Edward Wadie Said (إدوارد سعيد) (November 1, 1935 – September 24, 2003) was a well-known literary theorist, critic and outspoken Palestinian activist. According to Columbia News (Columbia University), he was "one of the most influential scholars in the world," and "was undoubtedly one of the greatest minds of the 20th century."

Said was born in Jerusalem (then in the British Mandate of Palestine) and raised in both Jerusalem and Cairo, Egypt. Until age 12, he lived between Cairo and West Jerusalem where he attended the Anglican St. Georges Academy in 1947.

His family became refugees in 1948 just prior to the capture of West Jerusalem by Israeli forces.

At age 14, Said entered Victoria College in Cairo, and then Mount Hermon School in the United States. He received his B.A. from Princeton University and his M.A. and Ph.D. from Harvard University.

He joined the faculty of Columbia University in 1963 and served as professor of English and Comparative Literature for several decades.

Said also taught at Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and Yale universities. He spoke English and French fluently, excellent colloquial and very good standard Arabic, and was literate in Spanish, German, Italian and Latin.

Said was bestowed numerous honorary doctorates from universities around the world and twice received Columbia's Trilling Award and the Wellek Prize of the American Comparative Literature Association.

Edward Said died at the age of 67 in New York after a long battle with chronic myelogenous leukemia.

Said is best known for describing and critiquing "Orientalism"; what he perceived as a constellation of false assumptions underlying Western attitudes toward the East.

In Orientalism (1978), Said decried the "subtle and persistent Eurocentric prejudice against Arabo-Islamic peoples and their culture". [1] He argued that a long tradition of false and romanticized images of Asia and the Middle East in Western culture had served as an implicit justification for Europe's and America's colonial and imperial ambitions.

Critiquing Said, Christopher Hitchens, who writes for Vanity Fair, wrote that he denied any possibility "that direct Western engagement in the region is legitimate" and that Said's analysis cast "every instance of European curiosity about the East [as] part of a grand design to exploit and remake what Westerners saw as a passive, rich, but ultimately contemptible 'Oriental' sphere". [2]

The British historian Bernard Lewis is another important critic who took issue with Said's work. The two authors exchanged a famous polemic in the pages of the New York Review of Books following the publication of Orientalism. Lewis' article, "The question of orientalism" was followed in the next issue by "Orientalism: an exchange".

如题,关于东方主义很翔实系统的讲解。不过里面的东方仅包括埃及,中东之类的。尽管如此,还是很有代表性的,Orientalism的Textual Analysis都靠他了。。。

恐惧下的学科——萨义德《东方学》读书笔记 “……现代东方学自身已经带有欧洲对伊斯兰巨大恐惧之印记……”——《东方学》P324 用了几乎半年,拉锯战般地,才将洋洋洒洒的厚度达到400页的《东方学》读了大半。恨是不敢下笔,因为甚至作者的很多论点都没有了解透彻,便胆大妄为...

很好的长篇书评:http://book.douban.com/review/1535090/ 萨义德的论述重点在于伊斯兰世界和中东周边,范围最多延伸到印度,远东很少被提及(其实近东到远东基本上就是西方的东方学所划定的地理范围),不过中国文化学者们似乎很喜欢用东方学的观点来批评西方的中国学和汉学研究。我认可里面所提到的某些知识生产机制、霸权话语和文本与物质的关系,可能在西方中国学/汉学/东亚研究里面也存在着,不过假如我们接受东亚跟近东到中东确实进入西方视野的方式有不同,尤其是假如我们认可东亚几个主要国家的被殖民都跟近中东有所不同,那么东方学里的东西多少能够用于远东,我有点怀疑。有没有人写过类似于东方学的“远东学”批评,我不太清楚。西方中心论述这几个月来倒是深有体会。
