| 505 | 0 | |a Introduction -- The "global village:" an evaporated dream turned nightmare. The original ambivalence of McLuhan's vision and its euphoric reception; Fulfillment of a prophecy and the crushing weight of reality: conceptualizing the current situation from an interdisciplinary perspective; Demystifying neoliberal myths related to prosperity and happiness; The environmental toll of short-sighted anthropocentric concerns; Conclusion -- Defending the marginalized and disenfranchised inhabitants of the global village. The debasement of humanity as a commodity to be exploited : the dire working conditions of disenfranchised individuals in both emerging and developed economies; The sinister realities of human and sexual trafficking in the modern world; The immigrant as the face of contemporary human exploitation; Conclusion -- Consumerism, the media, and the anonymous forces that sustain the modern world in Le Clézio's narratives. Consumerism, the new opiate of the masses: does the goods life = "the good life"?; The "liberal" or neoliberal media?; Sustaining the consumer republic through advertisement and marketing; The efforts of the "happy few" to silence the majority and to impose a monolithic culture in Le Clezio's narratives; Conclusion -- Deconstructing the "genesis myth" and simulating cosmic empathy for the entire material universe; Combating the pervasive nature of the "genesis myth": (re)-conceptualizing a post-materialist world through the lens of philosophical materialism ; Cosmic humility and the existential nature of biotic egalitarianism in Le Clézio's narratives; Demystifying the values of renaissance humanism and envisioning a biocentric ethic; Conclusion -- Resisting global hegemonic domination in Le Clézio's narratives and the importance of interculturality; Indigenous efforts at maintaining autonomy and traditional cultural identities in the face of globalization; What can be learned from modern failed utopias : intercultural dialogue, creolization, and hybridity; (Re)-appropriating technology to defend the oppressed and disenfranchised; Conclusion -- Conclusion -- Postscript. "Doubting must be the beginning of wisdom": a conversation with J.M.G. Le Clezio. | |

| 520 | |a "This monograph represents the first comprehensive study of the multifaceted representations of the complex phenomenon of globalization in the diverse repertoire of the 2008 Nobel Laureate in Literature. This interdisciplinary investigation explores the original euphoria related to the ambivalent concept of the 'global village' and how this evaporated dream can perhaps be re-appropriated and redefined to create a better global society for both the human and Cosmic Other through the lens of Le Clézio's fiction"--Provided by publisher. | ||
