Time to Live in new lands: Cultural transition and the need for Global perspectives in the contemporary world

Abstract

The story of man’s life focuses on the journey from one place to another destination. This idea of migration is even more relevant in the modern days of globalisation and neo-liberal economics. Man, in many ways, is no longer found as an individual identity lost in a shell; he has to come into contact with newer platforms of exchange and relations. The notion of togetherness is the focus of this paper. History delineates such quests of greater significance. Contemporary writers, who have explored the complexities of life's relationships in their works and seek solutions, become the true representatives of the troubled contemporary journeys of loss and transformation.
