Thinking Activity- 'Orientalism' byEdward Said

 




                 What is Orientalism:

                                 As per Said's words. Orientalism is not imagined it is a material thing and genuine theory. Orientalism has revolutionized the study of the Middle East and also useful to studies post-colonialism and other disciplines like History, Anthropology, Political science, and Cultural studies.

 









·                                    Tries  to give the real history :

 

        When we read the introduction at that time we find that he felt dislike about the representation of Arab and from that he got inspired to write real history. Because Arabs were represented as rigid people. But by giving the example of the Arab-Israeli war of 1973 he has tried to prove his point. And another thing is how the outer person's notion remains wrong about his own land that he tries to convince by giving the references of Ang and Gerome.

 

·                                     Predictable :

 

      In this context, we can say that how western countries see the middle east. They have already been conceived their mindset by describing the east as a terrorist group.

 

·                                   Imperialism and policy

Edward Said explained vivid objectives & policies of America, Europe, and France country in front of their Community. He added that the French didn't give rights of citizens like Spaniard invaded the new world but its opposite side Nepolian invaded Egypt for the survey of Egypt while Europe created a new world looking through policy.
