east-west, the imaginary divide

Release date : 10/02/2005

Going back to the 19th Century, Corm explains how the clichés of a mystical East - archaic and irrational - and those of the materialistic West - rationalist and individualist-, were born. An incisive, historic essay that puts and end to such ideological representations, essentially religious, that are evoked to explain the events of September 11, and other contemporary issues, as being due to a "clash of civilisations".
