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.
