Abstract

Instead of paving the way for political, military, and mercantilist expansion, since the late modern period, Central European Orientalists (predominantly of a Hungarian, Czech, and Polish background) have dedicated increased attention to the ‘East’ on unbiased scientific grounds. Lessons drawn from a frame of reference of corresponding, complex, and comprehensive oeuvres outside of and uncompromised by political agendas allow for rereading Said’s thesis and differentiating geocultural nuances accordingly.
