping Projects—DPMPs, or “Deep Maps.” “Deep Maps,” curated collaboratively by scholars in multiple locations, would put multilingual digital archives around the globe in conversation with one another, using maps as the gateway. “Deep Maps” could be read as palimpsests, allowing mu…
The Reconstruction of Mark Twain
By fostering an image of himself as a “reconstructed southerner who experienced history from a cosmic vantage point” (p. 44), Mark Twain could eschew the reconciliationist “language of forgetfulness and fraternalism” that pervaded the postwar era while nurturing his growing reputation as a genuinely “national” author (p. 48). “Such an identity,” Joe B. Fulton argues persuasively, “provided him with the ground to dissent from the reunited country’…
Crossroads of Cultures
This address is dedicated to the memory of Gloria Anzaldúa, who passed away last May. With her death, I lost a friend. The world lost a brilliant theorist of the arbitrariness of borders and the pain that they inflict, of the harsh realities of internal colonization, and of the challenges and delights of embracing multiple psychic locations. Anzaldúa saw the border between the United States and Mexico as "una herida abierta, where the Third World…

Listening to Silences
Thirty years ago, in a lecture at the Radcliffe Institute, Tillie Olsen first addressed the problem of silences in literature-paving the way for future explorations of the subject, including her landmark work, Silences. The subject of silences and silencing-as fact, as trope, as lens through which to understand literary history-has been central to feminist criticism ever since. In Listening to Silences, a group of distinguished feminist literary …

Listening To Silences
Interpreting or expanding on Tillie Olsen’s Silences, a group of distinguished feminist critics explores the subject of silence and silencing in literature, criticism, and the academy, to provide, for the first time, a context for an important American critical tradition that continues to influence contemporary debates about feminism, multiculturalism, and the literary canon.
