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.
内容简介

作者简介
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.

在“西方”的知识、制度和政治/经济政策中,长期积累的那种将“东方”假设并建构为异质的、分裂的和“他者化”的思维。在一些激进作品中,东方甚至被认为是西方的对立面;即将所谓的“他们”(表现成“我们”()的反面。对东方主义最具影响力的批评莫过于爱德华·萨义德,他用福柯的话语概念考察了东方主义,并试图阐明权利如何通过话语起作用、权利如何产生认识,以及关于“东方”的认识本身如何表现了社会权利关系。

“我没有刻意选择标志性事件,也没有描绘历史的雄心,在大量的新闻报道里,我只选择了留给我强烈生命印象的人。他们是流淌的,从我心腹深处的石坝上漫溢出来,坚硬的成见和模式被一遍遍冲刷,摇摇欲坠,土崩瓦解。”

萨义德认为,这种建构及论述,与那些国家的真实面貌几乎毫无关系。即使西方人要重新认识东方,他们大都跳不出这种论述的框框。
