Hybrids of Modernity considers the relationship between three
western modernist institutions: anthropology, the nation state and
the universal exhibition. It looks at the ways in which these
institutions are linked, in how they are engaged in the
objectification of culture, and in how they have themselves become
objects of cultural theory, the targets of critics who claim that
despite their continuing visibility these are all institutions with
questionable viability in the late 20th century. Through analysis
of the Universal Exhibition held in seville in 1992, the themes of
culture, nationality and technology are explored. Particular
attention is paid to how "culture" is produced and put to work by
the national and corporate participants, and to the relationship
between the emergence of culture as commodity and the way in which
the concept is employed in contemporary cultural theory.
