Hi there — it’s not my week to post, but I want to share two videos that I use with my high school students (and once with middle school students actually) about the concept of Orientalism:
And this one is from Al Jazeera:
As an interesting aside, the Al Jazeera one had a little box below reading “Al Jazeera is funded in part or in whole by the Qatari government” while the BBC had no such box even though the BBC is likewise government funded, albeit by the British. Orientalism at work?
I hope this helps with your understanding of Said!
