Abstract

Des chercheurs, des compositeurs, des sinologues et des musicologues asiatiques et occidentaux s'interrogent sur le dialogue artistique entre Orient et Occident, en particulier dans le domaine de la musique. Depuis la fin du XIXe siècle, la création musicale est enrichie des apports culturels mutuels, puisant son inspiration dans la tradition tout en étant tournée vers la modernité.

Abstract

Through close readings of major poems, this book examines why the second-generation Romantic poets - Byron, Shelley, and Keats - stage so much of their poetry in Eastern or Orientalized settings. It argues that they do so not only to interrogate their own imaginations, but also as a way of criticizing Europe's growing imperialism. For them the Orient is a projection of Europe's own fears and desires. It is therefore a charged setting in which to explore and contest the limits of the age's aesthetics, politics and culture. Being nearly always self-conscious and ironic, the poets' treatment of the Orient becomes itself a twinned criticism of 'Romantic' egotism and the Orientalism practised by earlier generations. The book goes further to claim that poems like Shelley's Revolt of Islam, Byron's 'Eastern' Tales, or even Keats's Lamia anticipate key issues at stake in postcolonial studies more generally.

Abstract

"Information is power. For more than five hundred years the success or failure of nations has been determined by a country's ability to acquire knowledge and technical skill and transform them into strength and prosperity. Leading historian Jeremy Black approaches global history from a distinctive perspective, focusing on the relationship between information and society and demonstrating how the understanding and use of information have been the primary factors in the development and character of the modern age. Black suggests that the West's ascension was a direct result of its institutions and social practices for acquiring, employing, and retaining information and the technology that was ultimately produced. His cogent and well-reasoned analysis looks at cartography and the hardware of communication, armaments and sea power, mercantilism and imperialism, science and astronomy, as well as bureaucracy and the management of information, linking the history of technology with the history of global power while providing important indicators for the future of our world"--

Abstract

"De tous les domaines où se concrétise la rencontre entre l'Orient et l'Occident, celui de l'expression artistique est sans doute celui qui génère le plus de surprise, d'étonnement, de malentendus, d'incompréhensions. Or, parallèlement à une découverte qui s'intensifie et s'approfondit, un certain nombre de transferts reprises, réinterprétation, intégration ... semblent pourtant s'effectuer, dans un sens comme dans l'autre. On peut songer ici aussi bien au japonisme de la fin du 19e siècle, qu'à l'impact du Père Castiglione à la cour des Qing au 18e siècle ou à de multiples autres cas de traduction, transposition, adaptation, utilisation. C'est à ce phénomène très spécifique que deux colloques de l'Espace Asie de Louvain-la-Neuve ont été consacrés en novembre 2012 et novembre 2013. Les différentes contributions à ce volume visent dès lors, dans leurs domaines spécifiques, à permettre de mieux cerner les mécanismes sous-jacents par lesquels les différentes cultures impliquées (di)gèrent les influences artistiques et à mieux comprendre le fonctionnement des cultures elles-mêmes."

Abstract

The 'War on Terror' gave rise to stark visions of a Christian West battling a mad mullah from the East over nothing less than the fate of civilization. These baldly Orientalist constructions are only the latest incarnation of an older, deeper relationship between Orientalism and war, one that can be traced as far back as the Greek and Persian wars of antiquity. This volume examines the Orientalist constructs that arise from conflict and military intervention in the non-European world.

Abstract

This volume presents a history of the idea of the 'Clash of Civilisations' with particular reference to the myth of an inevitable confrontation between Islam and the West. It delves into history all the way back to the wars between Persia and Greece, the Crusades, Colonialism and the Enlightenment and brings this analysis forward to the contemporary 'war on terror'.

Abstract

"A multidisciplinary study of Western-Muslim interactions in historical and contemporary times, this volume explores ways of enhancing productive engagement in domestic and transnational contexts. Leading scholars discuss Western-Muslim intersections in the areas of civil society, educational curriculum, government policy, legal reform, media production, political participation, public discourse, and public opinion. This book appears at a time when Western forces are withdrawing from Afghanistan and policymakers are exploring the viability of long-term approaches that go beyond securitization and militarization. Engaging the Other will appeal to readers specifically interested in policy issues relating to conflict, culture, diaspora, education, immigration, inter-faith dialogue, intercultural and international relations, Islam and the West, law, media, multiculturalism, national security, political participation, public discourse, public policy, and religion"--

Abstract

"In Islam Through Western Eyes, Jonathan Lyons unpacks Western habits of thinking and writing about Islam, conducting a careful analysis of the West's grand totalizing narrative across one thousand years of history. He observes the discourse's corrosive effects on the social sciences, including sociology, politics, philosophy, theology, international relations, security studies, and human rights scholarship. He follows its influence on research, speeches, political strategy, and government policy, preventing the West from responding effectively to its most significant twenty-first-century challenges: the rise of Islamic power, the emergence of religious violence, and the growing tension between established social values and multicultural rights among Muslim immigrant populations."--Jacket.
