Today, coolness is a term most often used in advertising trendy commodities, or, more generally, in promoting urban lifestyles. The Cultural Career of Coolness explores the history of the term as a metaphor for affect control and aesthetic detachment, charts various cultural practices of coolness in the United States and Japan, and links them to the rationalization of intimate relations and an incorporation of disaffection in modernity.

The "public sphere" -- an idea with deep roots in the European enlightenment -- has always been a contested concept in American culture and society. American intellectuals, artists, politicians, and activists have stressed the non-unitary, diversified, and oppositional dynamics of all things public. From the early days of the American republic, competing interest groups and commercial mass media (first newspapers, novels, and the theater, then radio, television, and the internet) have worked to pluralize public speech and public action -- and ultimately the notion of "publicness" itself. This essay collection explores the public sphere in North America as a multi-agential, commercially embattled, highly mediated, and ultimately trans-nationalized aggregate of publics and counterpublics. The contributors present innovative theoretical and historical assessments of American counter/publics across an array of fields including social activism, political communication, literary discourse, and contemporary mass media.

Das Symposion resümiert Perspektiven auf die Allegorie im Anschluss an Benjamin und de Man und entwickelt sie weiter. Die Allegorie wird dabei als Reflexion des Zeichens im Zeichen aufgefasst. Mit selbstreflexiven Praktiken des Fragments, des Zitats, der Collage oder beispielsweise einer ironisch ausgestellten Metanarrativität und Metafiktionalität haben Moderne und Postmoderne zu einer Wiederkehr der Allegorie als analytischer Kategorie Anlass gegeben. Sie macht auch diejenigen Zeichenpraktiken neu lesbar, die zuvor als mimetisch begriffen worden sind.Der Schwerpunkt des Bandes liegt auf kulturwissenschaftlichen und historischen Fragestellungen. Themen sind u.a.: die Allegorie als eine Technik des Erinnerns, Aneignens, Durchdringens und Überlagerns von Kulturen; die symbolische Selbstverständigung kultureller Kollektive mittels allegorischer Narrative; die Diskurse, in denen die Allegorie im Feld historischer Konkurrenzbegriffe diskutiert wird; allegorische Verfahren des Verrätselns und Verbergens im Sinne des Geheimnisses oder der Chiffre. Anhand exemplarischer Analysen von Texten, Bildern und multimedialen Inszenierungen werden die allegorischen Formen des Zeigens und Bedeutens in einem historisch je spezifischen sozialen Feld der Kunst- und Kulturproduktion situiert.

How to do cultural studies in the 21st century? This essay collection is not a handbook, encyclopedia, or a »state of the field« compendium. Instead, it is a reflexive exercise in cultural studies, featuring fifteen accessible essays on a selection of critical key works published since 2000. The contributors aim to provide readers with a fresh and engaging look at recent criticism, exploring the interdisciplinary traffic of theories, methods, and ideas within the field of cultural and literary studies. This book shows how the work of Lauren Berlant, Rita Felski, Fred Moten, Anna Tsing, and others can inspire new thinking and theorizing for the twenty-first century.
