Abstract

The author argues that the appropriation of Western discourse - what she calls "Occidentalism" - can have a socially liberating effect in contemporary non-Western culture. Using China as a focus for analysis, she examines the cultural and political relations between East and West.

Abstract

In deze bundel essays wordt de opvatting dat de moderne Westerse wereld gedragen wordt door rationalisme en secularisatie in vraag gesteld. Ook in het Westen spelen irrationele, religieuze factoren een belangrijke rol (bv. de relatie religie-nationalisme, het verband tussen de beschavingsmissie van de moderne wereld en de christelijke zendingsdrang). Verder komen een aantal problemen aan bod waarmee een moderne natie-staat worstelt: multiculturalisme, synbcretisme en hybriditeit.

Abstract

The 1893 World's Parliament of Religions was much more than a religious assembly. It was conceived as a presentation of the major religious forces at work in the late nineteenth century. The goal of the Parliament was "to unite all religion against irreligion," and many observers celebrated that spirit. Some saw the Parliament as a sign of the coming fulfillment of missionaries' hope to evangelize the world, but others saw it as a disaster for missionaries. Some thought. It proved the superiority of Christianity; others saw a victory for the religions of the East. Some thought the Parliament pointed toward the coming unity of all Christians, while for others it seemed a revelation of the forces dividing Christendom. Seager's beautifully fashioned narrative explores this fascinating event in all its complexities and establishes it as truly a watershed event in the emergence of a more pluralistic religious culture in America.
