| - Research in transnational American studies, a field of American studies, foregrounds the complex relationships amongst nations, cultures and histories that intersect with the United States of America. A significant impulse driving the development of transnationalist American studies is the pursuit of analytical methods that are less likely to reinforce the ideology of American exceptionalism by removing the nation state as the "natural" frame for analysis. This re-examination of American studies can be seen as a critical response to the significant role the U.S. State Department historically played in promoting American studies outside of the United States. Shelley Fisher Fishkin, in her 2004 Presidential Address to the American Studies Association, argued that a transnational focus for American studies would foster studies that frame the United States as a "participant in a global flow of people, ideas, texts, and products." It has been suggested that the rise of transnational American studies is a result of international associations of American studies scholars setting the stage for transnational American studies as well as an inevitable result of the decades of scholarship done on nationalism. Bauridl and Wiegmink report that the field of transnational American studies has shifted away from the nation state as a container of an individual's identity to an understanding in which the nation state is one node in a networked phenomenon.
