If not, then....do it NOW! You are deep deep trouble, my friend. Acording to Said: <blockquote>"In the creating of a consensus about the <strong>‘other’</strong>, the Oriental nations, that encompassed not only the Western world but also the elites of the those nations. Western education, literature, and art became dominant because of the economic and political dominance of the imperialist countries. Power, or the lack thereof, therefore, lies at the heart of the Orientalist discourse and allows the stabilization of the consensus that is critical to the maintenance of dominance. Said emphasizes that Orientalist discourses are not a thing of the past, and that they imbue the political vocabulary that we use today in our understandings of the nations of the Third World.</blockquote> What Anis Shivani means by "The commodification of an exoticised Orientalism" is turning the image of Indians into the "<strong>other</strong>". Anis wants to show Orientalism also applies for Indians. I have to go now Sharique. BTW, I don't mean to be snobbish ;) Salaam Sharique,

Please don’t tell me you never heard of Edward Said? and his book; Orientalism? If not, then….do it NOW! You are deep deep trouble, my friend.

Acording to Said:

“In the creating of a consensus about the ‘other’, the Oriental nations, that encompassed not only the Western world but also the elites of the those nations. Western education, literature, and art became dominant because of the economic and political dominance of the imperialist countries. Power, or the lack thereof, therefore, lies at the heart of the Orientalist discourse and allows the stabilization of the consensus that is critical to the maintenance of dominance. Said emphasizes that Orientalist discourses are not a thing of the past, and that they imbue the political vocabulary that we use today in our understandings of the nations of the Third World.

What Anis Shivani means by “The commodification of an exoticised Orientalism” is turning the image of Indians into the “other“. Anis wants to show Orientalism also applies for Indians.

I have to go now Sharique. BTW, I don’t mean to be snobbish ;)

Salaam

We heard it before; the stereotype of sex frustrate males and untouched by globalisation and feminism. Anis Shivani calls it: <strong>The commodification of an exoticised Orientalism </strong> This is not the first time I read something like this.

Anis Shivani calls it:
