Necropolitics and Neo-Orientalism
In the theory of necropolitics, we read how a nation, or a group of people, uses power, both military or political, to dictate how certain people in a region can live and how some must die. The Middle East has been a focal point in US foreign policy for five decades, shaping neo-orientalist discourse, American political rhetoric, policy decisions, presidential elections and, crucially, cultural hegemony through the institution of neo-orientalism.…

The rise of fundamentalist narratives - a post-9/11 legacy? Toward understanding American fundamentalist discourse
Why would a group of writers act in a way that appears to readers as literary fundamentalism, such as post 9/11 American writers?

Fundamentalist narratives have increasingly become the concern of critics and readers over the last two decades. This study aim…

The Fallacy of Neo-orientalism and the Risk of Imperialism
The Muslim world has been plagued by imperial interests, cultural ravaging and plundering, unequal partnership with the West. However, since the September 11, 2001 (9/11) attacks, the Arab world has moved to the center of political and cultural debates and attracted the major number of representations in American writings. These writings form a new phenomenon called neo-orientalism and revolve around a major theme: Muslim Arabs as victims of fund…

Representation of Arab Muslims pervades today’s American political rhetoric. With the increasing focus on the Muslim world in general, and Arab Muslims in particular after the September 11 terror attacks it is necessary to determine how Arab Muslims, their beliefs, roles, responsibilities and aspirations are portrayed. Based on the analysis of John Updike’s novel Terrorist ( 2006 ), the study exposes the consequence of 9/11 rhetorics on the repre…
