Abstract

Said's most significant argument is that texts of Orientalism can create not only knowledge but also the very reality they appear to describe. At the same time his most important political claim is that as a system of learning about the Orient, Orientalism has close ties to enabling socio-economic and political institutions to the extent that it can be seen to have justified colonialism in advance as well as successfully facilitating its successful operation. On the one hand Said maintains that Orientalism is a system of representation, a discursive field with an internal consistency', which has no connection with the 'real Orient', while on the other hand he also seeks to prop colonialism and imperialism on the knowledge accumulated or constructed by Orientalism. In the present paper we look into the theoretical objections of Aijaz Ahmad and Robert Young to Said’s position regarding Orientalism as a discourse in the Foucauldian mould.
