It seeks to show how these structures eventually end up in a specific form of encounter between Western (that is, rooted in Greco-Roman) civilisation and Oriental (that is, rooted in ancient Asian and African) civilisations. This specific encounter leads to a world-system based on hierarchy and domination, a system of Western hegemony that seeks to re-structure the Asian and African civilisations in its own image, and calls it \u2018Modernisation\u2019, which is but a euphemism for the advent and ascent of Western capitalism in the East and the so-called \u2018Global South\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The course will advance with a greater emphasis on mythological and literary narratives, rather than anthropological\/sociological\/historical texts, since its primary focus will be on depicting the cultural atmosphere created around the so-called \u2018Orient\u2019. The main question that will be put forward is how it is constructed in the Western, as well as in the Eastern, mind, as a series of images, symbols, and narratives, which forms an edifice of the \u2018Orient\u2019 which will later be used to justify, willingly or not, the advance of Western\/capitalist domination in the coming world-system.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container
