Edward Said’s theory of Orientalism demonstrates how Western society constructs biased perceptions of “The Orient” and links them to political power. Said argues that these constructions are not simply factual misrepresentations, but are actively produced and maintained to justify Western dominance. His work focuses on the importance of critically analyzing frameworks of knowledge and experiences. He emphasizes how such biased frameworks shape understanding and reinforce existing power dynamics between the West and “The Orient”. Said’s critical analysis further reveals how “The Orient” is often defined in opposition to the West, creating a sense of otherness. This intellectual tradition, according to Said, has had lasting effects on political and cultural interactions between Western nations and countries in “The Orient”. His work remains highly influential in postcolonial studies and critical theory.
