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.

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.

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。

20世纪以来,用东方主义形容西方对东方的研究是有负面意思的,大意是指该研究者抱著十八、十九世纪的欧洲帝国主义态度来理解东方世界,又或是指外来人对东方文化及人文的旧式及带有偏见的理解。

“一个国家是由一个个具体的人构成的,她由这些人创造,并且决定。只有一个国家拥有那些能够寻求真理的人,能够独立思考的人,能够记录真实的人,能够不计利害为这片土地付出的人,能够去捍卫自己宪法权利的人,能够知道世界并不完美但仍不言乏力,不言放弃的人,只有一个国家拥有这样的头脑和灵魂,我们才能说我们为祖国骄傲。只有一个国家能够尊重这样的头脑和灵魂,我们才能说我们有信心让明天更好。”
