TRAVELLING CONCEPTS FOR THE STUDY OF CULTURE GE...

Bringing together innovative and internationally renowned experts  this volume provides concise
presentations of the main concepts and cutting-edge research fields in the study of culture
(rather than the infinite multitude of possible themes). More specifically  the volume outlines
different models for the study of culture  explores avenues for interdisciplinary exchange 
assesses key concepts and traces their travels across various disciplinary  historical and
national contexts. To trace the travelling of concepts means to map both their transfer from
one discipline  approach or culture of research to another  and also to identify the
transformations which emerge through these processes of transfer. The volume serves to show
that working with (travelling) concepts provides a unique strategy for research and research
design which can open up a wide range of promising perspectives for interdisciplinary exchange.
It offers an exemplary overview of an interdisciplinary and international approach to the
travelling concepts that organize  structure and shape the study of culture. In doing so  the
volume serves to initiate a dialogue that exceeds disciplinary and national boundaries and
introduces a self-reflexive dimension to the field  thus affording a recognition of how deeply
disciplinary premises and nation-specific research traditions affect different approaches in
the study of culture.
