Transnational corporate culture and cultural resistance

Article Abstract:

A struggle for worldwide cultural dominance in the name of modernism and the growth of technology have resulted in the growth of cultural nationalism. Iran, Bangladesh, Egypt and Algeria are experiencing the growth of fundamentalism. The nationalist movement has rightfully opposed the onslaught of a dominant culture but has not provided any concrete solution for this. US withdrawal from UNESCO is a sad development. The growth of video as cheap means has supported the underfunded artists. There is a need to totally integrate cultural concerns into political practice and daily lives.

Media wars

Article Abstract:

The immense growth of mass media has resulted in increased cultural domination of the poor countries by the developed economies. The south has thus succeeded in imposing its political and consumer messages on the north. The north-south divide has become more sharp with the changes in the international economic scenario and the divide is both between the multilateral and native citizenry. European cinema is reeling under the pressure of Hollywood film industry. Artistic films have suffered due to the commercialisation of cinema.

The Aesthetics of Resistance: Thoughts on Peter Weiss

Article Abstract:

Peter Weiss in the three-part novel, The Aesthetics of Resistance, accomplished a sweeping reinterpretation of major elements of the Western cultural canon from the point of view of a hitherto marginalized perspective for the working class. Weiss is characterized by his narrative style of mixing different epochs and exploring parallelisms by using the device of dialogue.
