Exorcising Translation: Towards an Intercivilizational Turn

A fuller but more cumbersome version of the subtitle would be From Civilizational Spells to an Intercivilizational Turn, says Robinson, and the move toward an intercivilizational turn would ideally exorcise the civilizational spells. He challenges the kind of either-or thinking that binarizes East and West, draws a big line between them, and derogates all apparent crossovers between them to ethnocentric appropriation. His perspectives are Sakai Naoki on translation; the casting of civilizational spells: Nietzsche as precursor, Bloom as Ephebe; and East and West: toward an intercivilizational turn.
