Here is my response of the given task of identifying 5concept of orientalism from interview of Edward said "Orientalism" by Sut Jhally.
1. Professor Edward said that instead with an enormous of soldiers but also scientist, Architects, Philologist, Biologist,Historians, whose job it was to record Egypt in every conceivable way, and produce a kind of scientific survey of Egypt, which was designed not for the Egyptian but for the European.
2. Orientalism revolutionized the study of the middle East and helped to create and shape entire new fields of study such as post-colonial theory as well influencing disciplines as diverse as English, History,Anthropology, political science and cultural studies.
Professor said 's contribution to how we understand this general process of what we could call stereotyping has been immense.
3. How do we understand the natives we are encountering so we can conquer and subdue them easier? This process of Orientalism makes this general process more formal in that it presents itself as objective knowledge. Said identifies "Napoleons" conquest of Egypt in 1798 as marketing a new kind of imperial and colonial conquest, that inaugurates the project of orientalism.
4.Islam is a useful foreign demon to turn attention away from the inequities and problems in our society. As a result the human side of the Islamic and especially Arabic world, are rarely to be found and the net result is this vacancy on the one hand and these easy, almost automatic image of terror and violence.
5. Edward said draw on work of Antonio Gramsci,"Therefor the task at outset, is to try to complies an inventory" in other words to try and make sense of it, it and this seems to me to be the most interesting sort of human task. It's task of giving history some shape and sense, for a particular reason not just show that my history is better than yours, or my history is worse than yours.
