We look at the place of theory and criticism in the study of `Asia' in the academy today. We engage in topics such as the construction of `literature', literary traditions, and national cultures in a comparative context; articulations of internationalism and cosmopolitanism as counter-discourses; recent debates on nationalism and modernity, cultural studies, gender studies, translation and travel, and the proliferation of `post-' studies (postmodern, post-colonial, post-ethnic) as they pertain to our research and writing.

Examines the representation of "self" and "other" in two literatures foundational to Western culture, Classical Greek and Biblical Hebrew. The premise is the necessity of an "other" in order to define the "self." Starts with "Athens" and "Jerusalem" as emblematic of the self/other polarity that the West drew out of these literatures. Then explores in them other manifestations of self and other: group identity and group origins, woman and deity as other, the development of heroic selfhood, and the emergence of self-knowledge. Emphasizes throughout how poetic and narrative forms both shape and are shaped by visions of self and other.
