Book Synopsis Reimagining the American Pacific by : Rob Wilson
Download or read book Reimagining the American Pacific written by Rob Wilson and published by New Americanists. This book was released on 2000 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this compelling critique Rob Wilson explores the creation of the "Pacific Rim" in the American imagination and how the concept has been variously adapted and resisted in Hawai'i, the Pacific Islands, New Zealand, and Australia. Reimagining the American Pacific ranges from the nineteenth century to the present and draws on theories of postmodernism, transnationality, and post-Marxist geography to contribute to the ongoing discussion of what constitutes "global" and "local." Wilson begins by tracing the arrival of American commerce and culture in the Pacific through missionary and imperial forces in the nineteenth century and the parallel development of Asia/Pacific as an idea. Using an impressive range of texts--from works by Herman Melville, James Michener, Maori and Western Samoan novelists, and Bamboo Ridge poets to Baywatch, films and musicals such as South Pacific and Blue Hawaii, and native Hawaiian shark god poetry--Wilson illustrates what it means for a space to be "regionalized." Claiming that such places become more open to transnational flows of information, labor, finance, media, and global commodities, he explains how they then become isolated, their borders simultaneously crossed and fixed. In the case of Hawai'i, Wilson argues that culturally innovative, risky forms of symbol making and a broader--more global--vision of local plight are needed to counterbalance the racism and increasing imbalance of cultural capital and goods in the emerging postplantation and tourist-centered economy. Reimagining the American Pacific leaves the reader with a new understanding of the complex interactions of global and local economies and cultures in a region that, since the 1970s, has been a leading trading partner of the United States. It is an engaging and provocative contribution to the fields of Asian and American studies, as well as those of cultural studies and theory, literary criticism, and popular culture.

Download or read book Atopian Limits written by Salah El Moncef and published by Peter Lang Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive study of postmodern subjectivity explores some of the most significant challenges confronting the individual in the third millennium - from the role of ethnic difference and immigration in the public sphere, to questions of sexual politics in the work- and market-place, to the effects of technological interference with human and animal bodies, to the increasing unpredictability of global economics. What emerges from the analysis of these issues is a work of unique foresight, clarity, and scholarly integrity - a relentlessly meticulous scrutiny of our complex and uncertain world. In its treatment of the most pressing questions of our times, Atopian Limits is a gripping attempt to anticipate and understand the different forces of evolution looming on the horizon of our socioeconomic destiny, the future waves of change coming upon us fraught with their catastrophic as well as their emancipatory possibilities. « Through the analysis of a series of American fictions which burst the reassuring limits of modern rationality to open upon the paroxystic, the catastrophic, the chaotic, Moncef gives an original, cutting-edge approach of postmodern imagination.... It is an extremely sharp and enlightening interdisciplinary approach of some fractured and destabilizing narratives that situate themselves at the edge of the abyss of madness, cruelty and death. A highly important contribution to the exegesis of most troubled fantasies of the postmodern condition. (Jean-Joseph Goux) « Very interesting. (Julia Kristeva) « A remarkable piece of historiography. (Paul Maltby) « Few critics have managed to read Auster's metafiction in the same context as Updike'ssuburban realism, and fewer still would have thought to look for Acker's nomadic subjects in Vidal's 'Duluth'. If Kesey's 'Combine' runs on bio-power and Harris's 'Silence of the Lambs' exposes a society that is no less species-centered than it is sexist, then perhaps the time has come to re-read fictions we thought we knew well. Salah el Moncef's systems-based approach has the potential to dislodge American literature from provincial moorings toward a more global context, whether or not American authors want to go there. This un-placed, atopian literature emerges as both a cognitive resource and a counternarrative, an imaginary alternative to the narrative of the industrial system with its national boundaries, representational structures, and linear spaces of « straight reproduction. Postmodern theory may have reached its atopian limits, but in Moncef's hands theory can still open out into the wider field of contemporary fiction rather than closing in on a few canonical works. (Joe Tabbi) « This is the best study of subjectivity, postmodernity and American fiction I have read. My understanding of all three has been enriched by Moncef's very sophisticated work.
