Examining a range of contemporary Anglophone texts, this book opens
up postcolonial and transcultural studies for discussions of
visuality and vision. It argues that the preoccupation with visual
practices in Anglophone literatures addresses the power of images,
vision and visual aesthetics to regulate cultural visibility and
modes of identification in an unevenly structured world. The
representation of visual practices in the imaginative realm of
fiction opens up a zone in which established orders of the sayable
and visible may be revised and transformed. In 12 chapters, the
book examines narrative fiction by writers such as Michael
Ondaatje, Derek Walcott, Salman Rushdie, David Dabydeen and
NoViolet Bulawayo, who employ word-image relations to explore the
historically fraught links between visual practices and the
experience of modernity in a transcultural context. Against this
conceptual background, the examination of verbal-visual relations
will illustrate how Anglophone fiction models alternative modes of
re-presentation that reflect critically on hegemonic visual regimes
and reach out for new, more pluralized forms of exchange.
