Decadent Orientalisms: The Decay of Colonial Modernity

by David Fieni

Decadent 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 clich s 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.
