/This virtual conference focuses on collaborative transnational cultural
studies and wants to investigate how encounters with the English
language and ‘American culture’ have shaped European identities. Sites
of these encounters span literary and cultural texts (e.g. novels, short
stories, plays, films, TV series), corporate mass culture (e.g. Social
Networks, technological products or fashion items) as well as
countercultural phenomena (e.g. social movements).//‘America’ in this
project is an object of study that functions as a cultural process of
translation. //The //primary research question is to examine how the
signifier ‘America’ functions as an intermediary in the production of
transnational civic European cultures./

The conference will gather researchers from universities, colleges and
companies from all around the globe. The event will connect different
cultures and knowledge, thus contributing to the improvement of
intercultural communication and research skills.
