To judge from many speculative fiction films and books, from Blade Runner to Cloud Atlas, the future will be full of cities that resemble Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Shanghai, and it will be populated mainly by cold, unfeeling citizens who act like robots. Techno-Orientalism investigates the phenomenon of imagining Asia and Asians in hypo- or hyper-technological terms in literary, cinematic, and new media representations, while critically examining the stereotype of Asians as both technologically advanced and intellectually primitive, in dire need of Western consciousness-raising. The collection's fourteen original essays trace the discourse of techno-orientalism across a wide array of media, from radio serials to cyberpunk novels, from Sax Rohmer's Dr. Fu Manchu to Firefly. Applying a variety of theoretical, historical, and interpretive approaches, the contributors consider techno-orientalism a truly global phenomenon. In part, they tackle the key question of how these stereotypes serve to both express and assuage Western anxieties about Asia's growing cultural influence and economic dominance. Yet the book also examines artists who have appropriated techno-orientalist tropes in order to critique racist and imperialist attitudes. Techno-Orientalism is the first collection to define and critically analyze a phenomenon that pervades both science fiction and real-world news coverage of Asia. With essays on subjects ranging from wartime rhetoric of race and technology to science fiction by contemporary Asian American writers to the cultural implications of Korean gamers, this volume offers innovative perspectives and broadens conventional discussions in Asian American Cultural studies. 410 0$aAsian American studies today. 606 $aScience fiction$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAsians in literature 606 $aAsians in motion pictures 606 $aAsians in mass media 606 $aTechnology in literature 607 $aAsia$xIn literature 615 0$aScience fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAsians in literature. 615 0$aAsians in motion pictures. 615 0$aAsians in mass media. 615 0$aTechnology in literature. 676 $a809.3/8762 702 $aRoh$b David S.$f1978- 702 $aHuang$b Betsy$f1966- 702 $aNiu$b Greta A.$f1969- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819626503321 996 $aTechno-Orientalism$93988463 997 $aUNINA
