- W265194635 abstract "Notes on founding of IASA and Outsiders in domain of knowledge, unite. You have nothing to lose but your claims. You have a world of understanding to win. --Robert K. Merton, Insiders and Outsiders: A Chapter in Sociology of Knowledge (1972) The formal scholarly organization of American Studies is about half a century old. Its beginnings are thus at about same distance in time from us as is subject of a good historical novel. So far, there have been two distinct chapters in American Studies--the Cold War and age of Multiculturalism. A third chapter has been in making for some time now; for what both chapters one and two had in common was a predominantly national organization of field, with American Studies Association of USA (ASA) at center. Only in Europe was an international association created, but this European Association for American Studies (EAAS) was limited to European member associations and individuals. There are many scholars--both outside of and within United States--who have made case for internationalizing field. Earlier voices (such as those of Marshall Fishwick, Robert H. Walker, and Bernard Mergen) were joined in 1990s by a powerful chorus of Americanists who have argued for a decentering of field, both intellectually and organizationally. Richard P. Horwitz, Michael Cowan, Eric Sandeen, Emory Elliott, Rob Kroes, Jane Desmond, Virginia Dominguez, Gonul Pultar, Bruce Robbins, and Andre Kaenel are among many who have contributed to debate (see http:/ /www.georgetown.edu/crossroads/interroads). In past decade, a part of this discussion has been call for founding an international association for field of American Studies that would complement work of ASA International Committee and of many national associations, follow example of Organization of American Historians (OAH), and create a new post-Cold War atmosphere of international cooperation on a global scale. How could such an intellectual agenda and professional organization be imagined? How would it lead to new approaches to its subject? How could it be helped by many existing efforts at international exchanges? How in turn could it help them? Might even subject of American Studies--the United States of America--change in hemispheric perspectives on the Americas and in transnational approaches to issues of modernity? It was in order to address these issues and to draw institutional consequences from them that Djelal Kadir (Penn State University) convened a working conference at Rockefeller Foundation's Conference and Study Center in Bellagio (Italy), at which twenty-two participants from twelve countries (and also members of eleven national and multinational American Studies associations) founded new International American Studies Association, IASA. The intense, three-day meeting, uninterrupted by any excursions into temptingly beautiful Lake Como environment, opened with question posed by IASA Founding President and Charter Member on Governing Board of International Foundation for Global Studies Djelal Kadir, Why has there not been an international association for American Studies? He criticized wedding of ontology and exception permeating field and pleaded for creation of a new association that would become an agora of ideas. The contribution of International American Studies Association may reside in its capacity to divert American Studies from perils of redundancy. Because, difference between American American Studies and International American Studies amounts to a difference between circling wagons of tautology, on one hand, and truly emancipatory plurality of openness and multivalence on other. In describing recent trajectories in practice of American Studies by US-based scholars, ASA President Mary Kelley (Dartmouth College) seconded a call for comparative approaches and critical internationalism. …" @default.
