How east is inferior to west
This document summarizes Edward Said's concept of Orientalism as presented in his book Orientalism. It defines Occident as West and Orient as East, and how the West constructed the East as inferior through Orientalism. According to Said, Orientalism portrayed Eastern cultures as exotic, irrational, mysterious, and backwards in order to justify Western colonialism. The document discusses how Orientalist depictions in art and literature from the 18th-19th centuries reinforced stereotypes of Eastern peoples as uncivilized compared to the superior West. Said argued these portrayals were meant to dominate, not describe, Eastern societies. Even after decolonization, Western prejudice and overgeneralizations of Eastern cultures, like representing Arabs as violent, persisted through Oriental
What is Orientalism?
Edward Said was a 20th century Western philosopher known for his book "Orientalism" which introduced and defined the concept of Orientalism. Orientalism refers to the cultural representations and assumptions in the West about the Eastern world, especially the Middle East, that were influenced by imperialism and colonialism. Said argued that Orientalism promoted a false dichotomy between the Occident (Western world) and Orient (Eastern world), casting the latter as mysterious and irrational compared to the civilized and rational West. The document provides context on Said and Orientalism and examines how Western perceptions of Eastern cultures were shaped by colonial attitudes.
Taoist Painting Analysis
This document discusses Taoist beliefs and values that are reflected in traditional Chinese landscape paintings. Some key Taoist concepts shown in paintings include yin and yang, represented by mountains (yang) and water (yin); pu and wu wei, seen in the simple life of fishermen; and the goal of finding immortality by living in harmony with nature. Landscape paintings aim to depict these abstract Taoist ideas pictorially by featuring natural elements like mountains, water, and humans within the larger context of the universe.

Crisis [in orientalism] ppt
Edward Said was a prominent Palestinian scholar who published the influential book Orientalism in 1978. In the book, Said argues that Orientalism refers to the academic study of Near and Far Eastern societies by Western scholars. He challenges the concept of orientalism, which positions the East and West in opposition. In his essay "Crisis in Orientalism", Said describes how Orientalist scholars held textual attitudes towards the Orient that did not align with reality and shaped the West's view of the East. Their writings supported the colonization of regions like Africa and the Orient throughout the late 19th century. Said concludes by noting the disparity between the Orientalist texts and real-world conditions, representing an intellectual crisis.

orientalism
This document summarizes an introduction to a dossier on Orientalism. It discusses how, 30 years after Edward Said's seminal work Orientalism, perceptions of the Other ("the Orient") from the Western perspective still contain many stereotypes and myths. The introduction notes how globalization has made Eastern cultures more present worldwide, yet stereotypes persist. It briefly reviews Said's thesis that the West has constructed and maintained authority over the Orient through academic study, discourse that positions East vs. West, and styles of domination. The introduction argues the dossier will explore continued relevance of Said's work through articles on topics like history, philosophy, anthropology and literature regarding Eastern Asia.

Homi K. Bhabha is a prominent postcolonial theorist known for introducing concepts like hybridity and mimicry. Regarding hybridity, Bhabha emphasizes the dynamic nature of cultural interactions and fluidity of identity formation in colonial contexts. Cultures blend through mutual influences, creating hybrid spaces that challenge essentialist identities. Mimicry, the imitation of colonizers by colonized peoples, involves ambivalence but subtly undermines colonial authority by revealing its artificiality. Both hybridity and mimicry are forms of resistance that open spaces for new cultural expressions and identities.

English Language Teaching -1
The oral approach, also known as situational language teaching, was developed in Britain in the 1930s-1960s. It emphasizes using the target language for instruction and introducing new vocabulary and grammar points situationally through examples, pictures, and actions. Reading and writing are taught after students build lexical and grammatical foundations. While impactful on textbook design, it lacks analysis of language learning problems and sees acquisition as habit formation through drills.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
