内容説明

"Border Matters" locates the study of Chicano culture in a broad social context. The author examines issues of representation and expression in a diverse assortment of texts - "corridas", novels, poems, short stories, punk and hip-hop music, ethnography, paintings, performance, art and essays. Saldivar provides a sophisticated model for a new kind of US cultural studies, one that seeks to challenge the homogeneity of US nationalism and popular culture by foregrounding the contemporary experiences and historical circumstances facing Chicanos and Chicanas. This study applies borderlands and diaspora theory to Chicano cultural practices in a way that seeks to change understanding of both the Chicano experience and the meaning of cultural theory. The author argues that the culture of the borderlands is transitional, constituting a social space in which new relations, hybrid cultures, and multi-voiced aesthetics are negotioted. The author's critical readings treat culture a social force and reveal the presence of social contexts within cultural texts.

内容説明

Border Matters locates the study of Chicano culture in a broad social context. Jose Saldivar examines issues of representation and expression in a diverse, exciting assortment of texts--corridos, novels, poems, short stories, punk and hip-hop music, ethnography, paintings, performance, art, and essays. Saldivar provides a sophisticated model for a new kind of U.S. cultural studies, one that challenges the homogeneity of U.S. nationalism and popular culture by foregrounding the contemporary experiences and historical circumstances facing Chicanos and Chicanas. This intellectually adventurous, politically engaged study applies borderlands and diaspora theory to Chicano cultural practices in a way that permanently changes our understanding of both the Chicano experience and the meaning of cultural theory. Defying national (and nationalistic) paradigms of culture, Saldivar argues that the culture of the borderlands is trans-national, constituting a social space in which new relations, hybrid cultures, and multi-voiced aesthetics are negotiated. Saldivar's critical readings treat culture as a social force and reveal the presence of social contexts within cultural texts. Border Matters maps out a new terrain for the study of culture, reshaping the way we understand migration, national identity, and intellectual inquiry itself.
