The Routledge Companion to Cultural Text and the Nation
About this book
The Routledge Companion to Cultural Text and the Nation brings together over 30 articles by leading and emerging scholars from around the world who engage fresh critical lenses, from affect studies to the medical humanities, and re-energize established frameworks to examine the interplay between cultural production and conceptualizations of the nation and nationalism. The scholarship in this volume takes as its objects of analysis various forms of aesthetic and cultural production, from film and literature to museums and costume books, enriching the conversation that has often siloed these forms.
Geared toward scholars, graduate students, and upper-level undergraduates across the humanities and social sciences, this timely, interdisciplinary collection is issued at a critical juncture in the transformation of the nation and the global resurgence of regressive and populist nationalist movements. Both offering new insights reorienting our understanding of canonical materials and bringing noncanonical works to light, this volume challenges long-held assumptions about the nation while establishing its continued significance and future possibilities.
