Matt12710 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Can anyone comment on the history of/between American Studies, American Cultural Studies, and Cultural Studies? How would you describe the overlap and divergence between these fields? Furthermore, can anyone provide some seminal reading lists (texts, articles, etc.), especially for American Studies and Cultural Studies? I have a smattering of both in my literature M.A. but I'm trying to give myself a comprehensive overview and it's proving difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtHistoryandMuseum Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 As I am interested in material and visual culture in early America, I'm also curious about these fields, overlaps and distinguishing features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtHistoryandMuseum Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Throwing an idea out there -- I wonder if spending time on university websites would help distinguish major differences, or assist your comprehensive review any, say BU's American and New England Studies?
