Edward Said, thank you for giving us such a wonderful word. 'Orientalism' is what I experience everyday for example when western media publishes news about my country. And especially what topics they decide to publish, mainly the ones that aline with their stereotypes about it. Greetings from Jammu Kashmir/ India

🤦‍♂️ it is scientifically proven… go research orientalism and the bionarrative the west creates purposefully to legitimize imperialism and oppression. Many US presidents admitted that in the past…

Thank you! This was a great video! Helped me in my seminar about the book.

Brilliant video. Your explanation is precise and direct. You made the term much easier to understand. I will have your explanation in mind while reading the book.

This is amazing! Thank you so much! :) Education should be easily accessible to everyone 😊

Thank you for this very clear summary of the most important ideas.

Thanks a lot for this has helped me very much in my research field of postcolonialism.. see you in more relevant productions. good luc

Thank you for making me understand this topic. About to go write this exams now. Nice work!

Thank you so much for this wonderful video and explanation,♡♡♡

Listening to it before my exams and found this extremely helpful and informative.Thank you!✨

I read this book in art school , I'm so happy professor Charles Gains used this book in his curriculum. I'm reading again 20 years later.

Meeting the expected. Great video. Thank you

WOW! THIS IS THE BEST AND MOST UNDERSTANDABLE EXPLANATION OF ORIENTALISM. THANK YOU FOR THIS! I AM A STUDENT FROM THE PHILIPPINES TAKING UP ENGLISH LANGUAGE STUDIES, AND YOU REALLY HELPED ME SET THE PACE FOR MY TOPIC PRESENTATION. MORE POWER T O YOU. 💯

I saw Edward speak at a conference in 1987. He was a very elegant man and a very good speaker. Too bad that the news media didn’t give him more of an opportunity to speak his vision of the world.

Thank you for this great overview.

I am interetsed in learning more about what other works or academics Said inspired to continue from his work

Edward Said was my great uncle lol. if you want to look into people that he influenced you should definitely check out Ussama Makdisi, Saree Makdisi, and Karim Makdisi. (my dad+ my uncles) they would have daily lessons with him about orientalism and all that. I wish I could give you more info about his teachings but Edward passed away before I was born sadly :/

I think I heard John Henry Clark tried to say the same thing that Edward Saeed kind of drew out about how orientalism from European standpoint, and from Arab standpoint are all about cultural domination. And the education in orientalism, and both fields are very much still alive.

excellent lecture, could improve the audio though :)

I’m not really familiar with Theodore Herzl, but I remember that he coined Zionism, the idea that there should be a Jewish nation and nowadays it’s often referred to the Jewish right for self determination. The original area for a Jewish state wasn’t in Palestine, it was in South America. Herzl believed that there needed to be a Jewish majority, and I think he said it was because it wouldn’t be safe otherwise. I haven’t heard anything about France tho

@picasso114

Herzl was a terrorist

No, I do have a question and that is what would he have thought about Darwinism because Darwinism and social Darwinism and orientalism seem to come from the same backgrounds and the carry out the same aims so what would’ve Edward Saeed had to say about that?

For anyone who seriously endeavours to arrive at an accurate understanding of The Eastern Mentality, the three standard foundational works are without doubt the magisterial _Sinbad the Sailor_ (1935, Douglas Fairbanks Jr.) and of almost equal stature _Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves_ (1944 Jon Hall) and then the epic series _I dream of Jeannie_ (Larry Hagman). The three taken together offer invaluable glimpses behind the mysterious veil of the East, onto a world of splendour amid squalor, honour amid cruelty, and an irrational rationality entirely of its own.

The intro is sooo long... is the book all about Said's background?

I don't think it is a good idea to present Edward Said's critical theory without mentioning his critics and why he is criticized.

So, who's here because they're writing an exam and need to get up to speed?

The Orient is not an inert fact of nature but rather an idea, a body of images, vocabulary and stereotypes created by the West to keep control over the Orient. What explains the strength and the durability of Orientalism is related to Gramsci's concept of Hegemony

My experience as a Saudi

I read the wikipedia page about this book. It was horribly biased and one-sided views against the author.

RIP Mr. Palestine!

Victimhood writ large

Said was an Egyption, not a Palestinian. He lied about that, and his work is filled with contradictions and hyperbole.

Very much a product of his time, the era of postcolonialism. Accusing Western academia and media of having a skewed vision of the Orient is still relevant today, but Said very much points his finger at the 1950s and before. Academia today moved on from there or, at the very least, has strong dissenting voices in the field for anyone interested in digging.

a wonderful example of how true Saids words are still today

I read this in college and was indoctrinated into believing it as gospel. I don't think it is. I think a deeper look around history and economics may fill in many of the holes left by a comparative literature professor. Also comparing East Asian writings and impressions of the middle east would be essential to attempt to have some deductive rather than exclusively inductive reasoning. Said's worldview is one of the West vs. The East. Certainly a nice first step, but the East doesn't view itself this way. China views Palestinians very much as westerners. Europeans didn't believe anything about Arabs which Arabs didn't think about Africans or Chinese. Persians and Turks are Arabs all had the same stereotypes of each other. The narrow minded view of the west as colonizers and enemies of all "indigenous people" falls apart when you lose the Eurocentric perspective as your baseline.
