Defining Orients as neither subjects nor objects but realities that emerge through translational acts, Timothy Weiss argues that all interpretation can be viewed as translations that contain utopian as well as ideological aspects. The translational approach to literary and cultural interpretations adds depth to Weiss's analysis of works by Jorge Luis Borges, Paul Bowles, V.S. Naipaul, Salman Rushdie, and Kazua Ishiguro, among others. Weiss examines texts that reference Asian, North African, or Middle Eastern societies and their imaginaries, and, equally important, engage questions of individual and communal identity that issue from transformative encounters. Interpretation is thus viewed as an act that orients, mapping the world not in the sense of delineating a pre-given form, location, or order, but rather as a charting of its emergence and possibilities. In addressing the principal challenges of contemporary critical thinking, fundamentalism, and groundlessness, Weiss puts forward new concepts of identity and citizenship in the reinterpretation of Orientalism. 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aOriental literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 607 $aOrient$xIn literature 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aOriental literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a820.9 700 $aWeiss$b Timothy$f1949-$01697432 701 $aRobson$b Ann P$g(Ann Provost),$f1931-$0125736 701 $aRobson$b John M$0118380 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828185203321 996 $aTranslating Orients$94078128 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00798nam a2200229 i 4500 001 991004363820307536 005 20250130120122.0 008 250130s1980 it er 000 0 ita d 040 $aBibl.
