Postmodernism Orientalism and globalization

A brief about the book Orientalism Postmodernism and Globalization - Brian Turner: Turner offers a sociological critical analysis of the complex relationship between Orientalism and postmodern thought and globalization. He discusses how the West shaped the image of "the East" as the fixed other, and links this to intellectual shifts that reconsidered concepts of identity and culture. He sees that Orientalism did not disappear, but reproduced itself under globalization, through new forms of cultural and cognitive dominance. The book calls for overcoming simplification in understanding the relations between the East and the West, acknowledging the intertwining of political, economic, and cognitive factors.
