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
The noted critic and a Palestinian now teaching at Columbia University,examines the way in which the West observes the Arabs.
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.

闾丘露薇在书里面写到说希望大家以后提起她不再是说那个深入战场的勇敢的记者,而是因为她的专业而记住她。柴静同样做到了,从那个文艺的午夜情感热线主播转型为报道复杂中国的记者,在央视这么多年坚守着传承着新闻评论部的灵魂,全英文采访魔鬼卡梅隆,她一直都在成长。是的,你能从这本书里看到她对于采访的总结,感悟,看她说好多年了她才学会该怎么说话,“感觉和知道是两回事儿”,“真实的人性有无限的可能”,“理解的基础是感受。人能感受别人的时候,心就变软了,软不是脆弱,是韧性”。媒体的责任是提供光,照亮黑暗的地方,而不是提供热。她在十年新闻生涯中感受到的也是给现在的新闻从业者们上了一堂课,怎样平和的去接近最真的真实,怎样在冲突中找到平衡,怎样突破自己的模式和偏见去报道,跟自由比独立更重要,“给你们自由而不独立,仍是奴隶。”跟在办公室上上网打打电话复制黏贴下材料就能写出稿子为记工分的记者比,她是脚踏实地的踩在这片土地上,走到采访对象的世界里,面对面的去了解。在这个时代真是难能可贵。

萨义德认为,东方主义属于西方建构产物,旨在为东西建立一个明显的分野,从而突出西方文化的优越性;而在法国和英国要让东方国家如阿尔及利亚﹑埃及﹑印度成为殖民地的时候,这种思想形态便在政治上有利用价值。

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。

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。
