In the context of the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution and the America2026 program, Bertrand Van Ruymbeke demonstrates how historiography has gradually shifted its focus to include the “invisible” figures of history—Indigenous peoples, enslaved people, women, Loyalists—while opening up to transatlantic circulations. Emilia Le Seven traces her research journey through Cooper’s maritime novels, showing how oceanic studies offer a fresh perspective on American exceptionalism by challenging the continental imagination of the Frontier. Nicolas Barreyre revisits the transnational turn in American history, emphasizing the notion of researchers’ positionality—that is, the active articulation of a perspective rather than the assertion of a single national origin. Through a study of the cosmopolitan figure of Mina Loy, Yasna Bozhkova highlights the institutional difficulties still faced by researchers working on cross-disciplinary topics in a field structured by rigid distinctions between specialists of the United States and those of Great Britain.Cairn restricted access
