本文从宗教背景切入 ,对殖民文学与后殖民批评所依据的基督教文化背景作了学缘谱系的追溯 ,厘清了赛义德之东方主义的伊斯兰文化与基督教文化之间的紧张关系。从而认为 ,我们的后殖民讨论及文化批判所依据的学理背景 ,就是以儒道释为主脉的华夏东方文化 ,而非赛义德之东方主义。 This essay goes back to the religious background and traced back to the pedigree of the Christian cultural background on which the colonial and postcolonial criticism were based. It clarifies the tension between the oriental Islamic culture and the Christian culture in Saeed. Therefore, we argue that the post-colonial discussions and cultural criticism are based on the academic background, which is mainly based on the Confucianism, Taoism and Eastern Chinese culture, rather than Saeed’s Orientalism.
