Stockhammer, Philipp Wolfgang.
Conceptualizing Cultural Hybridization A Transdisciplinary Approach / [electronic resource] : edited by Philipp Wolfgang Stockhammer. - IX, 214p. 28 illus., 10 illus. in color. online resource. - Transcultural Research – Heidelberg Studies on Asia and Europe in a Global Context, 2191-656X .
Questioning Hybridity -- Cultural Hybridity -- Circulating Objects and the Power of Hybridization as a Localizing Strategy -- The Agony of the Signified.
Within the context of globalization, cultural transformations are increasingly analyzed as hybridization processes. Hybridity itself, however, is often treated as a specifically post-colonial phenomenon. The contributors in this volume assume the historicity of transcultural flows and entanglements; they consider the resulting transformative powers to be a basic feature of cultural change. By juxtaposing different notions of hybridization and specific methodologies, as they appear in the various disciplines, this volume’s design is transdisciplinary. Each author presents a disciplinary concept of hybridization and shows how it operates in specific case studies. The aim is to generate a transdisciplinary perception of hybridity that paves the way for a wider application of this crucial concept
