INTRODUCTORY WORD THE FIRST edition of "Trading with the Far East" appeared a little more than a year ago, the United WHENStates had reached a critical in its stage history. The war had wrought great changes in our life. From a nation that had prided itself upon its independence, and, in a sense, even upon its isolation, we had emerged from the conflict bound by new ties of great economic and commercial importance. We had become world merchants. As our commerce had ex- panded, our perspective had broadened. Commercial relations had been established with markets which formerly were closed to us. American ships were familiar sights in ports where the Stars and Stripes had not been seen in half a century. The pendulum of American trade had swung to a high point. Would some supporting force, some expression of national resourcefulness, energy, enterprise, keep it there? Or, with the return of Europe to something resembling normal activity, would we fall back to our pre-war contentment in our economic self-sufficiency? In part, this question has been answered. Peace has been attained. Most of the nations have made at least a beginning in O *-3 rehabilitation.

  • Edward Said: on Orientalism
    MEDIA EDUCATION FOUNDATIONChallenging media TRANSCRIPT EDWARD SAID: ON ‘ORIENTALISM’ EDWARD SAID On ‘Orientalism’ Executive Producer & Director: Sut Jhally Producer & Editor: Sanjay Talreja Assistant Editor: Jeremy Smith Featuring an interview with Edward Said Professor, Columbia University and author of Orientalism Introduced by Sut Jhally University of Massachusetts-Amherst 2 INTRODUCTION [Montage of entertainment and news images] SUT JHALLY: When future scholars take a look back at the intellectual history of the last quarter of the twentieth century the work of Professor Edward Said of Columbia University will be identified as very important and influential. In particular Said's 1978 book, Orientalism, will be regarded as profoundly significant. Orientalism revolutionized the study of the Middle East and helped to create and shape entire new fields of study such as Post-Colonial theory as well influencing disciplines as diverse as English, History, Anthropology, Political Science and Cultural Studies. The book is now being translated into twenty-six languages and is required reading at many universities and colleges. It is also one of the most controversial scholarly books of the last thirty years sparking intense debate and disagreement. Orientalism tries to answer the question of why, when we think of the Middle East for example, we have a preconceived notion of what kind of people live there, what they believe, how they act. Even though we may never have been there, or indeed even met anyone from there. More generally Orientalism asks, how do we come to understand people, strangers, who look different to us by virtue of the color of their skin? The central argument of Orientalism is that the way that we acquire this knowledge is not innocent or objective but the end result of a process that reflects certain interests.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Europe, the Orient and the New World: Conceptual Geography and Historical Cosmology 1492-1992 Abstract That 1492 marks a double event and a watershed in European civilization and world history, is inescapable to all serious recent commentators and interpreters of that year and the subsequent half millennium. One witness to the events of 1492 later in a letter to his employers remembered how 'on the second day of January, I saw the royal banner of your Highnesses raised, by force of arms, on the towers of the Alhambra ... and, thereafter, in that same month ... your Highnesses, as Catholic Christians and ... foes of the sect of Muhammed and of all idolatries and heresies, thought of sending me, Christopher Columbus, to the regions of India ... and your Highnesses ordered that I should not travel overland to the east, as is customary, but rather by way of the west, whither to this day, as far as we can know for certain, no man has ever gone before' .1 Felipe Fernandez Armesto in his recent biography of Columbus teils this 'irresistible and incredible' part of 'the Columbus romance' in a rather more ironical way: how for instance 'Columbus made the first leg of his Atlantic journey by mule to Granada' (the mule in fact a great privilege in those times of war).2 But even Fernandez-Armesto sees the siege of Granada a little more than a theatrical backdrop to the decision, long deliberated, about sending Columbus out on to the Western ocean.

  • 1 Revised Dissertation Proposal February 28, 2005 Theorizing A
    1 Revised Dissertation Proposal February 28, 2005 Theorizing a Locational Modernism: Samhain, Orient, and Laughing Horse “a place on the map is also a place in history” Adrienne Rich, “Notes Toward a Politics of Location” “Maps are so naturalized within modern culture that their construction and use are rarely remarked upon” Matthew Edney, Mapping an Empire This is a project of reclamation. It puts into conversation three little-known modernist little magazines—Samhain, Orient, and Laughing Horse—in order to resurrect a complex social history of modernism. Borrowing Louise Pratt’s term, it reads these magazines as “contact zones,” which Pratt defines as “the space of colonial encounters, the space in which peoples geographically and historically separated come into contact with each other and establish ongoing relations” (1992: 6). Specifically, these magazines operated as public forums in which modernist literary and visual artists addressed the complicated intersections of geography, history, and empire—intersections shaping the relations in any contact zone or borderland. Like the contributors to these magazines, this project asks, how do geography, history, and empire come together in the creation of a national(ist) art and identity? Such was the question asked by W.B. Yeats on the pages of Samhain, the official organ of the Irish Literary Theatre (later the Abbey Theatre). Published in Dublin and edited by Yeats, Samhain (1901-1908)1 is the earliest of the magazines examined here: as such, it is read as a precursor to the later two—a model of how to read the modernist little magazine as a contact zone.

The titillating displays of Middle Eastern scenes drew the largest, most enthusiastic crowds in the entire Exhibition. For some reason, ordi - narily staid Victorians were drawn to the displays of belly dancers, myste - rious Bedouins, and sumptuous bazaars. This was a moment of transformation – the 1893 Exposition epitomized the ushering-in of a new consumer-based society in the United States. Over the course of a few short decades, America had transformed from a society of small farms and busi - nesses to a major urban, industrialized economy. According to film studies professor Gaylyn Studlar, the stylistic convergence of Orientalist iconography with consumer trends has been well documented as part of late- nineteenth and early-twentieth century marketing in depart - ment store displays and consumer packaging design that served as an exotic appeal to the fantasies of women and as a means of selling middle-class consumer goods .1 By the late nineteenth century, as American consumer culture first began to develop, Americans had relatively limited experience with the Middle East .

  • ORIENT Curatorial Text
    ORIENT Curatorial text “A sprawl of snowy hills and ugly roads… there is no one to see them.”i The exhibition Orient is a meditation on the Eastern European identity. It considers the failure of its own identity to be the unifying aspect of this unclear region. The contradictory longing for pride and patriotism and at the same time, the feeling of being ashamed of where we come fromii that leads to the suppression and negation of this belongingness. The embarrassment, growing from the internalisation of the collapse of the surrounding context that used to be built upon a social and political utopia. The expectation of catching up with the Western capitalist standards, to which European integration - meaning, integration into Western Europe – was so often reduced on both sides. The disappearance of the Second World from the pictureiii, and hence, belonging neither to Europe nor to the West nor to the “non-Western.” This exhibition has chosen a projection of the obviously problematic titleiv to constitute the ironical, self-deprecating identity of the “East European (br)Other.”v It claims this contradictory “Oedipal relation”vi by both refusing and craving it as key constituents of the in- between-ness of Eastern (Bloc, Central, post-communist, New, etc.)vii Europe. Stating the suppressed inferiority complex as a possible reason for the recent upheaval of nationalism and anti-democratic tendencies in Eastern Europe, it questions whether the acceptance of this failure in constituting and performing Eastern European identities could not be turned into a virtue. It sees the need for patriotism in a positive way.
