Re-Orientalism theory has grown exponentially in the 21st century, and developed a discourse of its own, as well as novel, strategic processes and practices. It takes a leaf out of Orientalism as practiced by the West, but builds upon Orientalist frameworks and narrative devices. This study focuses on different and novel forms of re-Orientalism strategies currently being deployed in social realism fiction, such as the increasing use of unreliable narrator, reverse Orientalism, and the role of whimsy, as well as re-Orientalism in the depiction of urban India. This book also looks at the commodification enabled by re-Orientalism within the publishing industry, in India and in the West, and how the deployment of such impacts upon the representation and understanding of contemporary Indian identity, culture, and literature"-- Provided by publisher. 505 8 $a Introducing Re-Orientalism Theory and Discourse in Indian Writing in English -- The Re-orientalising Strategy of the Unreliable Narrator -- "Reverse Orientalism" and Whimsy -- Urban India Re-Orientalised -- Indian writing in English : Commodification and Re-Orientalism -- Conclusion. 650 0 $a Indic literature (English) $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Orientalism in literature. 650 0 $a Postcolonialism in literature. 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / Asian / Indic. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Literatur. $0 (DE-588)4035964-5 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Englisch. $0 (DE-588)4014777-0 $2 gnd 650 7 $a IdentitaÌtsfindung. $0 (DE-588)4333652-8 $2 gnd 651 7 $a Indien. $0 (DE-588)4026722-2 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Indic literature (English) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00970156 650 7 $a Orientalism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01048143 650 7 $a Postcolonialism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01073035 648 7 $a 2000 - 2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 $a Dwivedi, O.
