Papers are sought for a collection of essays / collective volume on =
Orientalism in Latin American culture, literature, and arts. =
"Orientalism" for our purposes is defined as influences and perceptions =
of primarily the Far East, but also the Middle East, in the Latin =
American tradition. The focus should be on literature, arts, cultural =
history, and/or cultural studies. Works on the history of Asian =
migrations and communities, for example, are encouraged to have a =
cultural studies perspective. The same applies to Eastern influences on =
new religious movements in Latin America. Of particular interest are =
topics such as: Eastern influences on Latin American writers like =
Sarduy, Lezama, Borges, Paz, and others; surveys of Orientalism in the =
literature and/or cultural history of particular Latin American =
countries and regions, and in literary/artistic periods or genres; the =
influence of Zen and other Eastern traditions on Latin American thought; =
relations and affinities between Eastern and Amerindian thought; Latin =
American writers and artists of Eastern descent; and others.
