alteritism
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Etymology: Coined by Sara Suleri Goodyear, from alterity + -ism
Senses: examples: text: While alteritism begins as a critical and theoretical revision of a Eurocentric or Orientalist study of the literatures of colonialism, its indiscriminate reliance on the centrality of otherness tends to replicate what in the context of imperialist discourse was the familiar category of the exotic.
ref: 1992, Sara Suleri Goodyear, The Rhetoric of English India, University of Chicago Press, page 12:
text: 1994/1995 Amina Jamal, "Identity, Community and the Post-colonial Experience of Migrancy", Resources for Feminist Research, vol. 23, no. 4.
Suleri, for instance, points to the danger of conceptualizing alteritism, as colonial discourse has done and continues to do, in a manner where difference is reified and otherness becomes "simply a conceptual vessel for the anxiety that overtakes quests for origins" ...
text: What Ahmad calls Jameson's 'rhetoric of otherness', Suleri terms his 'alteritism'.
ref: 2004, Neil Lazarus, “Fredric Jameson on 'Third-World Literature': A Qualified Defence”, in Sean Homer, Douglas Kellner, Palgrave Macmillan, editors, Fredric Jameson: A Critical Reader, page 50:
glosses: An approach in postcolonial literary criticism that seeks to bypass orientalist or Eurocentric perspectives but, in foregrounding otherness, reproduces colonial ideas of the exotic.

Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: hoguines
Etymology: From French hoguine (or a Middle or Old French predecessor), which by the mid-1600s denoted a culet. In earlier French texts the term denoted armor for the arms, thighs and/or lower legs; compare the Scots borrowing hogingis (1541), which the Dictionary of the Older Scottish Tongue defines as "pieces of armour covering the arms, thighs and legs".
Of uncertain origin; compare Old French hoguette (“small barrel”), hoguinele, and French hoguiner (“annoy, torment, molest; thwart”); the FEW connects hoguine, hoguiner and houguette to Old Norse haugr (“hill”), but this is unconvincing from a semantic point of view.

Others made ready bows, slings, crossbows, pellets, catapults, migrains or fire-balls, firebrands,
