This book investigates transnational processes through the analytic lens of cultural performance.

Structured around key concepts of performance studiescommons, skills, and tracesthis edited collection addresses the political, normative, and historical implications of cultural performances beyond the limits of the (US) nation-state. These three central aspects of performance function as entryways to inquiries into transnational processes and allow the authors to shift the discussion away from text-centered approaches to intercultural encounters and to bring into focus the dynamic field that opens up between producer, art work, context, setting, and audience in the moment of performance as well as in its afterlife. The chapters provide fresh, performance-based approaches to notions of transcultural mobility and circulation, transnational cultural experience and knowledge formation, transnational public spheres, and identities rootedness in both specific local places and diasporic worlds beyond the written word.

This book will be of great interest to scholars and students of American studies, performance studies, and transnational studies

In their four-hour durational piece Border Movement, performed at Die Beginen in Rostock, Germany, on December 2, 2016, Puerto Rican performance artist

The stark symbolism of a performance piece in which a borderline is etched into a female body is a particularly forceful illustration of the central concerns of this edited collection. American Cultures as Transnational Performance: Commons, Skills, Traces explores the ways in which the analytic lens of performance can enable us to uncover, describe, and assess transnational encounters, productions, and processes. In this volume, we propose that many issues and interests of transnational American studiesa field in which the transnational is both method and object of studycan be productively addressed with concepts and approaches derived from the field of performance studies, which has produced tools and methodologies uniquely suited to address mobile, transient, and otherwise fluid aspects and representations of American culture.

Importantly for our consideration of the transnational, we do not assume that borders and nations have become obsolete or lost their impact on the subjects and subjectivities within and without their confines. Even though we live in a rapidly globalizing world, the nation-state still exerts considerable genealogical force (Butler and Spivak 2007, 76). Moreover, we do not seek to advance a model of transnationalism that conceptualizes transnational processes as mere interactions between self-enclosed nation-states, which despite such interactions retain their predetermined characteristics, as if they were sealed containers bumping into one another. Instead, this volume approaches transnational spaces, encounters, and processes via the critical interrogation of the forces that establish and maintain borders and national(ist) thinking in the first place. It is only when we understand how the very notion of American culture is constructed, defended, and contested that we can focus on the United States in transnational contexts as a participant in a global flow of people, ideas, texts, and products (Fishkin 2005, 24).

American Cultures as Transnational Performance seeks to put into focus some of the multifarious ways in which the United States participates in this global flow by exploring the complex and ambivalent entanglements of the national and the transnational. To do so, we rely on and employ a number of concepts developed over the last decades in a broadly defined context of (global) cultural studies: Americanization and national adaptation (Kroes 1996), exchange and dialogics (Lenz 2002), circulation (Edwards 2011), transculturation (Ortiz 1995), transdifference (Breinig and Lsch 2002), hybridization (Bhabha 2004), the contact zone (Pratt 1991), but also concepts that rethink the local specificities and roots of global cultural contacts and practices (Cvetkovich and Kellner 2018; Robertson 1995). We make use of these concepts grounded in the premise that transnational processes are constituted by and negotiated across multiple scales of communal belonging (ranging from city to region to nation to borderlands to diasporic and cosmopolitan communities) and multiple, simultaneous social and cultural identifications.
