Read the Cultural Other

Forms of Otherness in the Discourses of Hong Kong's Decolonization (Language, Power, and Social Process, 14) (Language, Power, and Social Process)

Edición de la obra Read the cultural other

"Read the Cultural Other argues that non-Western discourses cannot be contained in a 'general', 'universal', or 'integrated' model of linguistic communication or discourse, but must be understood from a culturally pluralist perspective. Proceeding from this standpoint, it offers a variety of innovative analyses of China and Hong Kong's discourses on the decolonization of the latter. Drawing on culturally different methods and local cultural context, these studies reveal the discursive complexity, diversity, and forms of otherness of Hong Kong and China."--Jacket.
