Unless the lions produce their own historians, the story of the hunt will glorify only the hunter.
Thanks Salman Khan for reminding us this amazing proverb of the Igbo culture.
Preach!!!
Bet you never read any of his works
Scott nice whataboutism
@@jetix382 I've read his book Covering Islam and other articles that appeared in various magazines. The more famous books, Orientalism and Culture and Imperialism are very literary in nature, so I read only some parts. I fancy reading his autobiographical book Out of Place.
I've also read other Postcolonial literature by Frantz Fanon, Jawaharlal Nehru and Gayatri Spivak, besides Muhammad Asad (Leopold Weiss). All very fascinating.
Bravo Al Jazeera English! It is very excellent idea to use animation for explanation of the serious and important issues! Easy to understand for kids and ministers!
Zharas Takenov that is genuinely funny
@@mdr7587 why is it funny?
@@jammiewhammie 🛫🤨🛬
This type of videos is so classy and informative yet not hateful, Aljazeera I love you
Really well done in a few minutes and very clearly describes the main premise of his book which every history teacher should be obliged to read
Thank you for this video. Edward Said always inspires me
the video easily reaches the heart of Orientalism
this art style is absolutely mesmerizing
The music feeds our stereotypes.
Maybe it was the point? So people can really see and spot how it can be manipulative right when watching the video? But I asked myself this too!
That’s infiltration 😂
I love this! this should be available in more languages at least the subtitles
Amazing video!! I loved this message and how profound it is.
Beautiful animation. From the message to the art.
The world will always remember u Edward Said for ur work on Orientalism .
U woke us up straight .
It changes my thoughts totally
This is simply genius! Show this to everybody!
Thank you Al Jazeera for your magnificient job. I use this video at class for my students every year. Grateful for the unvaluable legacy of Edward Said
the best two and half video on yutube thank you for making good video!
Great video, thanks a lot
currently my favorite video on the internet.
This is a great video.
Wow, this was powerful and so simply put at the same time! I wish this was displayed in whole Europe..
I've been too lazy to read the actual book but this video gave awesome insight into the main motif.
Very well organized video.
beautiful, thank you!
Edward Said was like The Clash
For those looking for its background music. It is on Soundcloud, so just search Edward Said Orientalism there.
Do you know its name? Cuz I don't have SoundCloud...
I loved the video and the accent of the narrator.
I learned about Edward Said during my Master's in Journalism and his views are so true. Only better articulated
This is amazing
Watching this in 2023 where this is now abundantly clear.
Good journalism
What is the piece of music used in the background ?
Apparently it's an arrangement of Pavane, Op. 50 by Fauré
Can someone share what music is this?? Who is the artist or composer?
good discussion
The most awaking video I have ever seen.
Please, what the song in the back? i'VE BEEN LOOKING for it for sooo long. Thanks!
It's an arrangement of Pavane, Op. 50 by Fauré
what is the music in the background ??
yeah even i am looking for that music let me know if you got it...
It's a cover of Pavane by Faure...but I don't know the band which plays this cover...
Can anyone tell me the name of the music used?
Thank you for trying to undo the damage perpetrated by a select few who seem to dominate the Western media landscape economically and politically... Funny they never like it when THEY are stereotyped, why should anyone else?
لازم تعيدون نشر هالمقطع عالقناة في ظل هالظروف
Nice design
Can I have the music of the video ? Thanks in advance!
Apparently it's an arrangement of Pavane, Op. 50 by Fauré
@@casualenjoyeroflife thanks!!
Where I can find Russian version?
01:54 - so al-jazeera already knew the reality of Modi back in 2017. wow, good work al-jazeera!
Soy Méxicano aborrezco el futbol, no soy un dealer, y no vivo en una dictadura publica al menos (una de tres aun les queda mucho que aprender)
Why do they act like these places don't do the same thing to us??
His tory, The victor of the War. Gets to tell the story.
God bless.
I click anything Edward Said
Unfortunately for the nations, peoples and cultures that the West despises or looks down upon, the already negative but false perceptions of the "other" will keep for a while yet being splashed out to the world through the prism of colonialist mindset !!!
Said's orient is the foremost an idea
Anyone know the word at 1.35?
