Abstract:

A ground-breaking work, Read the Cultural Other argues that non-Westerndiscourses cannot be contained in a 'general', 'universal', or 'integrated'model of linguistic communication or discourse, but must be understood froma culturally pluralist perspective. Proceeding from this standpoint, itoffers a variety of innovative analyses of China and Hong Kong's discourseson the decolonization of the latter. Drawing on culturally differentmethods and local cultural context, these studies reveal the discursivecomplexity, diversity, and forms of otherness of Hong Kong and China.

KEY FEATURES- Takes a comprehensive look at China and Hong Kong's non-Western discourses.- Now available as an affordable paperback.- Of interest to Teachers, Researchers, and Graduate Students in Discourse,Communication, and Media Studies.
