"Some criticisms of Said mourn the pre-Saidian days of “true” scholarship when
the Orientalist scholar could pursue knowledge sincerely and presumably innocently,
before Said and his disciples put them under a tainted political and ideological lens.
Now, they claim, academia would never be the same, polluted, as it is by Said’s
“fraudulent” ideas. It is as if, the “Orientals” for the Orientalists are merely passive
objects of study and curiosity, who are not allowed to come to life. We are being
asked to set politics aside and allow academicians to describe and classify as they
will. But aren't these objects of study not people in their own right who have a right to refuse this categorization, especially when these classifications penetrate to the very core of the Other's existence - their real life existence and do not only constitute representations or images on the pages of an Orientalist book, picture or painting, but a real history or past? Not only are we being asked to cast politics
aside, but also life, so to speak, in order to pursue “true” art or scholarship, which
would be totally free of the bias that politics and life would bring to it." Tahrir Khalil Hamdi (2013). Edward Said and Recent Orientalist Critiques.

  • decolonizing physical space and epistemologies at the same time
  • decentring eurocentric knowlegde production& concepts (of time, space,...)
  • pluriversity as an alternative approach to university to create a de-centred and de-provicialized knowledge production 
  • pluriversity as "a horizontal strategy of openness to dialoque among different epistemic traditions"
