This book analyses representations of East Asia, mainly China and
Japan, in selected Anglophone novels and films. Starting with the
earliest texts and accounts, the first two chapters explore wider
historical and cultural contexts of the mutual influences between
the cultures of the East and West. The subsequent three chapters
discuss symptomatic examples of contemporary Anglophone films and
novels and seek to show how various cultural flows have continued
to mould Western images of East Asia. The book focuses on
narratives that highlight Western subjects transforming or becoming
reinvigorated under the East Asian influence and explores such
issues as the impact of East Asian martial arts and religious
practices on Western masculinities, East Asian motifs in utopian
and dystopian fiction, and contemporary depictions of Asian-Western
romantic relationships.
