Abstract:
This book provides a comprehensive overview of cultural turns - groundbreaking theoretical reorientations in the study of culture, the humanities and the social sciences. It features chapters on the interpretive, performative, reflexive, postcolonial, translational, spatial and iconic turns while introducing emerging developments. This translation of a revised German classic is the first synthesis of cultural turns in the English-speaking world. Doris Bachmann-Medick, International Graduate Centre for the Study of Culture (GCSC) / University of Giessen, Germany.
