The publication of Edward Said's Orientalism in 1978 marks the
inception of orientalism as a discourse. Since then, Orientalism
has remained highly polemical and has become a widely employed
epistemological tool. Three decades on, this volume sets out to
survey, analyse and revisit the state of the Orientalist debate,
both past and present. The leitmotiv of this book is its emphasis
on an intimate connection between art, land and voyage. Orientalist
art of all kinds frequently derives from a consideration of the
land which is encountered on a voyage or pilgrimage, a relationship
which, until now, has received little attention. Through adopting a
thematic and prosopographical approach, and attempting to locate
the fundamentals of the debate in the historical and cultural
contexts in which they arose, this book brings together a diversity
of opinions, analyses and arguments.
