In 1978, Edward Said, the cultural Palestinian-American critic wrote a book called “Orientalism: the invention of the East by the West.” In this book, Said criticized the academic work of the “orientalists” in Europe and North America, considering them an instrument of imperial power. As a Palestinian, he found himself particularly interested in European knowledge related to the Middle East and the Islam produced in the XVIII, XIX, and XX century. He had less to say about the European production of knowledge of the south and east of Asia. However, some of my professors and colleagues, like Sheldon Pollock, Ronald Inden and Richard King, develped some of Said’s ideas, extending his critic to the orientalism to discussions about indology and sinology. |
