Abstract
The essays in this book embark upon a collective critique of a single concept, which is alterity or, as frequently stated, yoking definiteness with indefiniteness – ‘the other’. The book is divided into two main parts: perspectives in history and models of relationship. The topics discussed range from cross-cultural discourse to the translation of biblical poets.
