| Abstract | "This volume explores the dynamics of transculturality through sixteen chapters organized in five sections: literature, translation and linguistics, cinema, communication, and politics. The contributors' diverse background in the Humanities allows for a wide enquiry into the far-reaching capabilities of transculturality both as an intellectual working tool and as an identity in motion"-- Provided by publisher. |
