Or is this project of "engaged scholarship" too deeply rooted in the parochial terrain of the national? This collection of essays - the first volume in the new JMU Cultural Studies publication series - attends to this vital yet difficult question. Based on joint seminars bringing together emerging scholars from Germany and India, the contributions confront "classic texts" from US-American, British, and Indian cultural studies with the specific concerns and contemporary perspectives of the authors. The collection thus tests the potentials of the tradition to speak to the transnational as well as the national environments of the very present. Emphasis is placed on Marxist and feminist legacies, which are then projected into the domains of contemporary disability, food, and film studies.}, subject = {Globalisierung}, language = {en} } @book{AckermannKarremannMalhotraetal.2021, author = {Ackermann, Zeno and Karremann, Isabel and Malhotra, Simi and Zaidi, Nishat}, title = {Terrains of Consciousness: Multilogical Perspectives on Globalization}, edition = {1.

The book makes a case for a phenomenology of globalization that pays attention to locally situated socioeconomic terrains, everyday practices, and cultures of knowledge. This is exemplified in relation to three topics: - the tension between 'terrain' and 'territory' in Defoe's 'Robinson Crusoe' as a pioneering work of the globalist mentality (chapter 1) - the relationship between established conceptions of feminism and the concrete struggles of women in India since the 19th century (chapter 2) - the exploration of urban space and urban life in writings on India's capital - from Ahmed Ali to Arundhati Roy (chapter 3).}, subject = {Globalisierung}, language = {en} }
