Acerca de este producto
Product Information
A major intervention in queer, postcolonial, and cultural studies, Impossible Subjects rethinks the concept of diaspora through examinations of a range of South Asian diasporic literature, film, and music. Focusing on queer female diasporic subjectivity, Gaytri Gopinath develops a concept of diaspora apart from the logic of blood, authenticity, and patrilineal descent that she argues invariably forms the core of conventional formulations. She explains how the framework of a queer diaspora recuperates those desires, practices, and subjectivities that are rendered unimaginable within the dominant diasporic and nationalist imaginaries. A consideration of queerness becomes a way to challenge nationalist ideologies by restoring what has been rendered illegible or impossible: the impure, inauthentic, and non-reproductive. It suggests alternative ways of conceptualizing community and collectivity across disparate geographic locations, ways based in politics rather than blood or nostalgia for the homeland and times past.Gopinath juxtaposes diverse texts to indicate the range of oppositional practices, subjectivities, and visions of collectivity that fall outside mainstream narratives of colonialism, nationalism, liberal feminism, and gay and lesbian politics and theory. She considers British Asian music of the 1990s alongside alternative media and cultural practices. She examines literature including V. S. Naipaul's classic novel A House for Mr. Biswas, Ismat Chugtai's short story The Quilt, Monica Ali's Brick Lane, Shyam Selvadurai Funny Face, and Shani Mootoo's Cereus Blooms at Night. Analyzing films including Deepa Mehta's controversial Fire and Mira Nair's Monsoon Wedding, she pays particular attention to how South Asian diasporic feminist filmmakers have reworked Bollywood's strategies of queer representation. Gopinath's readings are dazzling, and her insights and theoretical framework transformative and far-reaching.

- -***o (129)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaExcellent, as always with books-etc. Exactly as described, good packaging in sturdy cardboard, which is very important to me. I don't like flimsy paper/polythene envelopes. Perfect condition book at a great price. It usually takes about a week to receive an item, but with free postage so what?! There's a reason I keep coming back to them - they are a top seller. Thank you.
- o***n (2847)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaAn excellent book at a great price. It was my first purchase from this seller and i was expecting a service similar to others on eBay. However it took a long time to be despatched and to reach me. The original order was placed on 6 June. It was not despatched until 11 June and finally it arrived 14 June. I may not use this seller in the future if i want an item in a few days but i cannot fault them on the quality of the item - as described - so ultimately i am happy and have learned a lesson,Shiva's Hologram - 9781803413341 (#355083215954)
- f***f (426)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaVery reasonable price for an impressive hardcover volume, in new condition, which is getting fairly scarce. Packaged very securely, posted quickly and arrived in perfect condition. Fast, friendly and helpful communication as well. (The first copy I ordered got 'lost' at the Global Shipping Centre - even with a tracking number. I was sent a full refund, without any questions - and used that to order this copy, which arrived without any hassles). All good!
