Subject Description

This subject examines different ways in which the historical region known first as Christendom, then as Europe, and now as 'the West,' has constructed itself through representations of, and discourses on, foreigners. The relationships between these representational practices and the maintenance of colonial and post colonial domination will be explored. By the end of the subject, students should be able to identify and situate some of the major western discourses on racial, cultural and evolutionary difference.
