Orientalism in Dominions

[Omnirizon]

Well the beautiful thing about Orientalism is that it is not imperative. So it is not telling you how to interpret something. It is not didactic pedagogy (i.e. telling you how to think). It is Socratic pedagogy (i.e. showing you implications of your thought). It intrinsically believes that everyone is capable of imagining new possibilities, and only tries to show us how our thought does not spring deterministically from a concrete or unitary history. The very act of articulating Orientalism presupposes that all people are capable of new possibilities.
