The Emergence of Discourses and Cultural Hegemony
A Study of Edward W. Said’s Orientalism
Edward W. Said (1935-2003) brought out a major disruption in the way the orient understands itself through the discourse of orientalism.

Cartographies of Cloth
Mapping the Veil in Culture and Contemporary Art
As we must know, the hijab has been historically considered in Euro-America a symbol of difference between east and west.

Contemporary veil art has helped inspire some scholarship which has begun to broach the topic of the veil specifically, examining its role in colonial, modernist, feminist, and Muslim discourses, probing…
This book maps the veil in contemporary art to challenge mainstream representations. Arguing for the veil’s multivalence, it explores its myriad meanings and its link to the wider issues of gender, politics, and identity, offering important alternative narratives.
