Click here ☆ Brief summary of Said's interview on " Orientalism " :
☆ Introduction about Edward Said :
Said’s major studies have made a major contribution to breaking down the assumption that the aesthetic is a realm of autonomous values by demonstrating literature’s complex affiliations with European colonialism and Western imperialism. Yet Said is also renowned for developing a vocabulary enabling us to theorize the ethos of the critic and the proper vocation of the intellectual. Said insists that critics are humanists engaged in worldly struggles, expressing solidarity with the oppressed, and furthering the project of human emancipation. His fierce but by no means uncritical advocacy of the Palestinian cause in historical and theoretical studies and more topical commentaries and journalism exemplified the commitments he idealized. His corpus encompasses nine important theoretical studies, numerous books, articles, and opinion pieces dedicated to the history and politics of the Palestinian and Arab–Israeli conflict and representations of Islam and the Middle East in Western media and scholarship. He was one of the most prominent analysts of the Oslo peace process and Palestinian politics under the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) while striving to encourage dialogue between Palestinians/Arabs and Israel. His work has generated a prolific response from academics and commentators in fields such as postcolonial studies and histories of imperialism, literary criticism and studies of the novel, theories of the intellectual, Israel/Palestine and Middle Eastern studies, feminist studies of Orientalism and gender studies more broadly, and regional area studies including the Balkans and Greece. The particular inflections he has given an ensemble of concepts such as humanism, secularism, and philology has increasingly become the focus of separate studies of his work. His work remains important in a world in which globalization and theories of neo-imperialism remain vital contexts in which to understand the relationship between aesthetic, critical, and economic spheres of activity.

☆ What is Orientalism?
"Orientalism” is a way of seeing that imagines, emphasizes, exaggerates and distorts differences of Arab peoples and cultures as compared to that of Europe and the U.S. It often involves seeing Arab culture as exotic, backward, uncivilized, and at times dangerous. Edward W. Said, in his groundbreaking book, Orientalism, defined it as the acceptance in the West of “the basic distinction between East and West as the starting point for elaborate theories, epics, novels, social descriptions, and political accounts concerning the Orient, its people, customs, ‘mind,’ destiny and so on.”
According to Said, Orientalism dates from the period of European Enlightenment and colonization of the Arab World. Orientalism provided a rationalization for European colonialism based on a self-serving history in which “the West” constructed “the East”as extremely different and inferior, and therefore in need of Western intervention or “rescue”.
