Drawing on Zygmunt Bauman's theory of liquid modernity, desert island texts are analysed in terms of their intersections with repressive and seductive mechanisms of power. Chapters focus on the desert island as: a conflictingly in/coherent space that characterises identity as deferred and structured by choice; a location whose 'remoteness' undermines satirical critiques of communal identity formation; a site whose ambivalent relationship with 'home' and Otherness destabilises patriarchal 'Western' subjectivity; a space bound up with mobility and instantaneity; and an expression of radical individuality and underdetermined identity. The desert island in popular culture is shown to reflect, endorse and critique a profoundly consumerist society that seduces us with promises ofcoherence, with the threat of repression looming if we do not conform. 606 $aPopular culture 606 $aMotion pictures 606 $aTelevision broadcasting 606 $aPopular Culture 606 $aFilm and Television Studies 615 0$aPopular culture. 615 0$aMotion pictures. 615 0$aTelevision broadcasting. 615 14$aPopular Culture. 615 24$aFilm and Television Studies. 676 $a306.4 676 $a306.4 700 $aSamson$b Barney$01228311 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910863161903321 996 $aDesert islands and the liquid modern$92851606 997 $aUNINA
