| Description: |
A collection of interviews with some of North America's foremost cultural critics & theorists, including Frederic Jameson, J Hillis Miller, Hayden White. It covers topics such as culture, ideology, history, modernity, post-modernity, post-colonialism, globalisation, the role of the university & the role of the intellectual in today's society. |
| Synopsis: |
How should the project of cultural studies change for the twenty-first century? Does theory have general application? How should we evaluate revolutions? How should we define countries, like China, on the margins of modernity and post-modernity? Is a neo-Orientalism emerging in today's world? These are questions Shaobo Xie and Wang Fengzhen ask a panel of North America's leading cultural critics. What emerges is a remarkable collection of interviews and dialogues that discuss culture, ideology, history, Marxism, modernity, post-modernity, post-colonialism, globalization, and the role of the university and the intellectual in today's society. With Contributions by: Arif Dirlik Teresa Ebert Barbara Foley Fredric Jameson Pamela McCallum J.
