Towards transnational approaches to the study of culture : from cultural studies and kulturwissenschaften to a transnational study of culture -- Conceptualizations and histories / Dipesh Chakrabarty -- Knowledge systems and discursive fields / Boris Buden -- Notes on contributors -- Index.

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 French Sciences Humaines. Theoretical reflections and case studies contribute to a new trans/national view of the study of culture within an entangled world society.
