Guest Editor’s Introduction: Innovative Trends in Cultural Studies

Abstract

: This article introduces the special issue (SI) on innovative trends in cultural studies. This SI showcases examples of path-breaking works among contemporary cultural scholars. The first two articles are interesting in their use of innovative and social anthropology-based cultural theories, and the third article is pioneering by drawing attention to critical cross-cultural management and often-neglected topics in extant literature. The fourth article’s originality comes from exposing advances in the field of Cross-Cultural Psychology in conceptualizing culture differently, and the fifth article remarkably offers illustrations of multiparadigmatic and nonlinear asymmetrical cultural studies. This article ends by offering future avenues for innovative cultural studies.
