Abstract

"Orientalism, as explored by Edward Said in 1978, was a far more complex phenomenon than many suspected, being homogenous along the lines of neither culture nor time. Instead, it is deeply embedded in the collective reimaginings that were - and are - nationalism. The dozen essays in Genealogies of Orientalism argue that the critique of orientalism, far from being exhausted, must develop further. To do so, however, a historical turn must be made, and the ways in which modernity itself is theorized and historicized must be rethought." "According to Joan W. Scott, author of The Politics of the Veil, the essays in this collection "develop a remarkable perspective on Edward Said's Orientalism, placing it in a long historical context of critiques of colonial representations, and deepening our understanding of the very meaning of modernity." Looking beyond the usual geography of colonial theory, this work broadens the focus from the Middle East and India to other Asian societies. By exploring orientalism in literary and artistic representations of colonial subjects, the authors illuminate the multifaceted ways in which modern cultures have drawn on orientalist images and indigenous self-representations. It is in this complex, cross-cultural collision that the overlapping of orientalism and nationalism can be found."--BOOK JACKET.

Abstract

Foucault lived for two years in Tunisia and travelled to Japan and Iran more than once. Yet throughout his critical scholarship, he insisted that the cultures of the Orient and the Occident constitute the "limit" of Western rationality. Using interviews with scholars familiar with him from Tunisia and Japan, the book examines the manner in which Foucault experienced and explained his encounters with non-Western cultures.

Abstract

Im Mittelalter war Seide das bevorzugte textile Material, um Reichtum und Status zum Ausdruck zu bringen. Wurden Luxusgewebe bis zum 13. Jahrhundert aus Byzanz und Spanien importiert, so gelangten nach 1300 Seidenstoffe aus dem mongolischen Großreich in den Westen. Die aus chinesischen, persischen und muslimischen Motiven komponierten Muster trugen eine neue Ästhetik nach Europa. Das Buch behandelt Gewänder und Objekte aus panni tartarici, die in Gräbern, Kirchenschätzen und musealen Sammlungen erhalten geblieben sind. Anhand von Form und Funktion der Textilien wird unter Einbeziehung von Quellen, Texten und Bildern gezeigt, wie Klerus und Adel sich das fremde Material aneigneten. Indem Herkunftsregionen untersucht und Wege der Seide nach Westen nachgezeichnet werden, thematisiert die Studie die globale Vernetzung in der Vormoderne.

Abstract

"Do women have souls? Christianity has traditionally held the soul to be the seat of reason, intelligence, humanity, immortality, and moral agency. But the Book of Genesis never says that God breathed a soul into Eve. Women's souls thus became significant in Reformation satires as Protestants and Catholics debated whether scripture alone or institutional authority ought to determine interpretation. In England, these satires eventually intersected with what scholars have called the "Trinitarian Controversy," a dispute about the nature of Christ that paralleled the interpretive difficulty regarding the nature of women's souls. In order to marginalize heterodox thinkers who claimed that Christ was not of the same substance as God the Father, orthodox Anglicans collapsed the distinction between schism and heresy by comparing heterodox Christians to a sexualized stereotype of Muslim despots. Part of this stereotype was the (erroneous) claim that Muslim doctrine asserted that women did not have souls and could only experience physical, not intellectual, pleasure. Thus, the problem of competing Christian biblical interpretations could be foisted onto a stereotype of Muslim men as brutal, self-serving misogynists. Englishwomen soon took up the trope to argue that a truly enlightened, and necessarily Christian, Englishman would support improvements in women's education--and feminist orientalism was born"--
