Trajectories assembles cultural critics not only from countries with a known cultural studies tradition such as America, Canada and Australia but from Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Philippines, India and Thailand. A critical confrontation between the imperial and colonial coordinates of north and south, east and west, Trajectories presents cultural studies as an international and decolonized project, linking critical energies to chart the future direction of the discipline. The contributors include: Ien Ang, Chua beng Huat, Leo Ching, Renato Constantino, Ken Dean, Stuart Hall, Yung Ho-Im, Ding-Tzann Lii, Meaghan Morris, Stephen Muecke, Ashia Nandy, Cindy Patton, Mark Reid, Naoki Sakai, Ubonrat Siriyuvasak, Law Wing-san.

Customer Rating:
Summary: A useful approach to the maze of Asia/Pacific struggles.
Comment: Dislocates and relocates practices and discipline of cultural studies in an array of Asia/Pacific sites in the context of resurrecting decolonizing dynamics and social democratic energies from earlier projects. The end result is a useful and multiple approach to the complex maze of Asia/Pacific cultural and political struggles,with more to come from Taiwan and elsewhere beyond the Birmingham old model.

Summary: An indispensable text for doing Asia/Pacific cult studies
Comment: This is an indispensable text for doing Asia/Pacific cultural studies in the contemporary moment, exposing a range of tactics and problems under construction. The range of work and disciplinary mixtures challenge prior and stable senses of what constitutues the field of social science, or literary studies for that matter, and "cultural studies" is itself seen to be a mongrel fate of uncertainty and exploration, tracing "trajectories" from Taipei to Birmingham and Honolulu and beyond. A work of global/local engagements, in the full sense of that dialectic. Ien Ang is NOT the co-editor at all, by the way.
