Therefore, Orientalism is not a mere poli\u00adti\u00adcal sub\u00adject mat\u00adter or field that is reflec\u00adted pas\u00adsi\u00adve\u00adly by culture, scho\u00adlar\u00adship, or ins\u00adti\u00adtu\u00adtions ; nor is it a large and dif\u00adfuse col\u00adlec\u00adtion of texts about the Orient ; nor is it repre\u00adsen\u00adta\u00adtive and expres\u00adsive of some nefa\u00adrious \u201cWestern\u201d impe\u00adria\u00adlist plot to hold down the \u201cOriental\u201d world. It is rather a dis\u00adtri\u00adbu\u00adtion<\/em> of geo\u00adpo\u00adli\u00adti\u00adcal awa\u00adre\u00adness into aes\u00adthe\u00adtic, scho\u00adlar\u00adly, eco\u00adno\u00admic, socio\u00adlo\u00adgi\u00adcal, his\u00adto\u00adri\u00adcal, and phi\u00adlo\u00adlo\u00adgi\u00adcal texts ; it is an ela\u00adbo\u00adra\u00adtion<\/em> not only of a basic geo\u00adgra\u00adphi\u00adcal dis\u00adtinc\u00adtion (the world is made up of two une\u00adqual halves, Orient and Occident) but also of a whole series of \u201cinter\u00adests\u201d which, by such means as scho\u00adlar\u00adly dis\u00adco\u00adve\u00adry, phi\u00adlo\u00adlo\u00adgi\u00adcal recons\u00adtruc\u00adtion, psy\u00adcho\u00adlo\u00adgi\u00adcal ana\u00adly\u00adsis, land\u00adscape and socio\u00adlo\u00adgi\u00adcal des\u00adcrip\u00adtion, it not only creates but also main\u00adtains ; it is<\/em>, rather than expresses, a cer\u00adtain will<\/em> or inten\u00adtion<\/em> to unders\u00adtand, in some cases to control, mani\u00adpu\u00adlate, even to incor\u00adpo\u00adrate, what is a mani\u00adfest\u00adly dif\u00adferent (or alter\u00adna\u00adtive and novel) world ; it is, above all, a dis\u00adcourse that is by no means in direct, cor\u00adres\u00adpon\u00adding rela\u00adtion\u00adship with poli\u00adti\u00adcal power in the raw, but rather is pro\u00addu\u00adced and exists in an une\u00adven exchange with various kinds of power, sha\u00adped to a degree by the exchange with power poli\u00adti\u00adcal (as with a colo\u00adnial or impe\u00adrial esta\u00adblish\u00adment), power intel\u00adlec\u00adtual (as with rei\u00adgning sciences like com\u00adpa\u00adra\u00adtive lin\u00adguis\u00adtics or ana\u00adto\u00admy, or any of the modern poli\u00adcy sciences), power cultu\u00adral (as with ortho\u00addoxies and canons of taste, texts, values), power moral (as with ideas about what \u201cwe\u201d do and what \u201cthey\u201d can\u00adnot do or unders\u00adtand as \u201cwe\u201d do). Indeed, my real argu\u00adment is that Orientalism is\u2014and does not sim\u00adply represent\u2014a consi\u00adde\u00adrable dimen\u00adsion of modern poli\u00adti\u00adcal-intel\u00adlec\u00adtual culture, and as such has less to do with the Orient than it does with \u201cour\u201d world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
