Inhaltsangabe
The notion of ethnicity as it is currently used is theoretically ambivalent, confusing, indeed self-contradictory, according to Rey Chow. To radically reconceptualize the ways ethnicity functions in capitalist society, Chow proposes that it be analyzed in conjunction with Max Weber's famous theory about the protestant work ethic, especially in terms of the economic and psychological, as well as the religious-spiritual, ramifications of the word "protest." In her reading of the politics of ethnicity, she examines a diverse set of texts, works of Foucault, Weber, Derrida, Balibar, Brontë, Asian-American authors Hongo and Yau; films of Hitchcock, Duras, and Resnais; and the drawings of Hong Kong cartoonist Larry Feign.

Softcover. Zustand: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. In late-capitalist Western society, cross-ethnic cultural transactions are a daily reality. Acclaimed cultural critic Rey Chow argues that the current understanding of ethnicity is theoretically ambivalent and self-contradictory, caught between a universalist rhetoric of inclusion and the lived experiences of violence and intolerance. To reconceptualize ethnicity, Chow suggests examining it alongside Max Weber's theory of the Protestant work ethic and capitalism, which posits that secular beliefs in salvation often align with the disciplining of subjects through specific forms of labor. This collaboration produces what she terms the "protestant ethnic," a figure rich with economic, psychological, and spiritual implications. Chow investigates cross-ethnic representational politics through a diverse array of texts, including works by Georg Lukacs, Michel Foucault, and Frantz Fanon, as well as films by Alfred Hitchcock and Marguerite Duras, and the cartoons of Larry Feign. She traces familiar scenarios of stereotyping, coercive mimeticism, and collective narcissism, addressing issues such as the rise of white feminist racial power and intraethnic ressentiment. Through interlocking critical dialogues, Chow challenges readers to rethink an urgent topic in innovative ways. Artikel-Nr. ecac4526-a649-4b2f-9128-175bdc6ab63b

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In late-capitalist Western society, cross-ethnic cultural transactions are an inevitable daily routine. Yet, according to acclaimed cultural critic Rey Chow, the notion of ethnicity as it is currently used is theoretically ambivalent, confusing, indeed self-contradictory, straddling as it does an uneasy boundary between a universalist rhetoric of inclusion on the one hand, and actual, lived experiences of violence and intolerance on the other. To drastically reconceptualize ethnicity in the contemporary world, Chow proposes that it be examined in conjunction with Max Weber's famous theory about the Protestant work ethic and capitalism, which holds that secular belief in salvation often collaborates effectively with the interpellation, disciplining, and rewarding of subjects constituted by specific forms of labor. The charged figure that results from such a collaboration, resonant with the economic, psychological, and spiritual implications of the word 'protest, ' is what she refers to as the protestant ethnic.
