How adequate are our theories of globalisation for analysing the
worlds we share with others? In this provocative new book,
Henrietta Moore asks us to step back and re-examine in a fresh way
the interconnections normally labeled 'globalisation'.
Rather than beginning with abstract processes and flows, Moore
starts by analyzing the hopes, desires and satisfactions of
individuals in their day-to-day lives. Drawing on a wide
range of examples, from African initiation rituals to Japanese
anime, from sex in virtual worlds to Schubert songs, Moore develops
a theory of the ethical imagination, exploring how ideas about the
human subject, and its capacities for self-making and social
transformation, form a basis for reconceptualizing the role and
significance of culture in a global age. She shows how the ideas of
social analysts and ordinary people intertwine and diverge, and
argues for an ethics of engagement based on an understanding of the
human need to engage with cultural problems and seek social
change.
This innovative and challenging book is essential reading for
anyone interested in the key debates about culture and
globalization in the contemporary world.
