      abstract = {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  literatureunderstood broadlyto 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.

Katja Sarkowsky is Professor  of American Studies and Chair of American Studies at  Augsburg University, Germany.
