The Centre for Transnational Cultural Analysis (CTCA) is a research hub based within the Institute for Comparative Studies in Literature, Art and Culture (ICSLAC) at Carleton University. Founded in 2005, at a time when cultural studies disciplines were almost exclusively defined by the nation as the organizing unit of analysis, CTCA seeks to create the necessary interdisciplinary connections and networks that will increase the impact of transnational research in the Humanities. Since the end of the twentieth century, globalization has been the driving force behind mediations of culture. As cultural borders have opened up, the need for new intellectual models has made global studies one of the most urgent issues of our generation. Though studies of the global have been traditionally rooted in the social sciences, CTCA’s initiatives are focused on thinking through the cultural consequences of globalization and how they have reshaped our world.
