Can native English speakers help me polish the language of the following thesis?
The foreign images exist both in literary works, such as novels, short stories, diaries, travel essays, and in non-written texts such as various kinds of customs, objects and even artistic crafts. But imagology in the sense of comparative literature mainly focuses on the images in literary works. Daniel-Henri Pageaux defines image as “the general knowledge of a foreign country formed in the process of literaturization and socialization” (Menghua 154). As a matter of fact, image is closely related to the writer’s own idiosyncrasies, the social collective imagination, the culture background and other factors. Thus, “image in the sense of comparative literature is not the copy of the reality. It is reformulated according to the writer’s cultural mode” (Chendun 168). According to imagology, the foreign image formulated by the writer is not the copy of the true foreign image and it is not necessary to prove whether it is true representations of the foreign image or not. What imagology mainly concerns is how and why the image is created and disseminated as well as what social and cultural background lies behind the image. Moreover, the writer’s self-image is often projected on the foreign image and the writer’s needs and desires can also be shown in the foreign image. So imagology concerns not only the image itself but also the interaction between the image and its creator.

Your English is quite good for a non-native speaker, and better than some natives. What I would recommend to you is to not ask poeple on the internet to help you correct every essay you might have to write, but rather to hire a private English tutor (you can get college Engl. majors for reasonable prices) to help you with this - or, to consider taking an advanced English as a second language course, one on your high level of comprehension. Good luck with this. You're doing very well.

If this is your own thesis, try to break it down a bit. It needs some examples to make what you are talking about clearer. If this is someone else's text, I suggest you try some different reading materials.
