Beyond orientalism : essays on cross-cultural encounter / Fred Dallmayr. - Albany : State University of New York Press, c1996. - xxii, 277 pages ; 24 cm.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [223]-268) and index.
Beyond Orientalism explores the confluence of contemporary Western (especially Continental) philosophy, with its focus on otherness and difference, and the ongoing process of globalization or the emergence of the "global village." The basic question raised in the book is: What will be the prevailing life-form or discourse of the global village? Will it be the discourse of Western science, industry, and metaphysics which, under the banner of modernization and development, seeks to homogenize the world in its image? In Said's work, this strategy was labeled "Orientalism." Or will it be possible to move "beyond Orientalism" in the direction neither of global uniformity nor radical fragmentation?
