"A major strength of this new work is that it encompasses both the spatial and the historical dimensions of transnationalism in France.”<br />Alec G. Hargreaves, Florida State University

"This book constitutes a remarkably powerful and necessary intervention which will find its place alongside other recent attempts at challenging narrow and stereotypical understandings of French culture. This critical intervention is a very welcome contribution to the efforts aimed at asserting France’s intrinsic diversity."<br />Etienne Achille, Villanova University

The contributors to Transnational French Studies situate this disciplinary subfield of Modern Languages in actively transnational frameworks. The key objective of the volume is to define the core set of skills and methodologies that constitute the study of French culture as a transnational, transcultural and translingual phenomenon. Written by leading scholars within the field, chapters demonstrate the type of inquiry that can be pursued into the transnational realities – both material and non-material – that are integral to what is referred to as French culture. The book considers the transnational dimensions of being human in the world by focussing on four key practices which constitute the object of study for students of French: language and multilingualism; the construction of transcultural places and the corresponding sense of space; the experience of time; and transnational subjectivities. The underlying premise of the volume is that the transnational is present (and has long been present) throughout what we define as French history and culture. Chapters address instances and phenomena associated with the transnational, from prehistory to the present, opening up the geopolitical map of French studies beyond France and including sites where communities identified as French have formed.
