The theme is the way in which intellectual traditions are created and trans-mitted... Orientalism is the example Mr. Said uses, and by it he means something precise. The scholar who studies the Orient (and specifically the Muslim Orient), the imaginitive writer who takes it as his subject, and the institutions which have been concerned with teaching it, settling it, ruling it, all have a certain representation or idea of the Orient defined as being other than the Occident, mysterious, unchanging and ultimately inferior.
內容簡介

作者簡介
Said was an influential cultural critic and author, known best for his book Orientalism (1978), which catapulted him to international academic fame. The book presented his influential ideas on Orientalism, the Western study of Eastern cultures. Said contended that Orientalist scholarship was and continues to be inextricably tied to the imperialist societies that produced it, making much of the work inherently politicized, servile to power, and therefore suspect.
Grounding much of this thesis in his intimate knowledge of colonial literature such as the fiction of Conrad, and in the post-structuralist theory of Foucault, Derrida and others, Said's Orientalism and following works proved influential in literary theory and criticism, and continue to influence several other fields in the humanities. Orientalism affected Middle Eastern studies in particular, transforming the way practitioners of the discipline describe and examine the Middle East. Said came to discuss and vigorously debate the issue of Orientalism with scholars in the fields of history and area studies, many of whom disagreed with his thesis, including most famously Bernard Lewis.

薩義德認為,東方主義屬於西方建構産物,旨在為東西建立一個明顯的分野,從而突齣西方文化的優越性;而在法國和英國要讓東方國傢如阿爾及利亞﹑埃及﹑印度成為殖民地的時候,這種思想形態便在政治上有利用價值。

薩義德於1978年在他富有爭議的名著《東方學》裏清晰錶達並宣揚瞭這個觀點,以伊斯蘭研究為中心分析歐洲的東方學,有學者總結薩義德的觀點如下:“薩義德曾以伊斯蘭研究為中心分析過歐洲的東方學,他把這種學問視為一種根據東方在歐洲西方經驗中的位置而處理、協調東方的方式,在這種方式中,東方成為瞭歐洲物質文明和文化的內在組成部分,是歐洲自我得以建立的它者。對於歐洲而言,東方既不是歐洲的純粹虛構或奇想,也不是一種自然的存在,而是一種被人為創造齣來的理論和實踐體係,蘊含著漫長曆史積纍下來的物質層麵的內容。”批評這種學術傳統以及一些現代學者,例如普林斯頓大學的Bernard Lewis教授,和文明衝突論學者,耶魯大學教授亨廷頓博士。

薩義德認為,這種建構及論述,與那些國傢的真實麵貌幾乎毫無關係。即使西方人要重新認識東方,他們大都跳不齣這種論述的框框。

東方學,Said名著。讀原文需較高的英文程度,夾雜很多法文(因為引用瞭不少法文資料),語言方麵就覺得挺難的,內容的理解更不容易。

“一個國傢是由一個個具體的人構成的,她由這些人創造,並且決定。隻有一個國傢擁有那些能夠尋求真理的人,能夠獨立思考的人,能夠記錄真實的人,能夠不計利害為這片土地付齣的人,能夠去捍衛自己憲法權利的人,能夠知道世界並不完美但仍不言乏力,不言放棄的人,隻有一個國傢擁有這樣的頭腦和靈魂,我們纔能說我們為祖國驕傲。隻有一個國傢能夠尊重這樣的頭腦和靈魂,我們纔能說我們有信心讓明天更好。”
