The pattern of western dominance influenced by Foucault's theory of knowledge and power, the process of creating the other, the separation of East and West, and the attempt to introduce oneself through the introduction of the other left an important impact on Orientalists, both in terms of value (good&bad), and in terms of Behavioral (accepting the values of others and identifying oneself with the other), and epistemological (knowledge or ignorance about the other's identity) crystallized.In the era of colonialism, the West, with a view of the same positivist view, corrected and analyzed the East - such as inanimate nature or the archeological world - in order to show rationality and positivism, which became the basis for their surveillance of the East. The consensus of the West on the lack of civil society as one of the roots of backwardness in the East highlighted the position of discourses related to forces and social institutions in the West, but it was actually a cover for the colonial practices of the West. The reaction of postmodernism to oriental studies provided the basis for the representation of the East and challenged the originality of European reason.The reaction of people like Said to the discourse of Orientalism caused the discourse of Orientalism to be reversed. The discourse of power, whose weaknesses and shortcomings, created a discourse called localism, which criticized the works and thoughts of Orientalism and its negative effects.The findings of the research show that the duality of self (rationalist and active) and the other (lustful and stagnant), which was actually a cover for the colonization of the East, lost its color after the postmodernist efforts of the second half of the 20th century and provided the basis for the representation of Orientalists' ideas.This research is based on library studies and descriptive-analytical methods.
