"They" and "Others": Arab Culture and Art in European Orientalism
Abstract
Orientalism in culture and art is a way of perceiving the "mysterious East" by the artistic world of the West. This is the worldview underlying the exploration of the East by European and American cultures. According to the author, orientalism reflects one of the attempts to westernize the East as a world different from the West. The article analyzes the origins of Orientalism, its worldview, and the main stages of its development. The interpretation of the modern vision of the East, the worldview of post-orientalism, is given.
