Book excerpt: A groundbreaking critique of the West's historical, cultural, and political perceptions of the East that is—three decades after its first publication—one of the most important books written about our divided world. "Intellectual history on a high order ... and very exciting." —The New York Times In this wide-ranging, intellectually vigorous study, Said traces the origins of "orientalism" to the centuries-long period during which Europe dominated the Middle and Near East and, from its position of power, defined "the orient" simply as "other than" the occident. This entrenched view continues to dominate western ideas and, because it does not allow the East to represent itself, prevents true understanding.

Book excerpt: Scientific Essay from the year 2011 in the subject Cultural Studies - Miscellaneous, language: English, abstract: In the following I would like to attempt an answer as to whether and how the cultural distance between East and West can be bridged. Rudyard Kipling in his days said 'Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet, Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God's Great Judgement Seat;' These are the lines which are usually quoted. However, an Indian Maharajah and former Indian Ambassador to Washington D.C., correctly added the following lines, which are 'But there is neither East nor West, Border, not Breed, nor Birth, When two strong men stand face to face, Though they come from the end of the Earth' and he interpreted the two "strong men" as When two strong "minds" meet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geographically speaking, whether in the Orient or in the Occident, culture has its origin in Orient. The appearance of Greek culture marks the formation of the Occident culturally. The Occidental culture presents a morphological integrity, which benefited from the development of the Greek culture acted by Roman. After the appearance of Greek and Roman culture, the European countries began their westernization successively, namely, the Hellenization of Italy, the Italianization of Britain, the Anglicization of France, and the Frenchification of Germany. There are two reasons why European countries completed westernization before Asia and other Oriental countries: First, absolutism started early and then disintegrated early; Second, Christianity was bound up in the competition of the state and the church caused by secular power. The Orient, especially China, has been in the Asiatic mode of production in all ages. And there is neither a slave society nor a feudal society. But this does not indicate the particularity of the Oriental/Chinese history. On the contrary, it only shows that the mode of production between the Oriental/Chinese society and the Occidental/European society is in a state of dislocation, that is to say, the social structure of China has not yet developed to the level of the slave society and the feudal society. There are two opposing elements in Marxism: democracy and communism. It is necessary to correctly understand and apply Marxism in order to change the dislocation of the mode of production between the Oriental and the Occidental society.

Download or read book Occidentalism written by Ian Buruma and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2005-03-29 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-five years ago, Edward Said's Orientalism spawned a generation of scholarship on the denigrating and dangerous mirage of "the East" in the Western colonial mind. But "the West" is the more dangerous mirage of our own time, Ian Buruma and Avishai Margalit argue, and the idea of "the West" in the minds of its self-proclaimed enemies remains largely unexamined and woefully misunderstood. Occidentalism is their groundbreaking investigation of the demonizing fantasies and stereotypes about the Western world that fuel such hatred in the hearts of others. We generally understand "radical Islam" as a purely Islamic phenomenon, but Buruma and Margalit show that while the Islamic part of radical Islam certainly is, the radical part owes a primary debt of inheritance to the West. Whatever else they are, al Qaeda and its ilk are revolutionary anti-Western political movements, and Buruma and Margalit show us that the bogeyman of the West who stalks their thinking is the same one who has haunted the thoughts of many other revolutionary groups, going back to the early nineteenth century. In this genealogy of the components of the anti-Western worldview, the same oppositions appear again and again: the heroic revolutionary versus the timid, soft bourgeois; the rootless, deracinated cosmopolitan living in the Western city, cut off from the roots of a spiritually healthy society; the sterile Western mind, all reason and no soul; the machine society, controlled from the center by a cabal of insiders—often Jews—pulling the hidden levers of power versus an organically knit-together one, a society of "blood and soil." The anti-Western virus has found a ready host in the Islamic world for a number of legitimate reasons, they argue, but in no way does that make it an exclusively Islamic matter. A work of extraordinary range and erudition, Occidentalism will permanently enlarge our collective frame of vision
