Cultural Inquiry

Edited by Christoph F. E. Holzhey and Manuele Gragnolati
 

The series Cultural Inquiry is dedicated to exploring how diverse cultures can be brought into fruitful rather than pernicious confrontation. Defining culture in a deliberately broad sense to include also different discourses and disciplines, it seeks to identify tensions both between and within different cultures and inquires about the possibilities of making them productive. The series aims to open up spaces of possibility and develop promising avenues of inquiry, experimentation and intervention. Its emphasis lies on critical reflection and on identifying and highlighting contemporary issues and concerns, even in publications with a historical orientation. Following a decidedly cross-disciplinary approach, it aims to enact and provoke transfers between the humanities, the natural and social sciences, and the arts. The series will include a plurality of methodologies and approaches, holding them together through the tension of mutual confrontation and negotiation rather than homogenization or exclusion.
