UNDERSTANDING CULTURAL TRAITS GEBUNDEN

This volume constitutes a first step towards an ever-deferred interdisciplinary dialogue on
cultural traits. It offers a way to enter a representative sample of the intellectual diversity
that surrounds this topic  and a means to stimulate innovative avenues of research. It
stimulates critical thinking and awareness in the disciplines that need to conceptualize and
study culture  cultural traits  and cultural diversity. Culture is often defined and studied
with an emphasis on cultural features. For UNESCO  culture should be regarded as the set of
distinctive spiritual  material  intellectual and emotional features of society or a social
group. But the very possibility of assuming the existence of cultural traits is not granted 
and any serious evaluation of the notion of cultural trait requires the interrogation of
several disciplines from cultural anthropology to linguistics  from psychology to sociology to
musicology  and all areas of knowledge on culture. This book presents a strong
multidisciplinary perspective that can help clarify the problems about cultural traits.
