“…A particular target was the assumption of a single homogeneous past, rather than an acknowledgement of the possibility of multiple, conflicting accounts (Chakrabarty, 1992(Chakrabarty, , 2008. The hegemony of linear narratives was identified as an important element in the exclusion of indigenous peoples from many modern states (Bauerkemper, 2007;Donaldson, 1996), while the technique of periodisation also received strong critiques within feminist work (e.g. Felski, 2000).…”

“…Within the study, politics was a particularly strong cross-disciplinary theme (112 items), with work on time and nationalism being extremely well represented (with over 80 references addressing this theme, e.g. Anderson, 1991; Bauerkemper, 2007; Edensor, 2006; Hesford and Diedrich, 2008). However, other approaches to political community were startlingly under-represented.…”

This paper reports on the results of a commissioned scoping study that explored the extent of research available on time and community. Using a range of techniques designed to provide a rapid overview of this relatively indistinct research area, 885 studies were identified for inclusion in the study. Importantly, only 85 of these were identified as 'highly relevant' to the study's focus. An analysis of these articles revealed 11 core themes in work on time and community. Two cross-cutting themes that arose from the full range of included studies were then selected for further analysis. These were the role of time in inclusion and exclusion and 'critical temporalities', that is, work that develops critical temporal responses as part of addressing social inequalities. This broader analysis suggested three overarching concerns shared by both cross-cutting themes: past, present and future; continuity and discontinuity; and multiple rhythms of time use. After exploring how these concerns are addressed in the literature, the paper concludes with an outline of the gaps in research on time and community, as well as recommendations for further research.

Comparative American Studies An International Journal

In introducing this special issue of Comparative American Studies, this essay traces a history of attempts to define and practice a transnational American studies, and suggests that such efforts face inherent and perhaps intractable difficulties. It then explains this issue's rationale for approaching the culture, literature, and history of California through a transnational lens, proposing why we might productively, indeed necessarily, think of this subnational entity as a transnational one. It does so by discussing and responding to the different ways in which a transnational conception of California is constructed and mobilised in each of this issue's constituent articles.

Turning to Indigenous genre theory, this article interprets Blake M. Hausman's Riding the Trail of Tears (2011) as a work of both Indigenous science fiction and Cherokee historical fiction. By defying the temporal constraints of science fiction and historical fiction, as conventionally defined, the novel imagines Cherokee people effectively resisting Removal via digital, Cherokee-made technology and reclaiming Cherokee historical lands. To understand how historical and tribal specificity combine in the novel's imagination of these possibilities, the authors apply Cherokee literary history and definitions of Cherokee Beloved Path and Chickamauga consciousness to explain how the novel's science fictional framework and historical narrative enable characters to resist settler-colonial technologies of dominance and survive the novel's seemingly infinite loop of Removal. To describe how the novel uses Native-made technologies to connect elements of Cherokee historical fiction to elements of Indigenous science fiction, we combine Allison Adelle Hedge Coke's use of the term throughways with Grace L. Dillon's definition of the genre Native slipstream. The article concludes that discussions of genre, and specifically historical fiction, should pay careful attention to the way that multiple cultural contexts inform definitions of history, time, and space.
