Virtual Orientalism: Asian Religions and American Popular Culture
Iwamura, Jane (Assistant Professor of Religion and of American Studies and Ethnicity, Assistant Professor of Religion and of American Studies and Ethnicity, University of Southern California)
Jane Iwamura examines contemporary fascination with Eastern spirituality and provides a cultural history of the representation of Asian religions in American mass media. At the heart of her study is the Oriental Monk, a non-sexual, solitary, conventionalized icon who generously and purposefully shares his wisdom with the West.
