- What does surrogate mean in Edward Said’s Orientalism?
This is a supplemental video to Part 1 of my series on Orientalism. Said's "Orientalism," is one of the most significant books in postcolonial, literary and other fields of humanistic and social sciences studies. If you have ever wondered "What is orientalism" or how does Edward Said employ and explain orientalism as a concept then this series on actually reading Orientalism can be of much use to you.
The page numbers that I refer to are from the 1994 Vintage Books edition. I strongly recommend that you should read the book along with these video conversations:

Hi Professor, this is Saleem. I'm watching this particular playlist to understand Said's Orientalism. I have no proper guidance other than this. Thank you so much for such content. A lot of love from your native land❤
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much
You are welcome.
Thanks a lot doctor
You are welcome.
was wondering the meaning of this term while watching the last video and then saw you had made a video explaining it. Beutifully explained.
Thank you so much. Yes, someone had posted a question about it. Glad you found it.
Hi Professor. I appreciate these videos so much. I am taking a course on the history of politics in the Middle East and have to read Said. Is there anyway you would continue the series?
Thank you. Yes, I do plan to continue but recently have not had much time to read. I will probably pick this up this summer.
Thanks I needed it since I'm writing an article for which probably I'm using this word in my title.
Cool. Glad this would be of some use to you.
This is very helpful, thank you!
You are welcome.
well explained
Thank you.
I was also wondering what does it mean...thank you sir....
You are welcome.
Well, I understand the term surrogate at last, crystal clear... Now, I ask myself: is it always necessary the existance of an opposite in order to define something? It seems so, but maybe this is a too philosophical or silly question to post here, I don't know.
I think it is an important question. I think the other, if we go by Levinas, is always there as part of our self, for self knows itself with reference to its other. The question here is as to how we view this other. In case if orientalism this other is seen and portrayed as inferior.
@@masoodraja Thanks for your quick answer!... Yes, I think I was kind of mixing concepts; one thing is the need of the opposite to be able to define something (positive/negative, good/bad, night/day...) and another is to value one of the binaries over the other. I suppose, in Postcolonial theory we are talking about the 'negativity', the flaws inside western culture as they are proyected outside (Orientalism), that is, on the eastern culture, giving the impresion that all the limitations and negativity are in 'the other' while at the same time the superiority of the coloniser becomes reinforced. I'll have a look to Levinas, anyway.
Great: You explained it better that I could!!!
@@masoodraja No way!! :)) Thanks a lot again.
You are welcome.