Barbarous xxxxxxxxxxx
@@robyngibney3945 thanks einstein
Anyone else got bored and typed "orientalism" in the search bar?
1:34 Jokes on you! Even England, and Scandinavia were called barbarians. (And also Germany, but we're not going to go on from here.)
But this is natural. They had no unified lens through which to tell their history like Europe. They had multiple theories of reality...
I had to watch this in English, have no clue why
Big Ronny J same it’s kinda gay doe
Same here
It makes sense. Edward Said was a literary theorist and his theory on orientalism is often used to identify and understand stereotypes in books (especially colonial literature).
Someone enlighten me. I get what is saying in the video but not why it(orientalism and the problems addressed as the examples in Said's orientalism) is so important and such an issue. I mean I understand it is not right, but I think not everyone can know everything in the world, that stereotypes will just always exist and gonna be a problem and people just need to be more educated and aware of it.
Because these stereotypes create a narrative that justify western interventionism, colonialism, epistemological domination and paternalism towards the east or the primitives that do not live in the western world, WHICH erases the fact that the West is responsible for many of today's problems in the East and Latin America.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:02 🌍 *Colonial representations of the Orient lacked self-representation, relying on Orientalists' interpretations to be deemed credible.*
00:40 📚 *Colonialism propagated through cultural forms like literature and anthropology, shaping a distorted view of the 'East' as exotic, sensual, and depraved.*
01:09 📰 *Modern narratives continue the 'Us' versus 'them' dichotomy, perpetuating stereotypes portraying Africans, Latin Americans, Arabs, and Asians in limited, often negative roles.*
01:36 🎭 *'Orientalism' acts as a lens through which media stereotypes can be recognized, dismantled, and myths unlearned.*

Im on the fence about this... I agree and disagree. IF the the world outside the west does NOT suck then why are all these people risking their lives to come here?
why don't you question why they might "suck" in the first place, are you just another orientalist or did Western imperialism make these places historically and presently unlivable?
we should do occidentalism.... swedes and whatever and americans are the same people
wise man
But so many stereotypes reflect something that is really there.
@@maazkalim Rethink?
With orientalism, the main point is not how accurate the stereotypes are, but rather how they are being used to serve colonial and imperial interests.
@@dimetronome So you would say they are intentionally constructed?
@@ObeySilence Yes, Said demonstrates how European Orientalists deliberately constructed identities as a result of an aversion to Islam to justify imperial military intervention and propagate racist ideologies.
@@1UpSushi The German Kaiser, Julius Evola, Nietzsche and basically all the reactionaries loved Islam. Read up on them. Even the forefathers of current Frenchs Far Right converted to Islam. I would have to look up his name though.
But he never explained HOW islamic colonialist works.
:O
Allah yerhamu ❤️
Humans are a species one race many personalities good and bad 🐱
Making a video against orientalism, yet using it in its music and writing style.
can we ask anyone in any other part of the world how they view Americans or jews … or is this just a one-way lens?
Orientalism is specifically used by Europeans and Americans to serve colonial interests. However, you bring up an interesting point about Jews. Throughout history, Jewish people have definitely been stereotyped in similar ways as people from the “Orient”. For example, even though many Jews have long lived within Western societies, they were still often stereotyped by many Westerners as “the other.” Like people from the Orient, Jews were often stereotyped in art and media as being “mysterious,” “exotic,” “mystical,” or “threatening” to Western civilization.
@@dimetronome you seem to be saying that stereotypes are a western invention
@@jaewok5G you can't be this slow said doesn't say that its only specific to the west what he says is the use of it to justify colonialism using dehumanizing tactics to make the colonialists look more moral and right to use colonialism and here he talks about European colonialism specifically in the last centuries he showes you the tactics used in it . all the invaders used similar tactics to dehumanize the population they wanted to invade from persians the romans the Egyptians.... read what the romans described the germanic tribes .... propaganda is always used in human history
@@jaewok5G Nope, not at all. All people stereotype and always have stereotyped because it is through generalizations that the human mind simplifies and makes sense of a complicated world. I never said that stereotypes were a western invention and I don't know where you're getting that from. In fact, it's mind-boggling that this was what you took away from my comment when I didn't even suggest anything of the sort.
Abonniert MeyMeyMan. Er macht auch so gute Videos wie das hier.
