as a result 0f which is typically grouped in the west.
Eastern culture has developed many themes and traditions.

6. ORIENTALISM
Orientalism is a term, the representation of Asia in a
stereotyped and way that is regarded as embodying a
colonialist attitude. It is a way of seeing that imagines,
emphasizes, exaggerates and distorts differences of Arab
culture.
Examples of early orientalism can be seen in European
paintings and photographs and also in images from the
world’s fair in the U.S. in the 19th and early 2oth century.

7. Edward’s view…
Edward Said expresses in Orientalism is founded upon his
three point definition of his concept of Orientalism, an
academic field within multiple disciplines. A conception of
reality based on the binary form of “Occidental” opposing
“Oriental”.

8. Four arguments said make’s expressing:-
1.Accumulating and analyzing present day evidence of
the cultures and psychologies of the oriental east rather
than emphasizing past historical Oriental eras.
2.Dispelling the doctrine that Orientals are sociologically
unworthy of scholarly recognition and denouncing
reliance on social science’s uninvestigated generalities
of cultures and human anthropological characteristics.

9. Continued...
3. Rejecting international policy relations that represent the
Occidental west as superior and rational while representing
the Oriental east as deviant and inferior.
4. Eradication of binary facilitated domination by the powerful,
rational, superior occident over the impotent, irrelevant,
deviant and inferior orient.

10. Conclusion
Orientalism was written to show European American power
to the orient and the mystification of the “Orient” as we see
earlier the western’s view towards the east which is discussed
by said in the book. He shows the European western imperial
power along with the confused feeling of the oriental
countries towards the western power.
