KEYWORDS Online• Collaborative in design and execution
– Network of 64 scholars
– Dialogue across analytical frameworks
• Keywords in American Studies and cultural studies: as the vocabulary changes, so should the means through which we track their usage and the knowledge projects they enable.
• “Keywords” themselves are reflective of new media and digital environments: metadata, search terms, and tags.
Translation into a new medium of the blank pages at the back of Raymond Williams’s Keywords
