Interkulturelle Theologie und Kulturwissenschaft

Current global changes and a profound awareness of the problem regarding the thematic field of intercultural theology require new approaches. This book combines fundamental insights of the new research paradigm in the horizon of African Theology. In consequent cultural studies orientation of Intercultural Theology, central concepts of current cultural studies debates 'time', 'space', 'body' and 'agency' are taken up and their reflections in the discourse field of African theology are examined. African theology emerges as a product of relationship history with a persisting, varied dynamic and contested cultural power of interpretation. This book makes an important contribution to the current debate about the reorganization of theological discipline 'intercultural theology'.
