COLT 2830A - Enduring Orientalism

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

Although it has been 25 years since Edward Said's Orientalism first began to generate a new academic field for the critical study of colonial culture, it would be naïve for us to speak of Orientalist literature and scholarship solely in the past tense. This seminar explores the enduring legacies of Orientalist discourse, by examining Said's initial critique, and the emergence of forms of self-conscious neo-Orientalist discourses.
