Description

Two-Way Mirrors engages in cross-cultural study-a pursuit inherently both reflective and reflexive, shedding light not only on the object of study but also on the subject conducting the study. The book's leading metaphor is that of the shopwindow, which is at once transparent (allowing a view of the merchandise on display) and reflective (offering an image of the prospective shopper). Eugene Eoyang confronts the topics of globalization, postmodernism, and the other as self bidirectionally, from both an Asian and a Western perspective. He celebrates the continuing development of comparative literature, a discipline particularly well suited to cross-cultural exploration.

Author Biography:

Eugene Eoyang is professor emeritus of comparative literature and of East Asian languages and cultures at Indiana University, Bloomington and professor emeritus of humanities at Lingnan University in Hong Kong.
