Features: From a cultural perspective to study the issue of globalization, this approach has just begun in Chinese academia. Therefore, the viewpoints in this book are provided to readers interested in this topic and scholars seeking in-depth research, offering several different perspectives for readers to make their own unique judgments while reading. The book includes:
Part I "Globalization: From Economy to Culture" collects several papers that study the issue of globalization from a cultural perspective.
Part II "Globalization and Culture" collects seven articles by scholars from China and the West. It is not difficult for readers to see that the discussions by each author are conducted on the same level, making the dialogue more focused and targeted.
Part III "Globalization and Comparative Study of Chinese and Western Literatures" features authors who are primarily engaged in literary research. Some scholars have recently shifted their interests toward cultural studies, but the main analyzed texts remain literary works, or a literary study based on a cultural perspective.
