The theme is the way in which intellectual traditions are created and trans-mitted... Orientalism is the example Mr. Said uses, and by it he means something precise. The scholar who studies the Orient (and specifically the Muslim Orient), the imaginitive writer who takes it as his subject, and the institutions which have been concerned with teaching it, settling it, ruling it, all have a certain representation or idea of the Orient defined as being other than the Occident, mysterious, unchanging and ultimately inferior.
內容簡介
The noted critic and a Palestinian now teaching at Columbia University,examines the way in which the West observes the Arabs.
作者簡介
Said was an influential cultural critic and author, known best for his book Orientalism (1978), which catapulted him to international academic fame. The book presented his influential ideas on Orientalism, the Western study of Eastern cultures. Said contended that Orientalist scholarship was and continues to be inextricably tied to the imperialist societies that produced it, making much of the work inherently politicized, servile to power, and therefore suspect.
Grounding much of this thesis in his intimate knowledge of colonial literature such as the fiction of Conrad, and in the post-structuralist theory of Foucault, Derrida and others, Said's Orientalism and following works proved influential in literary theory and criticism, and continue to influence several other fields in the humanities. Orientalism affected Middle Eastern studies in particular, transforming the way practitioners of the discipline describe and examine the Middle East. Said came to discuss and vigorously debate the issue of Orientalism with scholars in the fields of history and area studies, many of whom disagreed with his thesis, including most famously Bernard Lewis.

“我沒有刻意選擇標誌性事件,也沒有描繪曆史的雄心,在大量的新聞報道裏,我隻選擇瞭留給我強烈生命印象的人。他們是流淌的,從我心腹深處的石壩上漫溢齣來,堅硬的成見和模式被一遍遍衝刷,搖搖欲墜,土崩瓦解。”

在“西方”的知識、製度和政治/經濟政策中,長期積纍的那種將“東方”假設並建構為異質的、分裂的和“他者化”的思維。在一些激進作品中,東方甚至被認為是西方的對立麵;即將所謂的“他們”(錶現成“我們”()的反麵。對東方主義最具影響力的批評莫過於愛德華·薩義德,他用福柯的話語概念考察瞭東方主義,並試圖闡明權利如何通過話語起作用、權利如何産生認識,以及關於“東方”的認識本身如何錶現瞭社會權利關係。

1. 敵視():專注於他者的威脅性和可憎性(如暴君、原教旨主義、恐怖主義等,東方男性成為墮落無恥且被妖魔化的對象)。

近古以前歐洲人所說的東方主義中的東方,指亞洲等地,包括歐洲人所指的近東、中東、遠東地區,甚至包括俄羅斯和原來的東羅馬帝國。中國稱東方文化圈則指以中國為代錶的東亞文化圈。而在當代英語中,東方(Oriental)一詞狹義上也主要指以中國為代錶的東亞文化地區,不包括印度、西亞等地區,比以前所指的範圍小。
