From: "Leong Yew" <lyew-AT-arts.adelaide.edu.au> Subject: Re: query about ORIENTALISM Date: Thu, 14 May 1998 10:44:41 +0930 Wayne, I was just reading Homi Bhabha's essay, "The Other Question" last night and thought that it might help in a reading of _Orientalism_. Bhabha devotes only a few pages to the book, but his entire approach to the concept of othering could be especially productive. Instead of a simple power/knowledge connection where the colonizer represents the colonized in ways amenable for colonial domination, otherness is caught up in a fetishistic expression of ambivalence. The essay can be found in _The Location of Culture_ , and has previously been published elsewhere.
