Humanities, AAPI Question
Description
Scholar David S. Roh defines techno-Orientalism as “imagining Asia and Asians in hypo- or hyper-technological terms in literary, cinematic, and new media representations.” “To judge from many speculative fiction films and books, from Blade Runner to Cloud Atlas,” he explains, “the future will be full of cities that resemble Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Shanghai, and it will be populated mainly by cold, unfeeling citizens who act like robots.”
Based on our discussions and readings this week, give another example of techno-Orientalism and explain why such a vision may be harmful to actual AAPI persons.
