A Semantic Shield

A kind of cultural sensitivity, that strengthens discovery; a space for identity and history. It’s a style of thought, chosen to highlight its core; A lengthy discourse that acts and synthesizes. Significant efforts that deal with elements of change. It’s a trend to implicitness that evolves on the Asian heartland. Discoveries and re-discoveries about Asianness or Orientalism, its nature and institutional sense has its roots to share; a wealth of faith. Features of the colonial past reflect the emergence and growth of that conventional wisdom; At the same time, a reaction – to sensitivty and understanding. It’s an important element to draw and carry out integration anew; with other cultures or global forces in developing nations; a relationship a blend of strength, a sharing of gifts. Asia seeks and grapples with a great deal of systems; In a world market swamped with Eurocentric mindsets, a challenge- a reinforcement that has its semantic shield, that defends otherness and people with differences.
