Recenzii
"This analysis of global icons and the enigmatic ways in which they work through the global fabric and the local public imagination revolves around three very contrasting images from different fields of signification. They are of three women: Phoolan Devi, Arundhati Roy, and Mother Teresa....Ghosh, taking Coca Cola as an instance, looks at how the global intersects the local in unpredictable ways: on the one hand, it lures the local into the global paradise of consumption and, on the other, its own proliferation as global icon offers the protest movements the cultural means to form or deform such attachments to the global, subversive ends." C. S. Venkiteswaran, The Hindu, February 27th 2012
This is an ambitious account of the plastic potentializaton of images in the age of iconoclashes. Into the impersonal world of global mass communications, Bishnupriya Ghosh restores the richness of gender, god, nature, and chaos, making our epistemological encounters with mundane objects ingredients of a sumptuous materialist media theory of the bio-icon. Rey Chow, author of Sentimental Fabulations, Contemporary Chinese Films
Global Icons is a thoughtful intervention into vital issues not usually examined together: the political potential of contemporary mass-mediated bio-icons and embodied engagements with media images at the current conjuncture of neoliberalism and globalization. Bishnupriya Ghosh compellingly revitalizes materialist analyses of media, of iconic efficacy, and of neoliberal image regimes and, while shes at it, performs a refreshing deprovincialization of the global.--Kajri Jain, author of Gods in the Bazaar: The Economies of Indian Calendar Art
