This collection constitutes a salutory demonstration that Britain
no longer serves as the centre for cultural studies. Engaging the
critical discourses of feminism, postmodernism and postcolonialism,
the contributions explore the renegotiations and changes in
cultural studies in the wake of its export from Britain. In
particular, the volume shows how to understand the experiences of
marginalized groups, including women and aboriginal peoples in
postcolonial states. Questions about the ongoing globalization of
capital and culture are linked to constructions of national, local
and individual identities. The alternative relocations of cultural
studies offered here manifest two not incommensurate trends: Some
contributors consider how textual processes of representation
articulate with exclusionary practices. Others keep alive a sense
of politics in respect of institutional and policy debates. The
result is an invigorated cultural studies which moves between
theory and practice, gives primacy to tensions between extra-local
centres of political and economic power, and considers lived
experiences within their specific geo-cultural contexts.
