"The United States was born in the country", Richard Hofstadter once wrote, "and remained emotionally attached to it long after it had moved away", David B. Danbom added in his 'History of Rural America'. Thus it may be argued that the study of American culture and civilization, first and foremost, needs to make sense of the rural.

This volume sheds light on the nexus between knowledge and literature. Arranged historically, contributions address both popular and canonical English and US-American writing from the early modern period to the present. They focus on how historically specific texts engage with epistemological questions in relation to material and social forms as well as representation. The authors discuss literature as a culturally embedded form of knowledge production in its own right, which deploys narrative and poetic means of exploration to establish an independent and sometimes dissident archive. The worlds that imaginary texts project are shown to open up alternative perspectives to be reckoned with in the academic articulation and public discussion of issues in economics and the sciences, identity formation and wellbeing, legal rationale and political decision-making.

Gesellschaftspolitische Entwicklungen und ihre literarischen und medialen Reflexionen werden in der aktuellen wissenschaftlichen Debatte verstärkt im Hinblick auf Fragen nach Ethik, Anerkennung und Gerechtigkeit diskutiert. Unter Rückgriff auf kulturwissenschaftliche und poststrukturalistische Theorien widmen sich die Beiträge des Bandes philosophischen Positionen zur Ethik des Subjekts, misslingender oder verweigerter Anerkennung in gesellschaftlichen Praktiken wie Antisemitismus und Rassismus, sowie dem Verhältnis von Gerechtigkeit und Erinnerung angesichts sozialer und kultureller Asymmetrien.
