Examples are given of some of the ways in which this slippage is now being addressed and may be taken forward, taking up such themes as the manner in which anti-globalization protests and world cities have figured in literary works; the ways in which theories of postmodernism and postcolonialism, familiar in literary studies, have diverged from and converged with globalization studies; and how industries to do with the circulation of literature are becoming globalized.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is intended for university-level students and teachers, researchers, and other informed readers with an interest in the above issues, and serves as both a survey of the field and an intervention within it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 The Nuances of Globalization 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNarrative Performance 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTravels of a Term 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlan of this Study 10\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 Movements and Protests 13\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlucking a Theme 13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnti-Globalization Protests 14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePeace Movements 23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eV-Day 31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Global Cities and Cosmopolis 37\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlobal Teens 37\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlobal Cities 38\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlobal City Transactions 43\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCosmopolitan Order and Cosmopolis 48\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVirtual Cosmopolis 53\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e4 Literary Studies and Globalization 62\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLiterary Entanglements 62\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTurning to Literary Studies 65\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlobalization Thematized 66\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLiterary Text 71\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCulture and Identity 85\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e5 Postmodernism and Postcolonialism 97\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePostmodernism 97\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePostcolonialism 107\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e6 Academic Institutional Spaces 123\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEnglish Studies 123\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eComparative Literature\/World Literature 136\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA Note on Translation 146\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e7 The Globalization of Literature 151\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDying Authors 151\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLiterary Industries 159\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 171\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 185\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Literature: history \u0026amp; criticism [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literature: history \u0026amp; criticism\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literature:%20history%20\u0026amp;%20criticism%20%5BDS%5D%22\"\u003eDS\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407305371928,"sku":"9780745640235","price":45.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745640235.jpg?v=1784160496","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/globalization-and-literature-hardback-9780745640235","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
