在后现代的今天，我们对经典戏剧（如莎士比亚）和“流行”文化（如007系列电影）的阅读方式和批评视角，都随着社会、政治、经济、文化的全球性变化而变得多元。本书从后现代主义、后殖民主义、女性主义、电影符号学等视角，集中分析了英美戏剧、诗歌、小说和电影中极具代表性的部分文本。本研究包括八个案例：（1）后现代文化语境中的莎士比亚；（2）奥登戏剧的“颠覆性和拼贴性”；（3）后现代英国诗歌创作的新内涵；（4）特德·休斯长篇叙事诗《沉醉》对西方精神废墟的批判；（5）托马斯·品钦《拍卖第四十九批》中的后现代性叙事、美国后工业社会的全景图及开放性阅读空间；（6）T.E.劳伦斯《智慧七柱》（及电影《沙漠枭雄》）的性别及后殖民文化解读；（7）美籍华人导演王颖电影中的华人身份再现；（8）好莱坞符号帝国与007视觉霸权的后殖民文化批判。

Although “the death of the author” has already been famouslyannounced in the late 1960s by Roland Barthes， for the authorShakespeare it is not a simple matter of how to cease to be. There is thequestion of “who is the author” to begin with. It is true that professionalShakespeareans， mostly those who work or teach at the universities，seldom seriously subscribe to the idea that we do not know who wrote theplays attributed to Shakespeare； on the contrary， they might turn themystery of authorship the other way round by thinking it mysterious whyanyone should ever doubt that William Shakespeare from Stratford-upon-Avon is the author of the thirty-eight odd plays. Nevertheless there hasbeen no lacking of enthusiasm over the years on the part of the skepticswho are convinced， for various reasons or motives， that WilliamShakespeare of Stratford did not write the works of Shakespeare， and aretherefore determined to find out the true identity of the author. Despite overwhelming evidence as a result of painstaking scholarshipwhich should have put the authorship controversy to an end， andestablished the position of the Stratford actor as the author beyond doubt，every now and then new candidates or new evidence for an old candidatewill crop up to enliven the scene. In popular imagination thesecandidates include a Renaissance intellectual， Francis Bacon and acouple of aristocrats， among whom is the most promising Earl of Oxford. ……
