ABSTRACT The following special issue offers the first attempt to look at the history and culture of the Baltic region using the concept of entangled histories and cultures. The study of entanglements is part of the transnational turn in the humanities and social sciences and has been greatly influenced by postcolonial studies, but it has its own set of topics, problems and questions that it aims to study. Rather than a methodology, the entangled approach is a perspective that looks at its research objects from a new angle and from multiple new levels of analysis. Nonetheless, it has found considerable methodological reflection in different disciplines such as history writing, literary and cultural studies, and memory studies. This introduction goes briefly over some of the disciplinary contexts where the study of entanglements has emerged and their methodological discussions. It also offers some reflections on the nodes of problems related to the interconnectedness of different cultures in the Baltic region that might be successfully approached with the concept of entangled cultures.

简介：波罗的海地区纠缠不清的文化

摘要 以下特刊首次尝试使用纠缠的历史和文化的概念来审视波罗的海地区的历史和文化。纠缠研究是人文社会科学跨国转向的一部分，受到后殖民研究的极大影响，但它有自己的一套主题、问题和问题来研究。纠缠方法不是一种方法论，而是一种从新的角度和多个新的分析层次看待其研究对象的视角。尽管如此，它已经在不同学科，如历史写作、文学和文化研究以及记忆研究中找到了相当多的方法论反思。本介绍简要介绍了纠缠研究出现的一些学科背景及其方法论讨论。它还对与波罗的海地区不同文化的相互联系相关的问题节点进行了一些思考，这些问题可以用纠缠文化的概念成功解决。
