Exile1 quote

Regard experiences then as if they were to disappear. — Edward Said · 1993Home1 quote

Orientalism can be discussed and analyzed as the corporate institution for dealing with the Orient-dealing with it by making statements about it, authorizing views of it, describing it, by teaching it, settling it, ruling over it: in short, Orientalism as a Western style for dominating, restructuring, and having authority over the Orient. — Edward Said · 1978
