《东方主义》方法论之悖论

The Antinomy of Orientalism in terms of Methodology

萨义德的《东方主义》一书在方法论上主要借用了福科的权力-话语理论、葛兰西的霸权理论以及德里达的解构策略。但是萨义德在借用这些理论的时候存在诸多误用与自相矛盾。在借用权力-话语理论的时候重新陷入西方话语霸权的泥潭;在操用解构理论的时候落入结构主义的困境;在借用葛兰西霸权理论的时候误入折中主义立场。

Orientalism is enlightened by Michel Foucault’s theory on power-discourse, Jachque Derrida’s deconstruction strategy and Antony Gramsci’s argumentation on hegemony in terms of methodology. However, when these theories were cited, some misreading occurred. Said falls into the dilemma of reconstructing new discourse hegemony, embraces the theory of structuralism and signifies his standpoint of eclecticism.
