Summary

The groundbreaking concept of "Orientalism" refers to a discursive power structure devised "for dominating, restructuring and having authority over the Orient". Orientalism was Europe's strategy of acknowledging the East as its alluring and exotic, yet dangerous and mysterious "Other." Re-Orientalism maintains the divide between Occident and Orient. However, where Orientalism is based on how the West constructs the East, re-Orientalism is grounded on how the cultural East (which can be spatially located in the West) comes to terms with an orientalised East.This volume explores various new forms, objects and modes of circulation that sustain this renovated form of Orientalism in South Asian culture. The contributors identify and engage with pressing recent debates about postcolonial South Asian identity politics, discussing a range of different texts and films such as The White Tiger , Bride & Prejudice and Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love .Providing new theoretical insights from the areas of literature, film studies and cultural and discourse analysis, this book is an stimulating read for students and scholars interested in South Asian culture, postcolonial studies and identity politics.
