<br/><br/>1. The scope of Orientalism -- <br/>2. Orientalis structures and restructures -- <br/>3. Orientalism now. 
<br/><br/> Surveys the history and nature of Western attitudes towards the East, considering orientalism as a powerful European ideological creation - a way for writers, philosophers and colonial administrators to deal with the 'otherness' of eastern culture, customs and beliefs. Tracing this view through the writings of Homer, Nerval and Flaubert, Disraeli and Kipling, whose imaginative depictions have greatly contributed to the West's romantic and exotic picture of the Orient.
