Abstract

Hybrid cars. Hybrid workplaces. Hybrid war. Hybrid states. We are witnessing today the mixing of elements to create new forms of life, business, work, war and politics. In times of technological, geopolitical, social and political change, the ability to creatively devise new assemblages is viewed as a vital process of innovation and survival. This chapter provides an epilogue to the edited collection Masks of Authoritarianism: Hegemony, Power and Public Life in Bangladesh, exploring the various implications of hybridity, control and global politics in contemporary Bangladesh.
