Introduction to Orientalism by Edward Said

In the introduction of the word "orientalism", Edward Said initially explained that French writers wrote the contemporary eastern views to express the main common misunderstandings of the West. According to Saeed, this misunderstanding lies in the hearts of Westerners, as if the East itself is not affected by society. Since then he was rooted in Western consciousness, he then continued to describe the foundation of orientalism. Saeed uses the phrase "other" to explain the attraction to the east side of the west side.

Orientalism of Edward Side is concerned about how the West sees the east side (hereinafter referred to as the east side) with some degree of inferiority and contempt. This article explores whether Oriental lenses can be used by people in the East. This is possible, but the answer is far more complicated. I assert that someone can come not only from the east, but also an oriental person. I will describe in more detail the range of dangers to this region of Toyo Orientalism as well as orientalism from the West.

An important and controversial study by Edward Said, published in 1978, initially redefined the term "East-related scholarship (or eastern language and cultural knowledge)". Emphasizing the understanding of the Western "Orient", "This is a vague term in itself, relying on shaping the image of the Orient to" another ", thereby promoting its colonization and conquest There. Since orientalism is an Oriental Western study (and definition), the center of emergence must be understood in the context of colonialism and imperialism's world history.

Contents: In "Orientalism" written by Edward Saeed, he believes that Orientalism is a product of incorrect interpretation of the Middle East from Western culture. Edward Said wrote three different definitions of orientalism in his work. First, "today's experts do not like orientalism because it means ambiguous and too general, as it means the attitude of high-pressure management of European colonialism from the 19th century to the early 20th century" (Syed It is 2). This definition means that the Caucasus Europeans go back to their hometown to go to the third world countries to learn different cultures and teach them what they have learned. Because they think that Europe is a standard, these people think that people in these third world countries are "outsiders".
