Abstract

Deterritorialization, translocality, globalization, postcolonial, postnational, transnational: we are in the midst of a redefinition of space. In the very moment that national and ethnic boundaries are breaking down we encounter paradoxical reinvestments in homeland, territorial integrity, localism, regionalism, and race- and ethnocentrism. How do we make sense of this contradictory mapping of global and local space? How do we understand state and national systems of sovereignty as geographic or place-centered dramas of domination? How do we maneuver between incommensurable histories of the regional and transnational in a postmodern world? The contributors to 'The Geography of Identity' are at the forefront of the new social geography. Their essays investigate a range of topics as categories of analysis we have to reimagine. Contributors include Arjun Appadurai on deterritorialization and the postnationalJoseph Boone on queer desire and urban spaceAchille Mbembe on the political culture of the postcolonyNuala Ni Dhomhnaill on psychic homelands and Irish placenamesPieter Judson on the geographies of German nationalismRashid Khalidi on the repressions within Palestinian historiographyMark Liechy on media politics in NepalBillie Melman on British colonialism and the veilSaskia Sassen on globalized urban economies and minority laborersMichael Watts on the interactive geographies of Islam and capitalism in NigeriaGwendolyn Wright on the effects of the local on modernist architectureVictoria Wolcott on African-American numbers-runners and Detroit's underground economyBernard Williams on the moral philosophy of spaceand Anton Shammas on autocartography. With its explorations of the urban heteroclite, the postcolony and nativist ideologies of place, this volume promises to be a groundbreaking contribution to the remapping of global and local cartographies of culture. Patricia Yaeger is Associate Professor of English and Women's Studies, University of Michigan.

Abstract

Paul du Gay shows how the capacities and predispositions required of consumers and those required of employees are increasingly difficult to distinguish. Both consumers and employees are represented as autonomous, responsible, calculating individuals. They are constituted as such in the language of consumer cultures and the all-pervasive discourses of enterprise whereby persons are required to be entrepreneurs of the self, at work, at play and in all aspects of their lives.
