초록

The term “Orientalism” was originally used by Western artists and scholars of cultural studies to refer to the imitation or description of aspects of Middle Eastern and East Asian cultures in the West. Since the publication of Edward Said's Orientalism in 1978, “Orientalism” has been used to refer to a general Western attitude towards Middle Eastern, Asian and North African societies. In Said’s analysis, the West regarded these societies as undeveloped and inferior, while Western society was seen as developed, rational, and superior. These aspects of Orientalism are represented in the diasporic society of late 20th century England. After the Second World War, many people from ex-colonies in Asia settled in England. Therefore, in England, there are aspects of Orientalism in both white and diasporic society. This article analyzes the aspects of Orientalism in English diasporic society through the diasporic writer Hanif Kureishi’s novel The Buddha of Suburbia, which deals with the diasporic society in London in the 1970s. Using this text, this article shows how Orientalism affects whites and immigrants and what the British needs for a multi-cultural society.

Abstract

The term “Orientalism” was originally used by Western artists and scholars of cultural studies to refer to the imitation or description of aspects of Middle Eastern and East Asian cultures in the West. Since the publication of Edward Said's Orientalism in 1978, “Orientalism” has been used to refer to a general Western attitude towards Middle Eastern, Asian and North African societies. In Said’s analysis, the West regarded these societies as undeveloped and inferior, while Western society was seen as developed, rational, and superior. These aspects of Orientalism are represented in the diasporic society of late 20th century England. After the Second World War, many people from ex-colonies in Asia settled in England. Therefore, in England, there are aspects of Orientalism in both white and diasporic society. This article analyzes the aspects of Orientalism in English diasporic society through the diasporic writer Hanif Kureishi’s novel The Buddha of Suburbia, which deals with the diasporic society in London in the 1970s. Using this text, this article shows how Orientalism affects whites and immigrants and what the British needs for a multi-cultural society.
