Abstract

An important and recurring element of ORIENTal analysis is its constant confirmation of the thesis that the ORIENTal is primitive, barbaric, and incapable of rational selfgovernment. Such a discursive regularity or persistence exists in the discursive processes of ORIENTalist writers and scholars and as shall be seen, contrary to the claims of critics, Robert Southey is no exception. In this article, an analysis of his two major ORIENTal works, THALABA the Destroyer and RODERICK, Last of the Goths will reveal that despite claims made by Sharafuddin, Southey is unable to move beyond the dominant discursive practices of his era. In ORIENTalist texts such as Southey’s, while the relationship between East and West can assume highly dissimilar manifestations, the Westerner rarely loses the upper hand. This flexible positional superiority bolsters the assertion that ORIENTALISM is an ideologically loaded discourse with severely bounded boarders, which regularly influences contemporary critics. However, it is not the purpose of this article either to posit a single, objective West which constructs ‘the OTHER., even though constructions of ‘the OTHER. are in certain significant ways not notably heterogeneous. The concept that an Orient and Occident actually exist and divide humanity into two distinct oceans, however influential, seems clearly to be a fictitious ideological construct.
