It arose in the British colonial period in the belief that the East was not civilized enough to understand itself; therefore, it had to be interpreted by the West for both Easterners and Westerners, thus giving rise to an Us versus Them dichotomy which has proved to be increasingly dangerous. As a concept, Orientalism has generated new fields of study and dynamically affected fields as diverse as anthropology, history, popular culture, and architecture. The essays in Interrogating Orientalism: Contextual Approaches and Pedagogical Practices, edited by Diane Long Hoeveler and Jeffrey Cass, confront the problematics of Orientalist definition and representation. The contributors to this volume define Interrogating Orientalism as a method of introducing students-at all levels-to the ways in which Orientalism is not an academic concept, but one that exists in their everyday lives. Moving chronologically, the first section of the volume explores a variety of the theoretical approaches to British Orientalism. Some of the essays interrogate the concept and survey the ways that Orientalism has been approached in literary and cultural studies. Others historically outline various iterations of Orientalism, from Edward Said's famous exploration of the term in Orientalism to the postcolonial critics who have challenged Saidian Orientalism: Homi Bhabha, Ali Behdad, Ania Loomba, Dennis Porter, James Clifford, and Sara Mills. Some of the essays further construct a critique that attempts to render the field of Orientalism and its representations more dynamic, more capable of producing a critical model that explains the complex interchanges between Orient and Occident. Diane Long Hoeveler is professor of English at Marquette University. Jeffrey Cass is Associate Provost of Texas A\u0026amp;M International University.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51251496452369,"sku":"NIN9780814253274","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52539685437713,"sku":"NLS9780814253274","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/081425327X.jpg?v=1751076468"},{"product_id":"gothic-riffs-book-diane-hoeveler-9780814252376","title":"Gothic Riffs","description":"Gothic Riffs: Secularizing the Uncanny in the European Imaginary, 1780 1820 by Diane Long Hoeveler provides the first comprehensive study of what are called collateral gothic genres operas, ballads, chapbooks, dramas, and melodramas that emerged out of the gothic novel tradition founded by Horace Walpole, Matthew Lewis, and Ann Radcliffe. The role of religion and its more popular manifestations, superstition and magic, in the daily lives of Western Europeans were effectively undercut by the forces of secularization that were gaining momentum on every front, particularly by 1800. It is clear, however, that the lower class and the emerging bourgeoisie were loath to discard their traditional beliefs. We can see their search for a sense of transcendent order and spiritual meaning in the continuing popularity of gothic performances that demonstrate that there was more than a residue of a religious calendar still operating in the public performative realm. Because this bourgeois culture could not turn away from God, it chose to be haunted, in its literature and drama, by God s uncanny avatars: priests, corrupt monks, incestuous fathers and uncles. The gothic aesthetic emerged during this period as an ideologically contradictory and complex discourse system; a secularizing of the uncanny; a way of alternately valorizing and at the same time slandering the realms of the supernatural, the sacred, the maternal, and the primitive.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52422612418833,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52422613041425,"sku":"NLS9780814252376","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780814252376.jpg?v=1786136023"},{"product_id":"gothic-ideology-book-diane-hoeveler-9781783160488","title":"The Gothic Ideology","description":"The Gothic Ideology argues that in order to modernize and secularize, the British Protestant imaginary needed an 'other' against which it could define itself as a culture and a nation with distinct boundaries. The 'Gothic ideology' is identified as an intense religious anxiety, produced by the aftershocks of the Protestant reformation, the Catholic Counter-Reformation, and the dynastic upheavals produced by both events in England, Germany, and France, and was played out in hundreds of Gothic texts published throughout Europe between the mid-eighteenth century and 1880. This book is the first to read the Gothic ideology through the historical context of both King Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries and the extensive French anti-clerical and pornographic works that were well-known to Horace Walpole and Matthew Lewis. The book argues that Gothic was thoroughly invested in a crude form of anti-Catholicism that fed lower class prejudices against the passage of a variety of Catholic Relief Acts that had been pending in Parliament since 1788 and finally passed in 1829.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53143098818833,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53143099769105,"sku":"NLS9781783160488","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781783160488.jpg?v=1792498865"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-diane-hoeveler.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
