When objects – mostly goods in an economic sense – travel across national and cultural borders, they become part of new frames in ways that will affect enterprises, people, politics, tradition, media, and the arts. Such globalisation processes on the level of material culture can only be described in transdisciplinary ways. At the conference, the economics and semiotics of material culture transfers will be discussed with a focus on their representation in the media and their reflection in the arts. Within the longstanding debate about globalization, the prime role of the humanities consists in developing analytical categories for the description and interpretation of cultural transfers.
