How can we approach possible but unknown futures of the study of 
culture?This volume explores this question in the context of a changing 
global world.The contributions in this volume discuss the necessity of 
significant shifts in our conceptual and epistemological frameworks. 
Taking into account changing institutional research settings, the 
authors develop pathways to future cultural research, addressing the 
crucial concerns of the cultural and social worlds themselves. The 
contributions thereby utilize contact zones within a wide range of 
disciplines such as cultural anthropology, sociology, cultural history, 
literary studies, the history of science and bioethics as well as the 
environmental and medical humanities. Examining emerging inter- and 
transdisciplinary points of reference, the volume invites scholars in 
the humanities and social sciences to take part in a conversation about 
theories, methods, and practices for the future study of culture.
