Writing from the shadowlands: how cross-cultural literature negotiates the legacy of Edward Said
Get PDFThis thesis examines the impact of Edward Said's influential work Orientalism and its legacy in respect of contemporary reading and writing across cultures. It also questions the legitimacy of Said's retrospective stereotyping of early examples of cross-cultural representation in literature as uncompromisingly 'orientalist'.
It is well known that the release of Edward Said's Orientalism in 1978 was responsible for the rise of a range of cultural and critical theories from multiculturalism to postcolonialism. It was a study that not only polarized critics and forced scholars to re-examine orientalist archives, but persuaded creative writers to re-think their ethnographic positions when it came to the literary representations of cultures other than their own. Without detracting from the enormous impact of Said, this thesis isolates gaps and silences in Said that need correcting. Furthermore, there is an element of intransigence, an uncompromising refusal to fine-tune what is essentially a binary discourse of the West and its other in Said's work, that encourages the continued interrogation of power relations but which, because of its very boldness, paradoxically disallows the extent to which the conflict of cultures indeed produced new, hybrid social and cultural formations.
In an attempt to challenge the severity of Said's claim that 'every European, in what he could say about the Orient, was consequently a racist, an imperialist, and almost totally ethnocentric', the thesis examines a number of different discursive contexts in which such a presumption is challenged. Thus while the second chapter discusses the 'traditional' profession-based orientalism of nineteenth-century E. G. Browne, the third considers the anti-imperialism of colonial administrator Leonard Woolf. The fourth chapter provides a reflection on the difficulties of diasporic 'orientalism' through the works of Michael Ondaatje while chapter five demonstrates the effects of the dialogism used by Amitav Ghosh as a defence against 'orientalism'. The thesis concludes with an examination of contemporary writing by Andrea Levy that appositely illustrates the legacy of Said's influence.
While the restrictive parameters of Said's work make it difficult to mount a thorough-going critique of Said, this thesis shows that, indeed, it is within the restraints of these parameters and in the very discourse that Said employs that he traps himself. This study claims that even Said is susceptible to 'orientalist' criticism in that he is as much an 'orientalist' as those at whom he directs his polemic
POW Maj. Elias Holds Press Conference
No full textMontgomery, ALA: Georgia Elias listens as husband Maj. Edward Elias (center) holds his first news conference since being released by North Vietnam September 17th. Maj. Elias, one of three POWs released through antiwar activists\u27 efforts, thanked the antiwar group that secured his freedom, but said as a military man and not a diplomat he didn\u27t want to comment on negotiations. However, the 34-year-old Air Force flier said he felt further negotiations should be from \u27government to government and not by a diverse bunch of individuals.\u27https://digitalcommons.chapman.edu/upi_vietnam/1015/thumbnail.jp

Mémoires palestiniennes de la marginalité : Edward Said et Elias Sanbar
No full textThe American work of Edward Said and the French one of Elias Sanbar represent Palestinian marginality in two different, yet close, ways. According to both of them, Palestinians who were forced into exile live a double marginal situation: a marginality of the Exiled in relation to the Occupied who reside in the Palestinian Territories (al-dakhil) and a second type of marginality in the host countries, both Arab and Western. Therefore, the goal of this article is to understand the ways in which this double marginality of the Palestinians hides a temporal marginality that is linked to the waiting of a return to the homeland.L'oeuvre anglophone d'Edward Said et celle francophone d'Elias Sanbar témoignent de deux représentations, assez proches l'une de l'autre, de la marginalité palestinienne. Forcés à l'exil, les Palestiniens vivent, selon les deux auteurs ici étudiés, un double état marginal : une marginalité des exilés par rapport aux occupés vivant sur les territoires palestiniens (al-dâkhil) ainsi qu'une marginalité dans les pays de l'exil, arabes et occidentaux. L'objectif de cet article est donc de comprendre la manière dont cette double marginalité vécue par les Palestiniens cache une autre marginalité d'ordre temporel et qui est liée à l'attente d'un retour au pays natal
Orientalismo como configuração: aproximações outsiders entre Norbert Elias e Edward Said
Get PDFThis article aims to analyze the contributions of the ideas of a German sociologist, Norbert Elias, in 'The Established and the Outsiders' through his concept of 'configuration' and the structuring of relational power in society based on Community Studies. In addition, it is intended to revisit Edward Said's work 'Orientalism: Western Conceptions of the Orient ‘ and his analyses of the phenomenon of 'orientalism' as an ideological discursive practice for producing otherness by Western institutions. Finally, I intend to draw connections between both works, understanding orientalism as a configurational plan marked by established-outsiders power positions."Este artículo tiene como propuesta analizar las contribuciones de las ideas del sociólogo alemán Norbert Elias en Los establecidos y los outsiders, a través de su concepto de ‘configuración’ y la estructuración del poder relacional en la sociedad a partir de los Estudios de Comunidad.

What said the economic theory about Portugal. Another approach
Get PDFWith this work we try to analyse the agglomeration process in the Portuguese regions, using the New Economic Geography models. This work aims to test, also, the Verdoorn Law, with the alternative specifications of (1)Kaldor (1966), for the 28 NUTS III Portuguese in the period 1995 to 1999. It is intended to test the alternative interpretation of (2)Rowthorn (1975). With this study we want, also, to test the Verdoorn´s Law at a regional and a sectoral levels (NUTs II) for the period 1995-1999. The importance of some additional variables in the original specification of Verdoorn´s Law is yet tested, such as, trade flows, capital accumulation and labour concentration. This study analyses, also, through cross-section estimation methods, the influence of spatial effects in productivity in the NUTs III economic sectors of mainland Portugal from 1995 to 1999, considering the Verdoorn relationship. The aim of this paper is, yet, to present a contribution, with panel data, to the analysis of absolute convergence and conditional of the sectoral productivity at regional level (from 1995 to 1999). The structural variables used in the analysis of conditional convergence is the ratio of capital/output, the flow of goods/output and location ratio.new economic geography; Verdoorn law; convergence; cross-section and panel data; Portuguese regions
