Critical Transitions interrogates the terms and concepts most central to the urgent task of examining cultural change as a process of dynamic transition. This 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.
Organized into five clusters of concepts - change, boundaries, ruptures, assemblages, horizons - by leading and emerging thinkers in the arts, humanities and social sciences, and spanning fields including geography, literary studies, cultural theory, philosophy, and politics.
Marc Botha is Lecturer in Modern and Contemporary Literature and Theory in the Department of English Studies at Durham University, UK. He is the author of Persistence and Transfiguration: A Theory of Minimalism (Bloomsbury, 2017).
Patricia Waugh is Professor of English and Co-Director of the Institute of Hazard, Risk and Resilience at Durham University, UK.
