Professor Edward Said in lecture
No full textIn this important lecture delivered at the University of Massachusetts, Edward Said takes aim at one of the central tenets of recent foreign policy thinking - that conflicts between different and clashing "civilizations" (Western, Islamic, Confucian) characterize the contemporary world. Said argues that collapsing complex, diverse and contradictory groups of people into vast, simplistic abstractions has disastrous consequences. Presenting instead a vision of the "coexistence" of difference, Said concludes with the fundamental challenge that faces humanity at the turn of the millennium
Writing from the shadowlands: how cross-cultural literature negotiates the legacy of Edward Said
Full text linkThis 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

Wedad Said Oral History
No full textWedad Said was an alumna of AUC (1946) and was a faculty member teaching philosophy from 1951 to 1981. She describes the university while she was a student, and explains how she received her undergraduate degree through an arrangement under which she completed two years at the American College for Girls before two years of study at AUC. She tells of her graduate studies in the United States toward a doctorate from Bryn Mawr College, and receiving financial support from AUC in return for her coming back to teach at the university. She asserts that she was one of the first Egyptian women to study abroad unaccompanied. Upon receiving her PhD in 1951 she began to teach philosophy at AUC, continuing for the next three decades; Said is considered the first full-time female faculty member at AUC. The place of philosophy in the curriculum, required as part of the Freshman Tutorial but attracting few majors, is discussed, as is Said’s reputation as a strict grader. She also offers observations on her colleagues in the English Department, where as philosophy professor Said was typically placed. Said describes students at AUC in her teaching years, including their family background (generally coming from families who could pay high tuition fees) and educational background. Said’s position as supervisor of women students is mentioned, along with her role as the supervisor for President Gamal Abdel Nasser’s daughter Mona, and she comments on female students’ later adoption of headscarf veiling. Said also briefly touches on major events affecting the university like the 1952 revolution, the 1956 Suez Crisis and the 1967 War, as well as faculty compensation issues

KRITIK IBN WARRAQ ATAS ORIENTALISME EDWARD SAID: PERDEBATAN EPISTEMOLOGIS MENGENAI ‘TIMUR DAN BARAT’
No full textThis article tries to describe Ibn Warraq's critique onEdward Said's monumental work, "Orientalism (1979)" in four main areas; Said anti-Western; misunderstanding on Western culture; orientalism and imperialism; and the relationship of Western music with the Eastern world. Based on critical study approach to the two monumental works of thesetwo intellectual figures, the results of the study show that even Said has never "responded" to Warraq's criticism directly, but Said's views and thoughts after his publication of the work "Orientalism", had become a kind of "defense" and "weapons", which counterattacked to his critics. Said's thesis against Warraq's anti-thesis, which later led to synthesis, and likewise the circulation of theory and theoretical criticism, has made a very significant contributionto the development of science. Through a very serious academic debate between Warraq and Said, the perspectives of scientists and people in generalhave become clearer
