Opis

All over the world identity based movement brings to the fore questions of one s space, displacement, community, identity and politics. The discussions in this volume are thought provoking and throw light on the relationship between a place and what the place stands for, which is ideological but the engineering of space into place actually determines what is important and essential and what comes later on as an appendix. The effort is to portray a world and a temporality which is captive to the regime of representation and on the other hand a world moving towards a new humanism . The essays attempt at a sustained argument on all aspects of women s existence, and an exploration of issues pertaining to space, identity, and the question of otherness .It is an effort to define what we can be and what we have to struggle to go beyond.
