It features chapters on the interpretive, performative, relexive, postcolonial, translational, spatial and iconic turns while introducing emerging developments. This translation of a revised German classic is the irst synthesis of cultural turns in the English-speaking world. 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-speciic approaches such as British /American “Cultural Studies”, German “Kulturwissenschaften” and French “Sciences Humaines”. Theoretical relections and case studies contribute to a new trans/national view of the study of culture within an entangled world society. Doris Bachmann-Medick (Ed.)
