Spaces of Identity

This text examines the ways in which collective cultural identities are being reshaped under conditions of a postmodern geography and a communications environment of cable and satellite broadcasting.
We are living through a time when old identities - nation, culture and gender are melting down. This text examines the ways in which collective cultural identities are being reshaped under conditions of a postmodern geography and a communications environment of cable and satellite broadcasting.;To address current problems of identity, the authors look at contemporary politics between Europe and its most significant others: America, Islam and the Orient. They show that it's against these places that Europe's own identity has been and is now being defined.
