Abstract/Summary

This study examines Eric Gamalinda's The Empire of Memory from another perspective in Cultural Materialism with the use of Alan Sinfield's Faultlines: cultural materialism and the politics of dissident reading. The novel is analyzed by means of looking into the faultlines and breaking points that enable dissident reading. This study also explores how creative vandalism is performed in the novel.
