About this book

"Approach to the complex interaction between the outward identity of the most familiar objects of our environment and some of their underlying symbolic associations. Advertisements, body prints, clothings and cosmetics, food, games, money, marks and signs are not necessarily what they seem ... a remarkable variety of categories--or 'identity kits'--over 280 provocative illustrations expose the ambiguous nature of identity, jog the preconceptions of the mind and eye and hint at the layers of meaning that lie hidden in the visual flotsam of our everyday lives"--Dustjacket.

Alterity politics

Jeffrey T. Nealon

In conventional identity politics subjective differences are understood negativively, as gaps to be overcome, as lacks of sameness, as evidence of failed or incomplete unity. In Alterity Politics, Jeffrey T. Nealon argues instead for a concrete and ethical understanding of community, one that requires response, action, and performance instead of passive resentment and unproductive mourning for a whole that cannot be attained.

Joyce, imperialism, & postcolonialism

Leonard Orr

"On the surface, James Joyce's work is largely apolitical. Through most of the twentieth century he was the proud embodiment of the rootless intellectual. However, perspectives on the colonial history of Ireland have proliferated in recent years, yielding a subtle and complex conception of the Irish postcolonial experience that has become a major theme in current Joyce scholarship. In this volume Leonard Orr brings together a diverse collection of essays situating Joyce in the debates generated by postcolonial theory and discourse."--BOOK JACKET.
