Cultural Mobility, first published in 2009, is a blueprint and a
model for understanding the patterns of meaning that human
societies create. Drawn from a wide range of disciplines, the
essays collected here under the distinguished editorial guidance of
Stephen Greenblatt share the conviction that cultures, even
traditional cultures, are rarely stable or fixed. Radical mobility
is not a phenomenon of the twenty-first century alone, but is a key
constituent element of human life in virtually all periods. Yet
academic accounts of culture tend to operate on exactly the
opposite assumption and to celebrate what they imagine to be rooted
or whole or undamaged. To grasp the shaping power of colonization,
exile, emigration, wandering, contamination, and unexpected, random
events, along with the fierce compulsions of greed, longing, and
restlessness, cultural analysis needs to operate with a new set of
principles. An international group of authors spells out these
principles and puts them into practice.
