Alterity




It is used also in anthropology by scholars such as Nicholas Dirks , Johannes Fabian, Michael Taussig and Pauline Turner Strong to refer to the construction of cultural others.

It has also been used in seemingly somewhat remote disciplines, e. g. historical musicology where it is effectively employed by John Michael Cooper in a study of Goethe and Mendelssohn.
