The 1988 report by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is noted for its analysis of the current US crisis in the humanities & the decline in enrollments in these disciplines by college students. The report praises the NEH for supposedly restimulating interest in the humanities, reiterates the call for disseminating culture through study of the humanities, & attacks academia for overspecialization & politicization. The accuracy of the last charge reflects conflicts between the educational & cultural mission of the humanities & the dynamics of professionalism. Political forces are comprised of ideologically distinct scholars who support either a cultural, modernist, or conservative position, or a postmodern/radical deconstructionist/Marxist/feminist/new historicist position. An examination of the shift in Shakespeare studies in high bourgeois Victorian culture literate society to one of passive, decadent culture consumers implicates the negative effects of positivism. J.

Smaro Kamboureli's introduction demonstrates that these essays engage with the larger realm of human and social practices - throne speeches, book clubs, policies of accommodation of cultural and religious differences, Indigenous thought about justice and ethics - to show that literary and critical work is inextricably related to the Canadian polity in light of transnational and global forces.
Most Algerian Francophone literature has been written since 1950, and thus the development of that literature has been intimately linked to the political events which forged the Algerian nation. Especially influential was the 1954-62 war of independence which for many years was a major contextual element in the literature. With the passage of time, the Revolution has begun to be less and less cognitive in the lives and works of the young writers. For some, Revolution lives on in the oneiric evocations of horrors glimpsed, for others it is something relegated to history, whereas for yet others it has become a political and social device. The role the Revolution plays in a writer's creativity has tended to dichotomize the literature into a conservative branch of inward- and backward-looking patriotism and a radical branch of outward- and forward-looking experimentation. Both branches present equally fervent defenses of their loyalty to their country based on a variety of arguments, but the radical branch, regardless of its relative worth in terms of internal affairs, certainly is the branch which tends to transcend national idiom and to express itself in terms of wide-spread and universal literary values.

This Special Topic presents a collection of scholarly essays which emerged from a multi- and interdisciplinary panel series at the 49th Annual Conference of the German Studies Association, and which represent the continuation of a collaborative thought process about transnational and cosmopolitical interventions that re-position the nation as text, performance, and pedagogy. From multiple critical perspectives, these articles examine anthropological, historical, cultural, linguistic, literary, and political reactions to German self-imagination and German imagination of the non-German/non-European "other," thereby raising many questions pertinent to scholarly inquiry in the interdisciplinary field of German Studies.
