This seminar explores the 2022 U.S. congressional elections, the
so-called “Midterms,” as a socioeconomic, cultural, and political
process from a wide range of transdisciplinary American Studies
perspectives. Our point of departure will be that the election year is a
complex nexus that intertwines various internal power struggles within
the United States, exposing linkages between policy issues, public
discourses, and media representations. In particular, we will consider
various hot-button issues during the peak of the electoral race.
