Was this a literal observation/comment? is death possible? is death 
an objective condition? I think Tanya missed 
the other interpretation, that of Said as "someone" who has 
participated in the social struggle of a very significant social 
group. Only in this context, and in the context of his impressive 
intellectual contribution that has influenced both Cultural Studies 
and post-colonial studies, Edward Said will not die. Perhaps we 
should reflect on the question of death, and leave Said for a moment.
