This paper studies the possibility of an alternative knowledge in the era of globalization. An analytical understanding on the phenomenon of globalization is first provided with Susan Hawthorne's theory on the struggle of power and knowledge, Zygmunt Bauman's observation on the shift from the Panopticon to Synopticon, and Vandana Shiva's insight into the monocultures of culture and nature. Following Hawthorne, Burman and Shiva's argumentation, the analysis of The Heart of Redness deals with the global imperial homogeneity of local culture and landscape and highlights the values of difference and diversity in the era of globalization. Throughout the discussion this paper urges a trajectory towards an alternative knowledge. |
