This project explores the conceptual foundations of transatlantic cultures in the long nineteenth century by examining how literature shaped emerging modern understandings of gender, genre, class, race, space (sea, ocean, continent, frontier, borderland), territoriality, mobility, political transformation (revolution, reform, war), and visuality, focalisation and panopticism. Building on interdisciplinary approaches from American and English studies, the project develops a digital, open-access glossary that maps key concepts across four thematic research years. Through close reading, distant reading, and digital visualization, the project identifies how transatlantic literary forms responded to industrialisation, revolution, imperial expansion, and shifting regimes of knowledge. The resulting glossary serves both as a research tool and as a pedagogical resource, strengthening open science practices and enhancing the visibility of humanities research.
