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.
内容简介

作者简介
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.

近古以前欧洲人所说的东方主义中的东方,指亚洲等地,包括欧洲人所指的近东、中东、远东地区,甚至包括俄罗斯和原来的东罗马帝国。中国称东方文化圈则指以中国为代表的东亚文化圈。而在当代英语中,东方(Oriental)一词狭义上也主要指以中国为代表的东亚文化地区,不包括印度、西亚等地区,比以前所指的范围小。

萨义德认为,这种建构及论述,与那些国家的真实面貌几乎毫无关系。即使西方人要重新认识东方,他们大都跳不出这种论述的框框。
