Initially coined by art historians in the second half of the
nineteenth century to denote an ambivalent artistic style and
period, 'Orientalizing' has been invariably used to describe a
phenomenon, a revolution, or a movement. Regional developments and
innovations in the ancient Mediterranean have been explained by
reference to an Orient, the metaphorical bazaar containing the
artistic opulence and social sophistication that spread to the West
and changed it. "Debating Orientalization" brings together papers
presented at a symposium held in Oxford in 2002 to debate the theme
of ancient Orientalization. The volume reassesses the concept of
Orientalizing, questioning whether it is valid to interpret
Mediterranean-wide processes of change in the Late Bronze and Early
Iron Ages by the term Orientalization. Like the ancient
Mediterranean itself, the list of contributors is multicultural,
and their contributions multidisciplinary, combining various
strands of archaeological and textual evidence with different
methodological approaches.
