#orientalism — Public Fediverse posts

On the irony of Ashkenazi Jews using "looking European" as a rhetorical weapon against Palestinians [apropos of #Wix's "unlike the Gazans, we look and live like Europeans or Americans,"] meet Esther Schreiber, non-archaeologist with inflated CV and an elaborate cloth headscarf resembling a tea towel (a "tichel")... This one was appointed by Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu to lead the Israel Antiquities Authority. Eliyahu also advanced a bill to create a "Judea and Samaria Heritage Authority" for occupied West Bank, replacing military archaeology officer, with land expropriation powers in Areas A+B+C. Eliyahu said it's "an interim stage until full sovereignty."

Now I'm gonna journal my thoughts on everything I experienced today and what I learned from it like a classical scholar — except I'll write it the way Orientalists wrote about Muslims, but this time about the empire’s own inhabitants, to troll future archaeologists and historians.

"The Petitioner," Osman Hamdi Bey, 19th Century.

Osman Hamdi (1842-1910) was quite a fellow; a museum curator, art expert, archaeologist, writer, and all-around intellectual as well as being an influential painter.

Son of a high-ranking official in the Ottoman Empire, he studied art and art history in Paris, before returning to the Ottoman Empire and serving in various official capacities before being named the director of the Imperial Museum. There he worked to modernize archaeology and prevent the smuggling of artifacts out of the country. And all the time, kept on painting.

His work seems to copy the "orientalism" of European artists, which generates controversy today, as some view it as racist. But his work depicts Ottoman culture and tends to show his subjects (often modeled by family members) in active and intellectual roles. He's now seen as subverting Orientalism for his own purposes.

"In the battle of propaganda, fake videos and images of female victims of Iran’s government are going viral, with even the US president sharing them. Al Jazeera’s Soraya Lennie explains how Iranian women, real or fake, are often used to sell foreign intervention."

And you guessed it, the company behind this AI slop is israeli.

I've never thought of myself as some kind of intellectual. But wow… my intelligence has never felt so insulted before. Subhanallah. I think I have let people get away with that a lot. The next time people project their own limitations and shortcomings onto me, clearly my civility and structured arguments at that point are serving their comfort. So I'll engage at the level they understand the moment they pull a DARVO on me by taking my critique of their frameworks and worldviews, which are influenced by the systems surrounding them, as a personal attack on their person.

"Who the fuck do you think you're speaking to, and tell me what exactly makes you think your argument and political stance are so fucking unique and easily misunderstood? Again, who the fuck do you think you're speaking to?" shall be my default response if they take my critique of their frameworks as a personal attack.

I wasn't made to forgive Western imperialism and excuse moral relativism and structural anti-intellectualism wrapped in social justice language and respectability politics. Y'all can choke.

You're free to remain in your ignorance and political incoherence while acting victimised by my very global south take, continuing your cosplay as anti-capitalists or anti-imperialists, and assimilating. In other words, live your life as usual, comrades.

"Stop patronising hijabi Muslim women by telling them to consider how other Muslim women may find hijab oppressive, as if we have not already done so.

We know how religion is weaponised in places where Muslims are the majority. We also know how your governments weaponise anti-Muslim rhetoric globally, and we understand where Islam stands in the global order.

Who are you trying to fool here?

Treating Muslim subjects as if we are insulated from that order and reminding us that “contradictions exist” is a projection of the privilege enjoyed by those who benefit from that system."

"Muslims are not neutral subjects in the global order, and Islam is already positioned as suspect within it. The conversation about hijab does not happen in a vacuum. Take authoritarianism in Iran, for example.

Instead of seeing authoritarianism as inherently gendered and violent, as an inevitable feature of patriarchy, as a system that justifies itself by co-opting any moral framework, you view it as either “uniquely Islam”, an “Abrahamic religions issue”, or “proof that all religions are oppressive.” Why don’t you name a secular, non-authoritarian, non-misogynistic nation-state, then?"

Statements such as this reveal a lot about the cultural biases of their authors: „The whole social contract of Dubai involves a wilful blindness to the proximity of suffering and violence. After all, Gaza is geographically close.“ While the first statement is obviously true with regards to the internal tensions of the emirate, the second pertinently isn’t! The geographic distance between Dubai and Gaza is only one hundred kilometres shorter than the distance between Gaza and Rome! Speaking Arabic doesn’t move any two points on the planet’s surface closer to each other.

I don't like how fellow Muslims talk about Islam to Western audiences. It's always defensive. Taking the offensive stance once in a while is necessary. Islam doesn't need defending. It's those who paint it as dangerous that need to explain themselves.
