The Cultural Net [EPUB ebook] 
Early Modern Drama as a Paradigm

This volume offers a new theoretical approach to cultural production inspired by the metaphor of culture as a virtual network. Following a thorough outline of this approach, the theoretical framework is elucidated in a second part through examples drawn from early modern European drama. A third and final part then presents a critical discussion of the concept of ‘national’ culture and literature, from its first formulation by Johann Gottfried Herder to its current developments, including postcolonial studies.
