Four faculties contributed to Kultrans: Social Sciences, Education, Law, and Humanities (host faculty).
The core idea of Kultrans
A long-standing tendency in cultural and social research has been to view culture as a system for producing identity and difference. In recent times, however, there has been a shift: increasingly, culture is seen as a site of change, of diverse and complex processes of transformation that unfold in different domains, in various locations and often at different speeds.
Characteristic of such processes is that they transcend the boundaries of what is familiar and shared disciplinary boundaries, national borders, or historical period divisions. In response to this challenge, Kultrans carried out research that was transdisciplinary, transnational and transhistorical.
