The main thrust of this book is as simple as it is radical. For the interdisciplinary project to function, we have to abandon the pursuit of a shared methodology. What the various disciplines share, the author contends, are these "travelling concepts" that, when shifting from one discipline to another, enrich both their own sense as well as the disciplines between which they travel. Mieke Bal examines a number of concepts ranging from "intention" and "tradition" to "performativity" and "mise-en-scène', thus proposing a new way of understanding the interdisciplinary project and opening new avenues for cultural analysis calling for a more ¿sustained attention to the object¿.
