Summary:

This volume establishes key concepts for a trans/national expansion in the study of culture. Using translation as an analytical category, it explores what is translatable between nation-specific approaches such as British/American Cultural Studies, German Kulturwissenschaften and other traditions in Studying culture. Theoretical reflections and case studies contribute to a new trans/national view of the study of culture within an entangled world society. Book jacket.
