Fluck","doi":"10.2307/1354467","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/1354467","url":null,"abstract":"In one sense, the future of American Studies seems to be more promising than ever. Because there are so many contested issues and intellectual challenges in the field, American Studies have gained greatly in theoretical interest. On the institutional level, the number of professional positions created after World War II in colleges and universities all over the world is remarkable. At the same time, this successful intellectual and institutional expansion has intensified a problem from which the humanities suffer in general, namely that of a growing proliferation and fragmentation of knowledge.' Ironically enough, this development threatens to undermine the very promise which underlies the success story of the humanities: the promise of meaning. If an interpretation is to provide more than the projection of a strong image of identification, then it should aim at the integration of a number of other perspectives on the text. However, if there are roughly 20 different theoretical approaches to the interpretation of The Adventures of Huckle-","PeriodicalId":430011,"journal":{"name":"The Futures of American Studies","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131142569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Earlier approaches, such as the Puritan Origins and Myth-and-Symbol schools, attempted to elaborate those features of American identity and social organization that are unique national characteristics. Often implicit in this nationalist approach to the study of U.S. culture was the assumption that the United States constitutes a model for democratic nationality that might be imitated or otherwise adapted by other nations in varying stages of their \"development.\" The criticism of such \"American Exceptionalism\" has focused on both its contributions to U.S. cultural imperialism and its exclusions of the different cultures historically crucial to U.S. social, political, and economic development. In response to concepts of American identity shaped by Western patriarchy and Eurocentric models for social organization, more recent critical approaches have focused on the many cultures that have been marginalized by","PeriodicalId":430011,"journal":{"name":"The Futures of American Studies","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130981138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
