Cultural Writing. SHIFTING BORDERS, NEGOTIATING PLACES is a compilation of papers presented at the international conference on cultural studies held at the University of Rome La Sapienza in 2000 and indicate some of the many directions scholars working in cultural studies have taken. Presented in both English and Italian (without translation), these papers present investigations sparked by European political and economic unification, globalization, and the place of cultural studies in apprehending and theorizing transnational change. Cultural studies may have taken hold in Italy later than it did in Great Britian and North America, but Italian academia now includes both many enthusiastic practitioners and a committed audience, as the diverse proceedings of this intellectually satisfying conference indicate.
