Abstract

Werner Sollors is one of the first scholars of American literature to focus on African American literature before it was thought to constitute a canon in the academy. Unlike many other scholars who shared his focus, he completed his education in postwar Germany. The title of his doctoral dissertation on LeRoi Jones (Amiri Baraka), completed at the Free University of Berlin in 1975, has a still-contemporary ring: “The Quest for a ‘Populist Modernism.’” He taught at Columbia University, received a Guggenheim fellowship, and spent the bulk of his career in the United States. In this interview he discusses his intellectual formation and offers reflections on the development of his field, the evolving institutional culture of the university, and 1970s-era multiculturalism.

在欧洲和美洲之间

Werner Sollors是最早关注非裔美国文学的美国文学学者之一在非裔美国文学被认为是学术界的经典之前。与其他许多与他关注的学者不同，他在战后的德国完成了他的教育。他1975年在柏林自由大学(Free University of Berlin)完成的关于勒罗伊·琼斯(Amiri Baraka)的博士论文题目仍然带有当代色彩:“对‘民粹主义现代主义’的追求”。’”他曾在哥伦比亚大学(Columbia University)任教，获得了古根海姆(Guggenheim)奖学金，职业生涯的大部分时间都在美国度过。在这次采访中，他讨论了他的智力形成，并对他的领域的发展、大学制度文化的演变以及20世纪70年代的多元文化主义提出了反思。

期刊介绍： Public Culture is a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal of cultural studies, published three times a year—in January, May, and September. It is sponsored by the Department of Media, Culture, and Communication, NYU. A four-time CELJ award winner, Public Culture has been publishing field-defining ethnographies and analyses of the cultural politics of globalization for over thirty years. The journal provides a forum for the discussion of the places and occasions where cultural, social, and political differences emerge as public phenomena, manifested in everything from highly particular and localized events in popular or folk culture to global advertising, consumption, and information networks. Artists, activists, and scholars, both well-established and younger, from across the humanities and social sciences and around the world, present some of their most innovative and exciting work in the pages of Public Culture.
