This volume claims that interdisciplinarity and translation constitute the two main âchallengesâ for cultural studies today. These conceptual issues (âinterâ and âtransâ) express themselves within specific historical and âculturalâ contexts. Interdisciplinarity is linked with the ongoing process of the institutionalisation of cultural studies in national academies, but also increasingly internationally, comparatively and to a certain extent even globally (cf. cultural studies of âglobal cultureâ). Translation concerns cultural studies both as an object or product and as a subject or producer of translation processes. Cultural studies is the result of translation, translates and is being translated. The essays in this volume therefore relate these various ongoing cultural, linguistic and institutional translation processes to political and ethical issues of internationalisation and globalisation. The contributions draw their originality and strength from strategically crossing, disciplinary and national boundaries. They deliberately ignore the question of what may be âproperâ (to) cultural studies, and instead problematise the notions of âproprietyâ and âbelongingâ. As a âreading practiceâ cultural studies, in these pages, is performed through adaptations and combinations of theory and critical practice. The volume should be of interest to everyone concerned with cultural studiesâ role in promoting intellectual debate within an increasingly international and âglobalisedâ public sphere.
