    krytyka ze strony

    Al-Azm objected that Said, by tracing Orientalism back to Homer and Aeschylus, made it an unchanging essence of the West, and that those who answered it with an unchanging Islamic or Arab essence practised Orientalism in reverse.

Stanowisko

In Orientalism Said examined how European scholarship, literature and politics since the eighteenth century created an image of “the Orient” as exotic, irrational, unchanging and in need of guidance – the counter-image against which the West defined itself as rational and progressive. Drawing on Foucault’s analysis of discourse and power and on Gramsci’s concept of hegemony, he argued that this knowledge was not innocent but bound up with colonial domination. In Culture and Imperialism he extended the analysis to the great novels of the nineteenth century and proposed a “contrapuntal” reading that brings out the colonial world hidden in them. Said became one of the founders of postcolonial studies, and his work still provokes debate.

Życie i kontekst

Said was born in Jerusalem in 1935 into a Palestinian Christian family and grew up partly in Cairo. He studied at Princeton and Harvard and taught English and comparative literature at Columbia University in New York from 1963 until his death. A prominent advocate of Palestinian rights, he co-founded the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra with Daniel Barenboim. He died in 2003.
