Sommario/riassunto

This anthology on otherness and the media, first published in 1993,



was prompted by the proliferation of writings centring on issues of 'difference', 'diversity', 'multiculturalism', 'representation' and 'postcolonial' discourses. Such issues and discourses question existing canons of criticism, theory and cultural practice but also because they suggest a new sense of direction in theorisation of difference and representation.
