How do we know the other culture? How do such inquiries impact on
our knowledge of our own culture? These questions lie at the heart
of comparative intercultural studies. As a theoretical inquiry into
how conceptual resources of cultures (such as explicit and implicit
categories of thought) may pre-figure our perspectives, this book
re-conceives and reorients comparative intercultural inquiry by
arguing for the importance of an epistemological approach and for
its potential to transform current critical paradigms, in contrast
to approaches that emphasize primarily the political and the
ethical. By critically engaging with and developing the insights of
scholars and thinkers from both Anglo-American and Continental
traditions, the book makes a significant meta-critical contribution
to a rethinking of comparative intercultural studies and literary
theory. It will be of interest to students and scholars in
comparative literature, English, world literature, and global and
translation studies.
