Wie verhält sich das Verwenden von Worten anderer im Modus des Zitats zum Denken und zur Form eines skeptischen Diskurses in der französischen Spätrenaissance und Frühaufklärung? Montaignes emprunts der humanistischen Gelehrsamkeit sind zentraler Bestandteil der Poetik seiner Essais; seine charakteristische peinture de passage orchestriert einen Wechsel der Stimmen innerhalb seines großen humanistischen Selbstportraits. Zitieren - avant la lettre, da Montaigne noch nicht über den Begriff und die Konvention verfügt - wird zum formalen Mittel eines skeptischen Schreibens, das die Dinge in der Schwebe halten will. Bayle greift diese Technik in seiner "Rüstkammer der Aufklärung" auf, um sie mit den Mitteln der bibliographischen Akribie neu zu gestalten; nunmehr auf den Begriff gebracht, wird Zitieren zum kritischen modus operandi einer skeptischen Erschütterung des historischen Bestands der philosophischen Tradition.

American Studies has long been a home for adventurous students seeking to understand the culture and politics of the United States. This welcoming spirit has found appeal around the world, but at the heart of the field is an identity crisis. Nearly every effort to articulate an American Studies methodology has been rejected for fear of losing intellectual flexibility and freedom. But what if these fears are misplaced? Providing a fresh look at American Studies in practice, this book contends that a shared set of "rules" can offer a springboard to creativity. American Studies: A User's Guide offers readers a critical introduction to the history and methods of the field as well as useful strategies for interpretation, curation, analysis, and theory.

In 1964 an Urban League survey ranked Los Angeles as the most desirable city for African Americans to live in. In 1965 the city burst into flames during one of the worst race riots in the nation's history. How the city came to such a pass-embodying both the best and worst of what urban America offered black migrants from the South-is the story told for the first time in this history of modern black Los Angeles. A clear-eyed and compelling look at black struggles for equality in L.A.'s neighborhoods, schools, and workplaces from the Great Depression to our day, L.A. City Limits critically refocuses the ongoing debate about the origins of America's racial and urban crisis. Challenging previous analysts' near-exclusive focus on northern "rust-belt" cities devastated by de-industrialization, Josh Sides asserts that the cities to which black southerners migrated profoundly affected how they fared. He shows how L.A.'s diverse racial composition, dispersive geography, and dynamic postwar economy often created opportunities-and limits-quite different from those encountered by blacks in the urban North.
