Reassessing Orientalism : Interlocking Orientologies during the Cold War Paperback / softback
Edited by Michael (University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands) Kemper, Artemy M. Kalinovsky
Part of the Routledge Studies in the History of Russia and Eastern Europe series
Paperback / softback
Description
Orientalism as a concept was first applied to Western colonial views of the East.
Subsequently, different types of orientalism were discovered but the premise was that these took their lead from Western-style orientalism, applying it in different circumstances.
This book, on the other hand, argues that the diffusion of interpretations and techniques in orientalism was not uni-directional, and that the different orientologies – Western, Soviet and oriental orientologies – were interlocked, in such a way that a change in any one of them affected the others; that the different orientologies did not develop in isolation from each other; and that, importantly, those being orientalised were active, not passive, players in shaping how the views of themselves were developed.
