Engaging novels, poetry, theater, and new media from both the U.S. and internationally such as Kazuo Ishiguros science fiction novel Never Let Me Go or Ruth Ozekis My Year of Meats and exhibits like that of Body Worlds in which many of the bodies on display originated from Chinese prisons Rachel C. Lee teases out the preoccupation with human fragments and posthuman ecologies in the context of Asian American cultural production and theory. She unpacks how the designation of Asian American itself is a mental construct that is paradoxically linked to the biological body.<br><br>Through chapters that each use a body part as springboard for reading Asian American texts, Lee inaugurates a new avenue of research on biosociality and biopolitics within Asian American criticism, focused on the literary and cultural understandings of pastoral governmentality, the divergent scales of embodiment, and the queer (cross)species being of racial subjects. Lee establishes an intellectual alliance and methodological synergy between Asian American studies and Science and Technology Studies (STS), biocultures, medical humanities, and femiqueer approaches to family formation, carework, affect, and ethics. In pursuing an Asian Americanist critique concerned with speculative and real changes to human biologies, she both produces innovation within the field and demonstrates the urgency of that critique to other disciplines.</p>", "author": "Rachel C.

While members of the Asian American communities initially served on the departmental advisory boards, planning and developing areas of the curriculum, university pressures eventually dictated their expulsion. At that moment in history, the intellectual work of the field was split off from its relation to the community at large, giving rise to the entire problematic of representation in the academic sphere.<br>Even as the original objectives of the field have remained elusive, Asian American studies has nevertheless managed to establish itself in the university. Mark Chiang argues that the fundamental precondition of institutionalization within the university is the production of cultural capital, and that in the case of Asian American Studies (as well as other fields of minority studies), the accumulation of cultural capital has come primarily from the conversion of political capital. In this way, the definition of cultural capital becomes the primary terrain of political struggle in the university, and outlines the very conditions of possibility for political work within the academy. Beginning with the theoretical debates over identity politics and cultural nationalism, and working through the origins of ethnic studies in the Third World Strike, the formation of the Asian American literary field, and the Blus Hanging controversy, The Cultural Capital of Asian American Studies articulates a new and innovative model of cultural and academic politics, illuminating the position of ethnic studies within the American university.</p>", "author": "Mark Chiang", "slug": "the-cultural-capital-of-asian-american-studies-251640-9780814717202-mark-chiang", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/9780814717202.jpg", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "251640", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/251640/the-cultural-capital-of-asian-american-studies-251640-9780814717202-mark-chiang", "bisac_codes": [ "SOC005000", "SOC008000" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "ISBN13": "9780814717011", "EISBN13": "9780814717202", "EISBN10": "0814717209" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010023472536" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000251638", "attributes": { "name": "The Correspondence of Walt Whitman (Vol. 4)", "subtitle": "", "description": "After decades of feminism and deconstruction, romance remains firmly in place as a central preoccupation in the lives of most women.

No matter what the event, the conflicts that arise on our campuses can be viewed in terms of constitutional principles, which either control or influence outcomes of these events.
