| Summary: | This essay deals with transnationalism as a dominant trend in American Studies, in the United States and abroad, in the first decades of the new millennium. The essay analyzes Transnational American Studies and its broader historical and theoretical frame, focusing on some of its most crucial theoretical elaborations with special regard to the role of non-US scholars. The essay also investigates the transformations occurred in the field after the last presidential elections, which are apparently reinstating the state-nation as the primary focus of interest for both the US and American Studies.
