1) Can you think of examples that show the ‘Orient’ as ‘Other’? As ‘strange’, ‘exotic’, ‘different’, ‘inferior’. Think of examples from your own life, from media including film, news, the internet, art etc. Give at least three arguments with clear statements/facts and examples.
2) What do you think Said meant when he says that the Orient “was almost a European invention”? Give at least three arguments with clear statements/facts and examples.
3) Why would a “representation” of the Orient have a “privileged communal significance… for the West”? What does “representation” mean in this sentence? What does “privileged” mean when used in this way? Make at least three arguments with clear statements/facts and examples.
4) Three conceptual elements that comprise Orientalism: they are a) Orientalist, b) Essentialism and c) Representation.
Representations can never be completely accurate; representations are necessarily selective and subjective. Representations create a new reality. Discuss this statement in relation to Orientalism as well as in how it is used in modern media. Give at least three arguments with clear statements/facts and examples.
5) Edward Said’s arguments are still very valid today. His arguments about ‘essentialism’, ‘representation’ and ‘Orientalism’ all relate to the idea of ‘The Other’. How do his arguments manifest themselves in what is happening in the world today? Not just in relation to ‘Orientalism’, but in relation to ‘The Other’? Give at least three arguments with clear statements/facts and examples.
6) ‘The identification of Orientalist discourse allows its critics to understand how the production of knowledge itself is a marker of the power exerted by the West over the Orient’. How does this power assert itself today in relation to today and to race and inequality outside of the ‘Orient’? Give at least three arguments with clear statements/facts and examples.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND: An (A) grade means you have made excellent use and understanding of readings and a rigorous effort with your analysis and writing and that you have demonstrated clear arguments supported by facts and examples. Original thinking is present. The student’s style and rhetoric are well thought out. An A paper does not summarize. An A paper does NOT just cut and paste ideas. For all intents and purposes, this is an piece of persuasive and expository writing, one that presents an argument with supporting statements and claims, some of which will be supported by research. The writing of an A paper is unified and cohesive. Transitions are clear. Your research is what you already know and our readings in class. The examples you use are clear, specific, and plausible. The A paper takes the relationship between form and content seriously. The A paper is not an easy task. It is not just about being a good student or ‘working hard’, but it’s about taking risks with your own thinking and analysis. There is demonstration of mastery of your material.
