Intercontinental Cross–Currents Network

Intercontinental Cross-Currents provides a cooperative network for researchers from all scholarly disciplines interested in the literal and metaphorical networks created and navigated by women from the European and American continents during the long nineteenth century (1776-1939).

The network is broadly inspired by transatlantic research within literary, cultural, and historiographical studies. We follow Transatlanticism’s central conviction that the metaphorically rich arena of the Atlantic Ocean, carrying ideas of change, of cultural and literary conversation and transgression, offers ways to conceptualize a field of study that enables scholars to move beyond the discussion of individual national cultures and literatures by emphasizing the space that has essentially connected individuals, philosophical ideas, and practices from the sixteenth century onwards.
