Ebook: Orientalismus heute: Perspektiven arabisch-deutscher Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaft

What is the Orient? Who defines it? How do we speak about the Arab world? What discursive traditions have emerged? What do texts and images about other cultures say about our own? These questions, which Edward W. Said raised in his provocative work Orientalism, have become especially explosive today. This volume brings together international literary scholars and cultural historians to discuss current concepts of orientalism.
