Summary: The west's Orientalism, its construction of an Arabic & Islamic 'Other', has been exposed, examined & expurgated. At the same time postmodern thinkers have employed the motifs & symbols of the Islamic Orient with an ongoing critique of western modernity, an appropriation which runs every risk of becoming a new branch of Orientalism.
