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.

编辑本段流行原因当今全球性旧殖民制度虽已基本结束,通过武力进行领土征服的殖民主义活动已经停止,但是通过文化霸权在思想上征服第三世界以攫取资源,进行经济、政治、文化和意识形态等方面的奴役的后殖民活动却有增无减,新的“殖民主义者”通过文化霸权牢牢地统治着东方(第三世界),奴役着东方人。

东方学,Said名著。读原文需较高的英文程度,夹杂很多法文(因为引用了不少法文资料),语言方面就觉得挺难的,内容的理解更不容易。
