Zustand: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. 270 Seiten Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Very good copy! Through re-examination of colonial and post-colonial encounters, this collection of essays makes a strategic intervention into the current debate over the study of "Western Civilization." Together they question whether, at least since Columbus, "the West" has existed independent of its relations with those deemed Other. Indeed, each essay contributes to the displacement of "Western Civilization," undermining its canonical boundaries by demonstrating their shifting location and permeability. The authors provide detailed case studies of cultural crossings--the mutual conditioning that takes place in relations of power and domination. Their essays show how cultural differences shaped historical events and how, in turn, new differences emerged from colonial encounters--how "Europeans" and "non-Europeans" were forged in colonial relations, and continue to be formed in post-colonial relations. The product of a rich exchange between anthropology, history and literary studies, Crossing Cultures provides a foundation for a reinvigorated study of power and representation.
