The Anthem Series on Thresholds and Transformations approaches various thresholds and their transformative potential from different perspectives. While the subject area involves multiple areas of knowledge, the series focuses on social sciences, the humanities, arts and design. This series engages thresholds and transformations through interdisciplinary and cross-methodological means, welcoming theoretical, conceptual, artistic, spiritual, empirical and peripheral contributions that rethink traditional disciplinary understanding and search for insights across disciplinary boundaries.
