Description
Orientalism Versus Occidentalism: Literary and Cultural Imaging Between France and Iran Since the Islamic Revolution by Laetitia Nanquette This book explores how cultural representations and perceptions shape our understanding of 'other' cultures, examining the ways in which Iran is represented in French media as a rogue state and France is portrayed in Iranian media as decadent and imperialist. Laetitia Nanquette analyzes Franco-Iranian relations through the lens of literary traditions, investigating their impact on individual authors and reflecting socio-political realities. By exploring these dynamics, this book sheds light on the complex interactions between Orientalism and Occidentalism. A valuable resource for researchers of Middle Eastern literature and its relationship with Western writings, as well as those studying the cultures of the Middle East, this book offers a nuanced understanding of cultural representation and perception in international relations.
