Understanding Transnational Subjectivity – Sucheth P R

Description

Understanding Transnational Subjectivity provides an informed understanding of the key dimensions of transnational subjectivity, one of the dominant cultural actualities of the age of globalization. The surge in the number of people with hybrid identity, the increasing segment of population living in in-between cultures, promotion of ideals of multiculturalism, the strong inclination to strengthen the shades of the colours of each culture and the moves to seek ethnic roots problematise the subjectivity of many living in the postmodern age of late capitalism. Any study on contemporary society and culture would be incomplete without tracing the dimensions of this terrain of subjectivity as it would help map the emerging sensibilities of considerable sections of people in the transitional era of globalization. The work has been created with a wide range of perspectives and critical insights into key themes and debates revolving around this liminal phase of culture along with an attempt to read the literary manifestations of the phenomenon. This lucid and concise work offering a crucial overview of a pertinent key critical concept of our age would meet the needs of researchers across social sciences, humanities, literary and cultural studies.
