Our academics recognize that culture has become an important field of interdisciplinary research that is developing in a variety of different directions. In many humanities disciplines, and later social science disciplines, contact with cultural studies has led to a ‘cultural turn’. Culture is no longer viewed as a variable dependent on the prevailing social structure. We share the UNESCO view on culture as a key factor in social, political and economic processes. The global production, circulation and reception of ideas and values  have led to a ‘cultural revolution’.
