Odalisques Iconologies

Abstract- Applying the ideas of Edward Said about orientalism and the relationship between
colonialism and culture, we discuss the eurocentric opposition between the Western "I" and the
Oriental "Other". We analyze works by European painters from the 19th century using both the
compared and iconological methods to highlight the marginality of some images and the
centrality of others. We show that such representations are also found in Western law, which acts
as a discourse of the colonial power that is felt at the metropolis and at the periphery, a
discourse that still lives today and still finds resistance and opposition.
Keywords: edward said. european art from the nineteenth century. iconological method. colonial
