Two both aesthetic and political engaged considerations on the relationship between the West and the Middle East (or more generally between the West and its others), from the figures of exile and the two cultures: three unpublished interviews of Edward W. Said / a deconstruction of a common European view on the Arab world by Seloua Luste Boulbina.
Edward W. Said (1935-2003) was a Palestinian American professor of literature at Columbia University, a public intellectual, and a founder of the academic field of
postcolonial studies.
Seloua Luste Boulbina is a French-Algerian
philosopher and political scientist, former program director at the Collège International de philosophie, and researcher at the Université Paris Diderot. A theorist of
decolonialization, she works on colonial and postcolonial issues in their political, intellectual, epistemological, cultural and artistic dimensions.
