In his Modernity at Large: Cultural Dimensions of Globalization (1986), Arjun Appadurai, claims that the world has become deterritorialized, diasporic, and transnational, while he discusses a set of structural problems concerning “locality and neighborhoods, text and context, ethnoscapes and life-worlds” in the globalized world. Homi Bhabha’s The Location of Culture (1994) clarifies the question of culture in the realm of the “beyond,” which refers to “the moment of transit where space and time cross to produce complex figures of difference and identity, past and present, inside and outside, inclusion and exclusion.” This moment of transit or in-between spaces or interstices of “beyond” signify spatial distance, and the exceeding of the boundary in the act of going beyond are unknowable and unrepresentable without a return to the present via “the bridge which gathers as a passage that crosses.” After Bhabha, critics and theorists such as Etienne Balibar, Jahan Ramazani, James Clifford, Richard Kearney, Walter Benn Michaels, Aihwa Ong, and many others have grappled with the project of what Bhabha calls “crosscultural initiations,” by unknotting this complicated intermixture of the terms which span from global, diasporic, postnational, postcolonial, hemispheric, and last but not in the least, “transnational.” But the Bhabhaian project of “cultural translation” still remains problematic. Since theory becomes abstract and abortive unless provided with the evidence of its applied discursive practices, my attempt is to superimpose a discursive anchor of the concept of the “transcultural” on modern and contemporary poetry studies in English and to remap and reterritorialize the cross-national mobility of modern and contemporary poetry.
Abstract
In his Modernity at Large: Cultural Dimensions of Globalization (1986), Arjun Appadurai, claims that the world has become deterritorialized, diasporic, and transnational, while he discusses a set of structural problems concerning “locality and neighborhoods, text and context, ethnoscapes and life-worlds” in the globalized world. Homi Bhabha’s The Location of Culture (1994) clarifies the question of culture in the realm of the “beyond,” which refers to “the moment of transit where space and time cross to produce complex figures of difference and identity, past and present, inside and outside, inclusion and exclusion.” This moment of transit or in-between spaces or interstices of “beyond” signify spatial distance, and the exceeding of the boundary in the act of going beyond are unknowable and unrepresentable without a return to the present via “the bridge which gathers as a passage that crosses.” After Bhabha, critics and theorists such as Etienne Balibar, Jahan Ramazani, James Clifford, Richard Kearney, Walter Benn Michaels, Aihwa Ong, and many others have grappled with the project of what Bhabha calls “crosscultural initiations,” by unknotting this complicated intermixture of the terms which span from global, diasporic, postnational, postcolonial, hemispheric, and last but not in the least, “transnational.” But the Bhabhaian project of “cultural translation” still remains problematic. Since theory becomes abstract and abortive unless provided with the evidence of its applied discursive practices, my attempt is to superimpose a discursive anchor of the concept of the “transcultural” on modern and contemporary poetry studies in English and to remap and reterritorialize the cross-national mobility of modern and contemporary poetry.