Okay Middle East!
What you have for west beside blood and money?
stereotypes have nothing to do with colonialism. There are stereotypes too among different westener countries (french a lovers/cooks, german engineers,English trade etc....). This video is complete BS. When people are isolated from each other they will produce stereotypes, end of story. No need to add victimhood bs to the mix
🤦
Exactly, they shouldn't, unfortunately for the nations, peoples and cultures that the West despises or looks down upon, the already negative but false perceptions of the "other" are splashed out to the world through the prism of colonialist mindset !!!
Said stresses that the lack of representation of the people outside the west causes for Imperialist policy to be made for them. He talks about this extensively in his book not the question of Palestine.
@@maddyeet9560 the lack of representation of what people outside the west ?
@@manudehanoi colonialism always use dehumanizing tactics to justify its colonialism the history of empires and cultures and how they depict the enemy to make it more moral to take over it its the human history and hes spot on with his analyzing
All these so called "stereotypes" are well justified though.
But the thing about stereotypes is that they are always based on truth
Hush, you.
Truth? LoL , you wouldn't know it if it smacked you in the face
Yes, sometimes stereotypes are based in truth and sometimes they aren’t, but they are always mass generalizations. Orientalism is more concerned with how stereotypes are used, rather than how true they are.
Lol. It would be more convincing if Africans and Asians ain't stereotyping and racist against each other. For the West, you can have any programs you want to "break" the stereotyping and complaining about it. Now, try to have a Christian commercial or a Christian mission in Qatar or Saudi Arabia. Let's see how not stereotypical you really are.
But that's not what this is about. Make your own video about those issues.
@1:51 it shows an 'asian' as software engineer and a Hindu as religious fanatics!! I have never seen West stereotyping Indians as 'religious fanatics' while software engineering field is flooded with Hindu Indians. So, the question is - why did Al Ajazeera intentionally do it? Answer lies in Islam and the hatred/superiority complex Muslims have when it comes to Hinduism. Next time, show a Muslim as a 'religious fanatic' because that's what the entire world thinks!!
You could only make that statement if you are an Hindu or you are from the West and don't know what goes on in India.
In West, most of the IT professionals are Indians, not Asians. I see it everyday. As far as religious fanatics go, we hear it only from Muslim world EVERYDAY!! I don't recall Hindus, Budhists or Christians causing trouble!!
why don't you stop nitpicking the irrelevant things and start thinking about what the video is trying to tell you
Why does it matter? The video is about all these being just stereotypes. Give a wash to your brain please, it smells like biases.
So, you think 'Hindu' is what comes to mind when we think of 'religious fanatics'? Or, muslims? See, your intentionally twisted comment shows that you are a secret Islamist or a racist Christian.
Qatari Jihadist Propaganda house is parroting their comrade
Its funny, because 99% of the stereotypes are true.
You're proving the video's point by commenting that.
More hate skits to target the west Al Jazeera? All nationalities have presumptions and depictions of others. This short video depicts westerners as discriminative colonials, what does that make you? The victim? No, just a disgruntled broadcast.
When I think of the orient, I think of Jews. I think of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who were buried in the Holyland in Hebron. I think about Moses who brought down the tablets from Mt. Sinai. I think about the prophet Elijah who went into the sky in a flaming chariot. I think of Jesus Christ who died for our sins and John the Baptist. I think of Jerusalem, which is the holiest place for Jews in the world. I think of the fact that Jews have lived in the Orient since antiquity and gave the world Monotheism in its modern form, from which both Christianity and Islam are derived. I think of the fact that the Jewish state of Israel is the only refuge for Jews who survived the Holocaust and ethnically cleansed from all the Arabic countries in the 1950's. But most of all, I think about how an Arabic TV network like Al Jazeera is never going to mention a Jew in their publications, unless in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, because for Arab Muslims Jews don't exist as part of the middle-east. Or am I being stereotypical?
If you were smart you would have known that they are only decrypting what Edward w.said had said in his book
You mean the fake Jews of European decent that has colonial territory in Palestine. Yes we do not see them as indigenous of this land. I guess Ethiopians and Yemenite Jews are not treated first class in Israel? Got something to say? Jews actually has contributed in this orientalist and stereotype along with the Europeans!
