The discussion began with the Question:,, What do you think of when they hear the word 'Orient' "For us in America the term has more to do with Japan or China, Edward Said, in his book, however, close to the East. Israel, Egypt, Palestine, etc. This was made clear and we have divided us into 4 groups, each with a question:
(1) What is Orientalism? p. 1-5
(2) What is the difference between 'pure knowledge' and 'political knowledge' are?
(3) What problems arise during the course of the oriental culture?
(4) What is Orientalism for us? (What does it offer?), P. 12-13
We discussed whether it is possible to consider a different culture without prejudice / tilt . Although one can try to ignore all the prejudice, they remain continuously in the background. Is that necessarily a bad thing?
Orientalism (Ie, prejudices) gives us a starting point for research, etc. As long as we recognize our tendency at least, the situation is not so bad.
Orientalism is also important for us, because we study, was seen as "the world of others" in the early modern period.
