This edited book considers the need for the continued dismantling
of conceptual and cultural hegemonies of 'East' and 'West' in the
humanities and social sciences. Cutting across a wide range of
literature, film and art from different contexts and ages, this
collection seeks out the interpenetrating dynamic between both
terms. Highlighting the inherent instability of East and West as
oppositional categories, it focuses on the 'crossings' between East
and West and this nexus as a highly-charged arena of encounter and
collision. Drawing from varied literary contexts ranging from
Victorian literature to Chinese literature and modern European
literature, the book covers a diverse range of subject matter,
including material drawn from psychoanalytic and postcolonial
theory and studies related to race, religion, diaspora, and gender,
and investigates topical social and political issues -including
terrorism, nationalism, citizenship, the refugee crisis, xenophobia
and otherness. Offering a framework to consider the salient
questions of cultural, ideological and geographical change in our
societies, this book is a key read for those working within world
literary studies.
