Description
They cannot represent themselves; they must be represented." Three times Edward W. Said quotes this sentence in his Orientalism from Marx's "The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte". Said surveys the Orientalism from the eighteenth until the mid-twentieth century, probes into how the English, French and American academies constructed, produced discourses (history, philology, literature, anthropology, politics, travel books, etc.) on images, ideas, customs, and so on, of "the Orient"--mainly the Mid-East Arabic world, India, and Egypt; how "they", the Orientals were "represented". Said deconstructs and criticizes the ideological patterns structures, production economy, and rhetoric strategies of these discourses. Said achieves the decoding of Orientalism as "insensitive schematization of the entire Orient" (Edward W. Said, 1978, p.68); European culture, by certain "enormously systematic discipline", got empowered "to manage--and even produce--the Orient politically, sociologically, militarily, ideologically, scientifically, and imaginatively" throughout the period of post-Enlightenment. The used-to-be-universal-truth Orientalism was but "a British and French cultural enterprise, a [cultural] project"; what passed for universal truths about the Orient yet now proves to be merely culturally specific (and therefore historically relative) constructions, to be an Orientalist canon: "the Orient was created ... Orientalized". (Ibid, pp.3-5) What "was" the Orient?
