This book explores belonging as a performative achievement. The
contributors investigate how identities are embodied and effected,
and how lines of allegiance and fracture are produced and
reproduced. Questions of 'difference' are tackled from a
perspective that attends to the complexities of history and
politics. Drawing on sociology, philosophy and anthropology, this
collection brings together leading commentators, including Judith
Butler, Paul Gilroy and Arjun Appadurai, as well as a range of new
scholars. It examines questions of visuality, political
affiliation, ethics, mimesis, spatiality, passing, and diversity in
modes of embodied difference. The volume advances conceptual and
theoretical issues through testing various propositions around
specific examples or questions. What emerges is a rich engagement
with the complexity of contemporary forms of belonging.
