Since the publication of Edward Said?s book, Orientalism (1978), the term ?Orientalism?
has been used in a broad sense to describe the way that people involved in Asian Studies
participate in the creation of incorrect and misleading stereotypes about ?The East.? Is
Orientalism a useful category for analysis?
You might answer this question in a standard meditative essay, or you might choose to
offer a close reading of one of the texts (including films) that we have studied this
semester. In either case, you must incorporate a wide variety of examples from the course
materials (including Midnight?s Children). As always, a 4.0 paper will also go beyond
these basic requirements to make an argument that engages with broader themes from the
course content.
