Opis

This book questions what culture is and what it is assumed to 'look like' in the context of globalization.

Recenzje

'What happens when we study culture from a transnational perspective? How will it shape our understanding of language? Through fascinating analyses of how 'Koreanness' is constructed across time and space, Jerry Won Lee's new book snatches us away from familiar places where culture supposedly resides, and takes us on a mind-expanding journey where we discover that meaning in language is resignified and recalibrated anew in every circuit of encounter.' Joseph Sung-Yul Park, National University of Singapore
