Architecture, Technology, Culture emphasizes the theory, history, and politics of cultural and spatial transformations in relationship to technology, from the 19th century to contemporary digital cultures. Affirming the spatial turn in American Studies, the series welcomes manuscripts on space and on the transnational dimensions of cultural change, including global technologies and resistance to “Americanization.”
