Apuntes sobre la relación entre la cultura virtual y la cultura mexicana en la Internet
Un efecto crucial de la globalización es una forma de intercambio cultural tan radicalmente nueva que demanda una redefinición de lo que concebimos como multiculturalismo y junto con ello de la naturaleza de la cultura misma. No sólo basta con analizar a las culturas nacionales y a sus identidades manteniendo la idea de una cultura fija, homogénea, que se encuentra bajo la supuesta amenaza de fuerzas globales. Es necesario buscar nuevas definicio…
Nonlinear causality in Castells's network society
In this article I consider Castells's network society trilogy as a key site for examining claims that globalization today is driven by a new paradigm, in which networks and digital technologies play a decisive role in producing revolutionary new forms of economics, politics, culture and society. To theorize this change I draw on a rich, explicit account of non-linear causal processes found in far-from-equilibrium cybernetics, foregrounding the al…
Politics of Chinese Language and Culture
Critical Incident Analysis and the Semiosphere
In January 2007, media outlets across Australia reported the local court decision Police v Rose. Mr Rose pleaded guilty and the presiding magistrate recorded no conviction. This event sparked a 'butterfly effect' that culminated in legislative amendments changing the make-up of the body responsible for oversight of judges in New South Wales. Key players failed to observe the doctrine of the separation of powers; while others called for its observ…
What Was Postcolonialism
This essay examines the "pastness" of postcolonial theory by locating it in the project of an "uncompleted" modernity. It argues that as a theoretical problematic "postcolonialism" seems to have lost two of its crucial "memories": the memory of lexicon (especially the etymology of the word "colony") and the memory of a revitalised understanding of the links between imperialism, labour and modernity. Invoking a reworking of a Marxist analytic that…
Feral Archaeology and the Atlantis Problem
This article uses a case study of a TV programme, Atlantis Uncovered, an archaeological programme debunking popular ideas of Atlantis and the ancient past, as an instance of a discursive paradox, or discursive pathology, in which defenders of traditional canons of scholarship (science and rationality) decide they must go feral, fighting fire with fire, using the illogical and irrational methods of thought they attribute to what they perceive as t…
The Politics of Chinese Language and Culture
An innovative text which adopts the tools of cultural studies to provide a fresh approach to the study of Chinese language, culture and society. The book tackles areas such as grammar, language, gender, popular culture, film and the Chinese diaspora and employs the concepts of social semiotics to extend the ideas of language and reading. Covering a range of cultural texts, it will help to break down the boundaries around the ideas and identities …
