Description

Trading Culture explores a variety of contemporary and historical issues related to the trade in cultural commodities between cultures, countries, and continents. The contributors, writing from various perspectives within the fields of film, television, and cultural studies, all touch upon the distinctiveness of cultural expression and the effects of the migration of cultural commodities across national boundaries. Their essays reveal the complexities and contradictions of international trade and cultural exchange, whether in the growing cultural markets of China, Brazil, and India or in the two-way flows of largely Anglo-Saxon North Atlantic exchanges. And behind these investigations lie some larger questions about the links between cultural expression, cultural suppression, and political violence.
