| Publisher Description: A collection of interviews with some of North America's foremost cultural critics and theorists, including Frederic Jameson, J Hillis Miller, Hayden White, etc. Covers topics such as culture, ideology, history, modernity, post-modernity, post-colonialism, globalisation, the role of the university and the role of the intellectual in today's society. Some of the contributions are essays, others are responses to questions, and some take up all the subjects and some only focus on one subject. Includes a discussion about how cultural studies will help developing nations on the periphery of cultural studies, such as China, to look to the future. |
