Edward Wadie Said (إدوارد سعيد) (November 1, 1935 – September 24, 2003) was a well-known literary theorist, critic and outspoken Palestinian activist. According to Columbia News (Columbia University), he was "one of the most influential scholars in the world," and "was undoubtedly one of the greatest minds of the 20th century."
Said was born in Jerusalem (then in the British Mandate of Palestine) and raised in both Jerusalem and Cairo, Egypt. Until age 12, he lived between Cairo and West Jerusalem where he attended the Anglican St. Georges Academy in 1947.
His family became refugees in 1948 just prior to the capture of West Jerusalem by Israeli forces.
At age 14, Said entered Victoria College in Cairo, and then Mount Hermon School in the United States. He received his B.A. from Princeton University and his M.A. and Ph.D. from Harvard University.
He joined the faculty of Columbia University in 1963 and served as professor of English and Comparative Literature for several decades.
Said also taught at Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and Yale universities. He spoke English and French fluently, excellent colloquial and very good standard Arabic, and was literate in Spanish, German, Italian and Latin.
Said was bestowed numerous honorary doctorates from universities around the world and twice received Columbia's Trilling Award and the Wellek Prize of the American Comparative Literature Association.
Edward Said died at the age of 67 in New York after a long battle with chronic myelogenous leukemia.
Said is best known for describing and critiquing "Orientalism"; what he perceived as a constellation of false assumptions underlying Western attitudes toward the East.
In Orientalism (1978), Said decried the "subtle and persistent Eurocentric prejudice against Arabo-Islamic peoples and their culture". [1] He argued that a long tradition of false and romanticized images of Asia and the Middle East in Western culture had served as an implicit justification for Europe's and America's colonial and imperial ambitions.
Critiquing Said, Christopher Hitchens, who writes for Vanity Fair, wrote that he denied any possibility "that direct Western engagement in the region is legitimate" and that Said's analysis cast "every instance of European curiosity about the East [as] part of a grand design to exploit and remake what Westerners saw as a passive, rich, but ultimately contemptible 'Oriental' sphere". [2]
The British historian Bernard Lewis is another important critic who took issue with Said's work. The two authors exchanged a famous polemic in the pages of the New York Review of Books following the publication of Orientalism. Lewis' article, "The question of orientalism" was followed in the next issue by "Orientalism: an exchange".
本書原名是《ORIENTALISM》,當然我們慣於將ISM字尾譯成"主義",但所謂ORIENTALISM,原始的意思是"東方學",即長久以來西方(傳統歐州國家),如何研究東方(以中東為主的地區),以及這種思考脈絡下所形成的一種學術方法。但在書中,薩依德真正要告訴我們的是,這種思考脈絡如何成...
评分“……现代东方学自身已经带有欧洲对伊斯兰巨大恐惧之印记……”——《东方学》P324 Orientalism是什么? Orientalism一词一般有三个方面的含义: 一种学术研究学科;一种思维方式;一种权力话语方式。实际上这三个方面是相互紧密的相连的。 萨达尔的《东方主义》中有这么一段...
评分如题,关于东方主义很翔实系统的讲解。不过里面的东方仅包括埃及,中东之类的。尽管如此,还是很有代表性的,Orientalism的Textual Analysis都靠他了。。。
评分撰文:亚当·沙茨 翻译:陶小路 首发《东方历史评论》微信公号:ohistory 《纽约书评》:过去与当下的东方主义 爱德华·萨义德的《东方主义》(Orientalism)是战后知识史上最具影响力的作品之一,也是最容易被误解的一本。或许最常见的误解是,它是一本 “关乎”中东的作品;...
评分所以其核心在于,所谓“东方”的概念,不过是西方权力利用知识话语构建的一套真理体系,最终以达到其殖民地目的。
评分萨义德忽略的一个部分在于“欧洲”=“历史进程中的主体和现代”不只是欧洲人的建构,也是第三世界的建构。不对称权力双方对权力结构的固化有同样的贡献。就像性别歧视不是男性对女性的压迫而是全性别共同促成的不平等一样,认为欧洲中心主义的主体只有欧洲事实上也是欧洲中心主义的一种表现。
评分读了Introduction 。。刚开始直呼神奇,把我长久以来的一些想法一并道尽,读得酣畅淋漓好痛快!可是后面就开始越来越不对劲。。。
评分这是历史学家吗?福柯的理论拿来就用啊。一字长蛇学术阵的典型案例。您自己个儿对东亚可也是“东方主义”啊,脸疼么
评分为什么找不到我读的那版...- -/ 卧槽我真受够研究IR的theorists了为神马一个几句话能阐述清的理论可以反反复复反反复复一本书翻来覆去地说,不同句型不同例子说的一直都是同一个东西→此人已经因为essay要暴走了(虽然它是里程碑的存在我还是很郁闷啊!!!!!)
