Abstract

Edward Said (1935-2003) developed a unique critical approach that has exerted a profound effect on post-colonial criticism and cultural studies across the globe. In Orientalism, Said unravelled how West made use of East’s knowledge in establishing colonialism. He also exposed rigorously the political narrative hidden beneath almost all intellectual and imaginative constructs. West worked out and then disseminated through print culture in 18^th and 19^th centuries. He put resistance against the monopoly of a single statement and hegemonic structures. Interestingly, Said holds the view that literary critic has a central importance in unravelling all hegemonic and canonical structures. Thus, he suggests the critics that they should not rely on or stick to just abstract ideas, instead they should examine all ideas in the respective social and historical conditions. Said's critical approach is considered complex and multidisciplinary because the histories, societies, social conditions and of course literary texts, the critics have to deal with are complex. This article argues that Edward Said is the founder of the secular critical approach which questions all forms of the dominant discourse.
