Dersin Amacı

Ever since human beings differentiated between those of their own community and others, the possibility of misperceiving the “other” has existed. That possibility expanded greatly during the period of European exploration, colonization, and imperialism. With European exploration of the lands to the east, called the “Near East” or “Middle East,” came description, analysis, interpretation of those lands and their people. Those who studied and wrote on these topics became known as “Orientalists,” and their subject “Orientalism.” The complex cultural, political, and economic interchanges between West and East over the last two centuries have added layers of connotation. Is “Orientalism” in part imperialist, racist, or anti-Semitic? Today these questions and this topic take on the highest importance, as the Middle East is a focal point of confrontation between religions, cultures, and values.

Dersin İçeriği

This course explores European perceptions of Near Eastern culture as expressed in literature, music, and the visual arts. It addresses these topics in a political and social context, asking also whether and how the humanities can shape and alter such perceptions. We will hope to discover possibilities for being more fully responsive to cultural complexities in today’s global environment.
