Anotace knihy

Edited by one of the most prominent scholars in the field and including a distinguished cast of contributors, this collection of essays makes a striking intervention in the increasingly heated debates surrounding the cultural dimensions of globalisation. While including discussions about what globalisation is and whether it is a meaningful term, the volume focuses in particular on the way that changing sites-local, regional, diasporic-are the scenes of emergent forms of sovereignty in which matters of style, sensibility, and ethos articulate new legalities and new kinds of violence. Seeking an alternative to the dead-end debate between those who see globalisation as a phenomenon wholly without precedent and those who see it simply as modernisation, imperialism, or global capitalism with a new face, the contributors seek to illuminate how space and time are transforming each other in special ways in the present era. They examine how this complex transformation involves changes in the situation of the nation, the state, and the city. While exploring distinct regions-China, Africa, South America, Europe-and representing different disciplines and genres-anthropology, literature, political science, sociology, music, cinema, photography-the contributors are concerned with both the political economy of location and the locations in which political economies are produced and transformed. A special strength of the collection is its concern with emergent styles of subjectivity, citizenship, and mobilisation and with the transformations of state power through which market rationalities are distributed and embodied locally. Contributors. Arjun Appadurai, Jerome Binde, Nestor Garcia Canclini, Leo Ching, Steven Feld, Ralf D. Hotchkiss, Wu Hung, Andreas Huyssen, Boubacar Toure Mandemory, Achille Mbembe, Saskia Sassen, Fatu Kande Senghor, Seteney Shami, Anna Tsing, Zhang Zhen
