The Soul of Asia

Culture, Identity, and Beyond

250 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This volume platforms scholars working in cultural studies in Asia and responds to the recentering of cultural studies along the diaspora axis. Drawing together numerous authors, The Soul of Asia participates in cultural politics at a local level, but with an international agenda. As a collective, the authors aim to construct a "critical inter-Asian subjectivity," drawing on local critical intellectual traditions while forging global links with other cultural studies networks. In this way, the collection problematizes "Asia" as a concept in the context of the continent's postwar economic and cultural resurgence layered over its troubled history between colonized and colonizer.
