Critical Transitions identifies and interrogates the terms and concepts most central to the urgent task of examining cultural change as a process of dynamic transition. The volume approaches the question of transition from multiple perspectives, demonstrating how the highly politicized spheres of cultural production, scientific invention and intellectual discourse are entangled in the contemporary world. It recognizes that the practical and theoretical dimensions of cultural change are inextricable from one another, and that the concepts which are best able to convey this interconnection necessarily exceed any single discipline, and set of objects or practices.
The volume gathers specially commissioned essays by leading and emerging thinkers in the arts, humanities and social sciences, and spanning fields which include geography, law, literary studies, cultural theory, philosophy, and politics. These are organized into five sections or clusters of concepts (boundaries, organization, rupture, novelty, futurity), which are progressively arranged so that each section raises questions which are addressed subsequently, and framed by interviews with leading cultural critics and commentary by the editors.
