From: Robin Vose <[email protected]> Not sure if it's exactly what you are looking for, but I have used this with success in the past as an intro to Said's Orientalism. http://vimeo.com/14326780 R * * * * * From: Enrica Picarelli <[email protected]> wrote: Hi, there are quite a few TV series that invite discussions concerning Orientalism. The first season of Lost, for example, and also Battlestar Galactica and Little Mosque on the Prairie. Perhaps with BSGalactica the issue is not so much Orientalism as 'othering.' A nice essay that tackles this aspect of the show is Matthew Gumper, "Hybridity's End" in T. Potter and C.W. Marshall (eds.) Cylons in America (Continuum, 2008). Good luck with your course.
