The Institute for Transtextual and Transcultural Studies (French name the 'Institut d'Etudes Transtextuelles and Transculturelles – IETT) is a research institute based in Lyon, France. It focusses on transnational and transdisciplinary approaches to questions of textual and cultural representations of "nations", minorities, globalization, and diasporic communities.
