النزعةُ الاستشراقيّة في أدبياتِ الرحّالةِ البريطانيين في القرن التاسع عشر

Abstract

The Orientalist effort often contained different levels, and each level had a method and method. Travel literature is an oriental effort par excellence; If we look at it as an attempt to explore the East, or to search for conditions related to it.

This study is based on analyzing the patterns of British nomadic writings in the nineteenth century, and showing the most important features they combine, especially those that raise ethical and cognitive problems.

  The peculiarity of the nineteenth century comes from the fact that it was the era of European discoveries and mastery that accompanied the colonial movements, that era in which exploration expanded and penetrated into the Arab East.

Deconstructing the discourse of travelers is not an easy matter. Due to their different cultural and moral motives and loads, the religious motive in that period was no longer the key to that discourse; Rather, the complexities of civilization and cultural and political changes have become a factor governing that discourse.

  The discourse of the traveler often arouses pleasure without making the western reader, let alone the eastern reader, feel that he is facing erroneous or imaginary ideas.

As a result, the negative side in the writings of travelers contributes to distorting the truth. And thus works to cause discord between societies; Which often have little to do with the behavior of politicians or ideologues, religious or ethnic.
