I'm building a collection of books in a new genre of history sometimes referred to as Transference Studies, Reception History, or the History of Consequences. So far I have Ratner-Rosenhagen's "American Nietzsche" (Thank you babe!), George Cotkin's "Existential America", Martin Woessner's, "Heidegger in America", and Francois Cusset's "French Theory: How Foucault, Derrida, Deleuze, & CO. Transformed the Intellectual Life of the United States."
Future titles I'm hoping to acquire include:
Lawrence A. Scaff, "Max Weber in America"
James Ceasar, "Reconstructing America: The Symbol of America in Modern Thought"
Richard Wrightman Fox, "Jesus in America: Personal Savior, Cultural Hero, National Obsession"
David Armitage, "The Declaration of Independence: A Global History"
Steven Biel, "American Gothic: A Life of America’s Most Famous Painting"
Carl Degler, "In Search of Human Nature"
Robert Darnton, "Readers Respond to Rousseau"
Sudarshan Kapur, "Rasin Up a Prophet: The African-American Encounter with Gandhi"
Cynthia Eagle Rusett, "Darwin in America: The Intellectual Response"
Hofstadter, "Social Darwinism in American Thought"
Henry Jenkins, "Textual Poachers: Television Fans and Participatory Culture"
J. Rodden, "The Politics of Literary Reputation: The Making and Claiming of 'St. George' Orwell"
Goetzmann, "The American Hegelians"
