CULTURE IN CRISIS

Description

The book seeks to explore within the essays nature of our culture traversing changes, difficulties and obstacles it has to surmount along with the various genres and trajectories it manifests in like film, literature, society etc. Articles on films of a general nature with specific readings are incorporated. Academic essays dealing with the time, age, current trends of human responses in the field of environment, literary works etc also find a place. Culture as a diversifying and equally assimilating process needs to be studied in an open ambience of freedom of expression, performative excellence and perennially exchanging dialogic. Today at the outset of a time of fatigue, super innuendo, schizophrenic diaspora and a tension between unethical morality and impersonally obsessive drive that results in decay, disintegration and ruptures, human kind is in need of a balance, a comma, a period, a pause. In this most uneasy critical moment of crisis, all the manifest content and forms of culture need to be reread, recorded, refurbished for a longer sustainability of ecology, society and culture, media, film and literature.
