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.
