This work is a collection of papers in comparative cultural studies, rather than the single-culture approach, applied in the study of Central European culture. It proposes that a Central European culture, as controversial and debated as the notion may be, exists. It provides an insightful look into a new field of study where a notion of comparative is merged with the field of cultural studies from the basic premises of the discipline of comparative literature.
Steven Toetoesy de Zepetnek's areas of scholarship include comparative literature and cultural studies; comparative media and communication studies; postcolonial studies; migration and ethnic minority studies; film and literature studies; audience studies; and European, US-American and Canadian cultures, among others.
