Heroism in Contemporary Culture: A Global Phenomenon

In the twenty-first century, heroes and heroic discourse have become more prominent. Recent research on heroism has highlighted this trend, yet it has often overlooked the fact that heroism is now increasingly a global phenomenon in terms of both production and consumption. This edited collection seeks to fill this gap in research by presenting case studies from scholars across different regions and disciplines. These studies delve into how the processes of translation and adaptation on a transnational and transcultural level influence the concept of heroism in both non-Western and Western societies. Through this book, readers will gain fresh insights into the study of heroism and discover a new perspective for global and postcolonial studies.
