Orientalism has been a highly controversial subject matter which was triggered
centuries ago. Various methods have been applied by the Westerners in order to explore
and invade the exotic nature of the Orient so as to conquer it and benefit from all
aspects of the virgin lands. European scholars and European scholarship have performed
the biggest portion of this process since the more the Occident knew about the Orient,
the more power and authority they exerted on the Orient and the Oriental. This, on the
whole, helped the Occident describe and shape the Orient and the Oriental in
accordance with the required policies in an unending time-scope since their policies and
ambitions kept changing over time. Edward W. Said’s invaluable work, Orientalism,
made a great contribution to the area and it also provided essential answers to the
question how the Europeans succeeded in encapsulating the Oriental world in colonized
nations and cultures by way of their studies and scholarships. This study, therefore,
endeavours to highlight Said’s observations on the European scholars and scholarships
as ways of imperialist impositions on the Orient as well as Westerners’ justification and
realization of their projects on the Oriental world.
