In contrast, postcolonial studies, including Arabic studies, played a prominent role in revealing the cultural, social and economic effects of colonialism, especially the studies of Edward Said, who had the most important role in revealing Western discourses about the East, and exposing the imperialist regimes that practiced colonial action. In the same context, an alternative or opposing view to Orientalism emerged in the Arab East, which the Egyptian researcher Hassan Hanafi calls \u201cthe science of Westernization,\u201d through which Hanafi tried to develop these studies, after realizing the Western obsession with dominating the cultures of the Third World, in an attempt to provide a critical scientific reading of Western civilization.<\/p>\n<p>In light of these two projects belonging to the Arab world, and because each of them is a project related to the subject of research, this book attempts to monitor Edward Said\u2019s critical project and the foundation of postcolonial studies, and to examine the opinions of his most important critics, as well as to monitor Hassan Hanafi\u2019s attempts to adapt his idea in the science of orientalism, and his most important failures according to his critics. The book not only adopts the same approach adopted by critics of Orientalism in early, middle and later stages, but it delves deeper into covering the greater part of the phenomena, elements and problems of Orientalism, emphasizing that crucial central dimension in the roles of Orientalism, namely the act of domination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Center for Arab Unity Studies has published the book Orientalism and Hegemony: Colonial Discourse and the Domination over the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8186,"featured_media":147566,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[1187,1652],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-147710","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-culture","product_cat-politics","first","instock","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-variable"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
