In a broad outlook on the concept of transculturality, 19 authors and specialists, of diverse origins, consider how transculturality can help us understand the world. The contributions deal with literary texts, movies, drama, and visual art. The chapters cover themes such as multiculturalism, stereotypes, movement, or bilingual writing.
This volume takes a broad outlook on the concept of transculturality. Contributions from 19 authors and specialists, of almost as many diverse origins, grapple with this concept, each in their own way. How can transculturality be described? How can it help us understand our world? Many of the chapters deal with literary texts, others with the stories told in movies, drama, and visual art. There are texts about the complexity of the European Burqa-Ban debate, the negative aspects of Portuguese multiculturalism, or the border-crossing experiences of Filipino immigrants in Ireland. Several chapters examine stereotypes, the idea of movement, the dissolution of cultural borders, or the nature of bilingual writing. It is a unique contribution to the field, on a virtually global scale.
