Early Encounters Between East Asia and Europe: Telling Failures
ISBN: 9781472481672 / Angielski / Twarda / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Countering a tendency in scholarship to overlook unsuccessful encounters, it starts from the assumption that failures can prove highly illuminating and provide valuable insights into both the specific shapes and limitations of East Asian and Western imaginations of the Other, as well as of the nature of East-West interaction. Interdisciplinary in outlook, this...
