Journal Article
Int. J. Middle East Stud. 44 (2012)
2012
Overview
(ProQuest: ... denotes non-US-ASCII text omitted.) Discourse and Ideology If one disregards author Daniel Varisco's first aim in this book, namely, critiquing Edward Said's paradigm-busting Orientalism, then one can affirm that his second aim is ably fulfilled, for his book indeed presents a colorful and often enjoyable compendium of what might be called pretheoretical writing on the Middle East. [...]denying the essential point of Orientalism and rejecting its method provide Varisco with an enabling blindness that allows him to develop something like a late medieval florilegium of fanciful and delightful quotations and summaries. Said's premises in Orientalism repel and anger Varisco. \"Because of what Said chooses to highlight in texts, the ability of individual scholars to think, reflect, and reform is negated\" (p. 300).
