Travelling Concepts in the Humanities Bal Mieke
Attempting to bridge the gap between specialised scholarship in the humanistic disciplines and an interdisciplinary project of cultural analysis, Mieke Bal has written an intellectual travel guide that charts the course 'beyond' cultural studies. Concepts are not grids to put over an object. As with any guide, it can be used in a number of ways and the reader can follow or willfully ignore any of the paths it maps or signposts.Bal's focus for this book is the idea that interdisciplinarity in the humanities - necessary, exciting, serious - must seek its heuristic and methodological basis in concepts rather than its methods.
No concept is meaningful for cultural analysis unless it helps us to understand the object better on its own terms.Bal offers the The counterpart of any given concept is the cultural text or work or 'thing' that constitutes the object of analysis.
