T1 Paradigms of Diversity in Hanif Kureishi's The Buddha of Suburbia
A1 Wallhead, Celia M.
AB In this paper we put to the test a model for assessing culturalexchange and cultural identity in the post-modern and post-colonialworld. The model is suggested by Arjun Appadurai in the article ‘Disjunctureand Difference in the Global Cultural Economy’ and it consistsof five paradigms or terms coined on the nucleus ‘-scape’:ethnoscape, finanscape, technoscape, mediascape and ideoscape. Thismodel recognises the importance of new social groupings caused bymobility and hence new identities based on how people now see themselves.The modern world is an interactive system in which centuriesoldcultural transactions between social groups have been intensified,speeded up or modified through technological developments affectingpower economies, transportation and information. The model hasbeen applied to a fictitious world contained in a 1990s novel of culturalidentities, set in the London of the 1970s and 1980s: HanifKureishi’s The Buddha of Suburbia.
