Decadent Orientalisms: The Decay of Colonial Modernity
David FieniDecadent Orientalisms presents a sustained critique of the ways Orientalism and decadence have formed a joint discursive mode of the imperial imagination. Rather than attending to Orientalism as a repertoire of clichés and stereotypes, Fieni reads both Western and Islamic discourses of decadence to show the diffuse, yet coherent network of institutions that have constituted Orientalism’s power.
The book provides much-needed background on contemporary issues relating to France and Islam.
