La métropole est la partie de la France située en Europe. La France possède des territoires dans le reste du monde, dispersés dans les océans. Ce sont les vestiges de l'ancien empire colonial français. Ces possessions d'outre-mer permettent à la France de compter parmi les pays possédant les plus vastes domaines maritimes.
The document provides a detailed overview of the history of literature across various regions and time periods, from some of the earliest examples of writing in Mesopotamia dating back 5,000 years to modern literature. It traces the development of literary forms like poetry, fiction, and drama and highlights influential works within cultures like ancient Greece, Rome, China, India, the Middle East, and Europe from antiquity through the 20th century.
The document discusses the history of the novel in China. It begins by explaining that early Chinese novels were often quasi-historical in nature, retelling or commenting on historical events. Three of the four great Ming Dynasty novels - Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, and Journey to the West - framed their stories within historical contexts. However, later novels moved away from strict histories, focusing more on domestic stories and relationships. The novel's connection to history helped address criticisms of the genre's morality but diminished over time as novels explored more fictional themes.
This document summarizes an introduction to a dossier on Orientalism. It discusses how, 30 years after Edward Said's seminal work Orientalism, perceptions of the Other ("the Orient") from the Western perspective still contain many stereotypes and myths. The introduction notes how globalization has made Eastern cultures more present worldwide, yet stereotypes persist. It briefly reviews Said's thesis that the West has constructed and maintained authority over the Orient through academic study, discourse that positions East vs. West, and styles of domination. The introduction argues the dossier will explore continued relevance of Said's work through articles on topics like history, philosophy, anthropology and literature regarding Eastern Asia.

Orientalism refers to how Western scholars have studied and described the Eastern world, especially Asia. It involves generalizing and stereotyping Orientals as irrational, uncivilized, and crude, while portraying Occidentals as rational, civilized, and sophisticated. This system justified ruling over Orientals and portrayed them as exotic in Western works. While Orientalism helped define the West, it did so by overgeneralizing about Eastern cultures and peoples.
Khalil Gibran Kahlil Gibran was a Lebanese American artist, poet and writer known for his book The Prophet.

The rain is said to emerge from the sea, fall gently yet announce its arrival, and bring joy to nature similar to how human life begins and ends through natural elements.

An Introduction of Orientalism (Post Colonialism Literature)bhumivajani88
The document is an introduction to Orientalism that was submitted by Bhumi Vajani for their MA course. It discusses Edward Said's concept of Orientalism as a style of thought based on distinguishing the Orient from the Occident. Said contends that Orientalism is fundamentally a political doctrine exercised over the Orient, eliding the Orient's differences through constructs of weakness. Orientalism operates as a cultural apparatus and exercises an orientalist will to truth and knowledge through supporting institutions, vocabulary, scholarship, imagery, doctrines, and colonial bureaucracies and styles to exert power, domination, and hegemony.

The genre spread globally through colonialism and translations, with early Indian novels influenced by translations and adapting Western styles to local contexts.

The document summarizes Edward Said's book Orientalism, which argues that European culture constructed itself in opposition to an imagined Orient.

Said believed one cannot understand European imperialism without examining how it produced representations of the Orient. The document also discusses how Said's work can be used as a critical lens to examine Western literature about Eastern cultures, which was often influenced by colonialism and notions of European superiority. It provides context on Said and quotes from his work on Orientalism and cultural imperialism.
