'''Orientalism''' was a theory espoused by the late Columbia professor [[Edward Said]] that basically described the stereotyping of "Eastern" peoples (though there are various arguments and interpretations about to what extent and in what circumstances this phenomenon truly takes place, is dangerous, etc.) It is a word that is batted around a lot in humanities classes, especially those in the [[MEALAC]] department, but has also been levelled as a charge against various features of campus life, including [[Cafe East]] and [[Cafe Nana]].

There are various arguments and interpretations about to what extent and in what circumstances this phenomenon truly takes place, is dangerous, etc. Said's contention is that it both justified and enabled colonialism and latter-day practices that concern the projection of power.
