This course will study the formation of the Middle East-West divide and the vast implications which such a logic of civilizational opposition holds for our understanding of the modern world. In this respect, the course will interrogate the convoluted idea of representation itself, its intrinsic relationship to the formation of power, its circulation through cultural systems, and ultimately the importance of its manifestation through the medium of writing. In the end, this will provide a broader philosophical vantage-point from which to question the very way in which we engage with the existence of the unknown.
