Edward W. Said (1935–2003)
Auteur van Oriëntalisten
Over de Auteur
Born in Jerusalem and educated at Victoria College in Cairo and at Princeton and Harvard universities, Edward Said has taught at Columbia University since 1963 and has been a visiting professor at Harvard and Johns Hopkins University. He has had an unusual dual career as a professor of comparative toon meer literature, a recognized expert on the novelist and short story writer Joseph Conrad, (see Vol. 1) and as one of the most significant contemporary writers on the Middle East, especially the Palestinian question and the plight of Palestinians living in the occupied territories. Although he is not a trained historian, his Orientalism (1978) is one of the most stimulating critical evaluations of traditional Western writing on Middle Eastern history, societies, and literature. In the controversial Covering Islam (1981), he examined how the Western media have biased Western perspectives on the Middle East. A Palestinian by birth, Said has sought to show how Palestinian history differs from the rest of Arabic history because of the encounter with Jewish settlers and to present to Western readers a more broadly representative Palestinian position than they usually obtain from Western sources. Said is presently Old Dominion Foundation Professor in the Humanities at Columbia, editor of Arab Studies Quarterly, and chair of the board of trustees of the Institute of Arab Studies. He is a member of the Palestinian National Council as well as the Council on Foreign Relations in New York. (Bowker Author Biography) Edward W. Said is University Professor of English & Comparative Literature at Columbia University. He is the author of nineteen books, including "Orientalism" (which was nominated for a National Book Critics Circle Award), "Culture & Imperialism", "The End of the Peace Process", & "Out of Place", a memoir. He lives in New York City. (Bowker Author Biography) toon minder

Hij volgt verwoed en bewonderend het pad door de werken van Homerus, Nerval, Flaubert, Disraeli en Kipling, wier fantasievolle beschrijvingen flink hebben bijgedragen aan het romantische en exotische beeld dat het Westen kreeg van het Oosten. Ook gaat hij uitvoerig in op de geschiedenis van de wetenschappelijk oriëntalistiek. Said onderzoekt, steunend op zijn eigen ervaring als Palestijn die leefde in het Westen, hoe de oriëntalistische beeldvorming een reflectie kan zijn van Europees imperialisme en racisme.… (meer)
