Contemporary cultural studies represent a distinct landscape of theory and research. Their dynamism primarily arises from the tension of shifting cultural turns across disciplines: interpretive turn, performative turn, reflexive turn/literary turn, postcolonial turn, translational turn, spatial turn, iconic turn. This volume presents these turns in terms of their systematic questions, shifts in understanding, and interrelationships, demonstrating their application in specific research fields. Thus, it provides a mapping of recent cultural studies while offering a comprehensive overview of their developments and orientations, accompanied by a wealth of processed international research literature.
