Narratives of Difference in Globalized Cultures : Reading Transnational Cultural Commodities Paperback / softback
Edited by Belen Martin-Lucas, Andrea Ruthven
Part of the New Comparisons in World Literature series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book is about how the marketing of transnational cultural commodities capitalizes on difference and its appeal for cosmopolitan consumers in our postmodern globalized world.
At what price? What ethical and political conundrums does the artist/writer/reader confront when going global?
This volume analyzes why difference - whether gender, sexual, racial, ethnic, or linguistic - has become such a prominent element in the contemporary cultural field, and the effects of this prevalence on the production, circulation and reception of cultural commodities in the context of globalization.
At the intersection of globalization, diaspora, postcolonial and feminist studies in world literature, these essays engage critically with a wide variety of representative narratives taken from diverse cultural fields, including humanitarian fiction, multilingual poetry, painting, text-image art, performance art, film, documentary, and docu-poetry.
The chapters included offer counter-readings that disrupt hegemonic representations of cultural identity within the contemporary, neoliberal and globalized landscape.
