Abstract

Began research of the foundations of Orientalist discourse based on force and metadata and authority, and the possibility of turning the West's view of the East as if made ​​radical changes in the structure of the West or in a relationship of power and authority between it and the east. We have adopted in our paper on the research categories of Edward Said and visions in the field of Orientalism in general, and especially his book entitled the name of this area, not forgetting, or leave the expansion to other sources, a researcher in this field, to enrich the research.

We went to Orientalism as a concept and based cognitive, and the work of the Orientalist, and the meanings of Orientalism, which suggests Balastala which was characterized by managers of foreigners in the era of European colonialism in the nineteenth century and early twentieth century, and as a way of thinking texture discrimination existential and knowledge between East and West, and being a Western-style of domination on the east and reconstruction, and bullying him. It also discussed the issue of power and superiority and power in the discourse of Orientalism, as established hypotheses (circular) for the Middle leaning on Darwin's theory, the theory of human races to Renan based on arrogance and superiority, the balance of (scientific) developed by the West to study the peoples of Europe. So Orientalist discourse based on racial differentiation, mental and cultural cooperation between East and West.

They showed the relevance of knowledge to power, and the view of metadata, and the principle of Western power, so incurring the trouble of studying the West, especially the fantasy of the West remain distinct from and superior to it. We explained the difficulty of separation between the (Orientalist discourse) and (the field of international political thought).

And we came out that he may change the West's view Orientalist in the event of changes (radical) in the structure of the West, and perhaps in the event of changes in the balance of power, transmission and pinned down in the Middle of what Islam today a significant impact as a (power), which is extremely dangerous to the Christian West, Islam today is what constitutes balance (force) in the East, which significantly raises concerns Bank and the West only to incur the trouble of education or knowledge to tighten control to be able to prevent it constitute a danger to it again after the imposition of the wide dominance in the past.
