    In Toni Morrison’s A Mercy, the protagonist represents both the historical and the contemporary African American author. As Mueller argues, her act of carving words into walls can be read as an act of resistance against the historical silencing of the black voice as well as politically against symbolic violence exercised through language.

    Hauptbeschreibung After decades of research into the role of memory, trauma, and historiography in her work, to say that Toni Morrison's novels deal with the presence of the past may seem like a truism. But the complexity of Morrison's vision originates in her understanding of the nature of this past as both individual and collective. This study approaches Morrison's more recent novels on the basis of both literary analysis and sociological theory: drawing on the work of Pierre Bourdieu and Norbert Elias, it shows that the presence of the past in her work unfolds not only in images of memory and trauma, but in her portrayal of a past that is active in bodies, minds, and social institutions. In 'Paradise' (1998) and 'Love' (2003) this active presence of the past threatens to undermine the African American community from within; in 'A Mercy' (2008), Morrison takes us to the symbolic beginnings of structural inequality in the United States. Taking its cue from Pierre Bourdieu's definition of habitus as 'presence of the past', this study shows that in writing about the past Toni Morrison really is exploring the conditions of possibility for the present

    Chapter 1: Reading the Social: An Introduction -- Chapter 2: Recognition, Literature, and their Social Dependence: An Inquiry into the Work of Bourdieu and Elias. Chapter 3: ‘Habit’ and the Concept of Character in American Literary Realism and Pragmatist Thought: The Example of William Dean Howells and the James Bothers -- Chapter 4: Pushing the ‘Envelope of Circumstances’: Reading the Social with Henry James and Pierre Bourdieu -- Chapter 5: Systemic Racism: Reading Ralph Ellison with Bourdieu’s Theory of Power -- Chapter 6: “On the Margins of One Group and Three Countries”: Exile, Belonging, and the Sociological Imagination in Reinhard Bendix’s From Berlin to Berkeley -- Chapter: 7. J.D. Vance, Cultural Alien: on Upward Mobility -- Chapter 8: Literariness and the Double Bind of Stigma -- Chapter 9: Civilization and Its Discontents: Reading Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club with Norbert -- Chapter 10: Reading Populism with Bourdieu and Elias -- Chapter 11: Reading the Social in Photography: Emotional Practices, Power Relations, and Iconography. Reading the Social in American Studies offers a unique exploration of the advantages and benefits in using sociological terms and concepts in American literary and cultural studies and, conversely, in using literature—understood broadly—to uncover a microlevel of the social. Its temporal scope ranges from the early 19th to the 21st century, providing a historical dimension that is otherwise often missing from studies on the conjunction of literature and sociology. The contributors’ approaches include genre reflections as well as close readings, theoretical discussions of crucial sociological terms, and literary observations backed up by empirical sociological studies. The book will familiarize international readers with ideas on the social from both sides of the Atlantic, including scholarship of such figures as John Dewey, Georg Simmel, Norbert Elias, and Pierre Bourdieu. Astrid Franke is Professor for American Literature and Culture at Tübingen University, Germany. Katja Sarkowsky is Professor of American Studies and Chair of American Studies at Augsburg University, Germany. Stefanie Mueller is a lecturer at the Institute of English and American Studies, Goethe-University Frankfurt, Germany. .

    How to do cultural studies in the 21st century? This essay collection is not a handbook, encyclopedia, or a »state of the field« compendium. Instead, it is a reflexive exercise in cultural studies, featuring fifteen accessible essays on a selection of critical key works published since 2000. The contributors aim to provide readers with a fresh and engaging look at recent criticism, exploring the interdisciplinary traffic of theories, methods, and ideas within the field of cultural and literary studies. This book shows how the work of Lauren Berlant, Rita Felski, Fred Moten, Anna Tsing, and others can inspire new thinking and theorizing for the twenty-first century.
