| Synopsis: |
Addressing the pleasures and dangers of cultural identity in the age of mass media and global migration, these essays range from a commentary on the redrawing of the boundaries of contemporary art to a mapping of the controversial theory of hybridity.This book stages a series of dialogical encounters, the necessary precondition for ongoing negotiations of identity in the modern world.Interspersed with the essays are conversations with prominent writers and artists such as John Berger, Jimmie Durham, Gayatri Spivak and David Malouf; a multivocal assemblage which argues that the significance of cultural identity can no longer be defined according to the conventional models, but is an issue that goes beyond the oppositions of centre and periphery in metropolital spaces. |
