Orientalism refers to the imitation of aspects of Eastern
cultures in the West, and was devised in order to have authority
over the Orient. The concept of Re-Orientalism maintains the divide
between the Orient and the West. However, where Orientalism is
based on how the West constructs the East, Re-Orientalism is
grounded on how the cultural East comes to terms with an
orientalised East.
This book explores various new forms, objects and modes of
circulation that sustain this renovated form of Orientalism in
South Asian culture. The contributors identify and engage with
recent debates about postcolonial South Asian identity politics,
discussing a range of different texts and films such as The White
Tiger, Bride & Prejudice and Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love.
Providing new theoretical insights from the areas of literature,
film studies and cultural and discourse analysis, this book is an
stimulating read for students and scholars interested in South
Asian culture, postcolonial studies and identity politics.
