Paper Summary:

What is Orientalism? How does the past and future differ? What are the important elements of Orientalism? This is a report on the postmodern future with the theme focusing on how Orientalism demonstrates a consistent character throughout history with different elements such as stylistic moments, diversity of opinions, and different fashions, and emphasis on art.
