Produktinformationen zu „Avant-garde Orientalism / Progress in Mathematics (PDF)“

This study explores the work of Western avant-garde writers who traveled to and wrote about Asia and North Africa. Though exoticist in outlook, many of these writers were also anti-colonialist and thus avoided some of the pitfalls of academic orientalism by assuming an aesthetics of diversity while employing strategies of provocation and reciprocity. As a survey of works on travel (including essays, novels, poems, and plays), the book challenges or modifies many postcolonial assumptions about Western writers on the Orient: from the French Surrealists to the American Beats and even transnational authors of the new millennium. Through a synthesis of avant-garde, postcolonial, and travel literature theories, Avant-garde Orientalism works in the best tradition of comparative literary study to identify and analyze a distinct category of world literature.

Pressezitat

“Sweet recognizes that ‘avant-garde principles of formal innovation … reinforce traditional orientalist discursive practice while also, at crucial moments, radically altering it’ (2). Thus, Sweet is not trying to replace critical readings with positive ones but rather to recuperate visions of radical acceptance within moments that also reassert stereotypes.” (Kyle Garton-Gundling’s, ALH Online Review, May, 2018)
“Sweet concludes his monograph by arguing how avant-garde orientalism is a type of World Literature that differs from other orientalist literatures through its ‘alternating strategies of aggression and reciprocity’ as well as its ‘genuine commitment to alterity, the alterity of an imaginary, participatory future … .” (Joey S. Kim, Postcolonial Studies, February, 2018)
