When the term "Orient" is mentioned in an international context, the cultures of the region are still framed in the discourse of "Orientalism" from a Western perspective, pushed to the periphery of world culture, passively being understood, analyzed, and reproduced.
於是當現今國際上提到「東方」一詞時，我們仍然被框在西方視角下的「東方主義」論說裡，變成世界文化印象的邊陲地帶，被認知、辨析與重組。
