Transculture: Culture and Globalization

Author: (Germany) Han Bingzhe

The book "Superculture" is written by German philosopher Han Bingzhe and explores the close relationship between culture and globalization. The book points out that with the rapid development of new technologies, the process of globalization is accelerating, which has gradually shortened the distance between different cultures and produced a variety of cultural life practices and forms of expression. This "close" phenomenon of globalization not only brings convenience to cultural exchanges, but also promotes the collision and integration of different cultures. The author believes that while the process of globalization accumulates and gathers heterogeneous cultural content, it has also spawned a "superculture" phenomenon that transcends the boundaries of traditional culture. This phenomenon not only reflects the diversity of culture, but also reveals the new trend of cultural development in the era of globalization. This book is of great significance for understanding the evolution of contemporary culture and the impact of globalization on culture.
