Autor: Arun Prabha Mukhrjee AnotaceIn these closely argued essays, taking examples from writing and film, Arun Mukherjee considers the place of the third world person- both as artistic creator and as a subject of artistic endeavour- in the West. Works of non-mainstream, immigrant artists, she urges, should be understood on their own terms. In particular, established Western aesthetics, especially the idea of the Universak and its applications, even within the domains of postcolonial and feminist criticism, are demonstrated as instances of domination that disregard third world experience and particularities. Key texts from the Western canon, blind to these details of the third world lives they portray, are shown to be distortional and even offensive. This important work includes detailed and original considerations of the works of David Lean, Michael Ondaatje, M.G. Vassanji, Earle Birney, Rohinton Mistry, Neil Bissoondath, Dionne Brand, and numerous others. Dostupné zdroje
