Beauty and Brutality: Manila and Its Global Discontents
商品資訊
商品簡介
Beauty and Brutality provides an exciting, original, and critical encounter with this labyrinthine city's imagined and material landscape. The authors and contributors investigate the "messy, fleshy, recalcitrant, mercurial, and immeasurable qualities of the city," examining its urban space and smell: how it is represented in films, literature, music, and urban streetart; how it has endured the politics of colonialism, U.S. imperialism, neoliberalism, and globalization; as well as how its queer citizens engage with digital media platforms to communicate and connect with each other.
The first volume to offer a cultural and urban studies approach to Manila, Beauty and Brutality considers the tensions of the Filipino diaspora as they migrate and "re-turn," as well as the citizens' responses to the Marcos (and post-Marcos) dictatorship, President Duterte's authoritarianism, and "Drug War." Essays also map out of geographies of repression and resistance in the urban war of classes, genders and sexualities, ethnicities and races, and generations, along with the violence of urban life and growth. Ultimately, Beauty and Brutality frames Manila as a vibrant and ever-evolving metropolis that, even in the face of its difficulties, instills hope.
