Description de l'ouvrage:
This book introduces the term "otherism" and looks at the discourse of otherism and the issue of otherness in South Asian religion, literature and film. It examines cultural questions related to the human condition of being the "other," of the process of "othering" and of the representation of "otherness" and its religious, cultural and ideological implications.
The book applies the perspectives of ideological criticism, theories of hybridity, orientalism, nationalism, and gender and queer studies to gain new insights into the literature, film and culture of South Asia. It looks at the different ways of interpreting "otherness" today. The book goes on to analyze the ideological implications of the creation of "otherness" with regard to religious and cultural identity and the legitimation of power, as well as how the representation of "otherness" reflects the power structures of contemporary societies in South Asia.
Offering a well-thought-out reflection on important cultural questions as well as a deep insight into the study of religion and "otherness" in South Asian literature and film, this book is a pioneering project that is of interest to scholars of South Asian Studies and South Asian religions, literatures and cultures.

Revue de Presse:
"The book brings out yet another way of examining the notion of exclusion, marginalisation, reconfiguration of identities and subjectivities by foregrounding the process of "othersim" as an analytical lens."
Maunaguru Sidharthan, National University of Singapore, Asian Journal of Social Science 43 (2015) 850–852
'...it challenges existing theoretical frameworks to study the ‘other’ to comprehend various representations of ‘otherness’ and ‘othering’ in the South Asian context, highlighting the importance of context-based theoretical frameworks. By focusing our attention on the various representations of the ‘other’, the volume certainly elicits further dialogue and productive debate.'
George Pati, Valparaiso University, Journal of Hindu Studies, Nov 2016, Vol 9, Issue 3
