Orientalism

In Said’s text we get an introduction to a huge concept in which we take the “Orient” as an ideological perspective. Said argues that Orientalisim is an idea that goes along with historical events, but at the same time constructs a set of thinking that has been presentment through a constant relationship between the Europe and the Orient, (now basically instituted by great powers such as Japan and China). Said makes obvious enfaces in the significant importance that the eighteen century oriental colonies came to symbolize in the development of European’s culture langue and writings. He also uses these ideas of “Hegemony” and politics, where Western ideas had always an upper hand from those in the Orient; a factor, which he details through out his introduction, contributed to the post- renascence European ascendancy.
