Exile, Language, and Vocation

What is so profound about the experience of an exile? What is the language Said uses to convey this profundity? TOK: How does Said know that this is true for all exiles? Cross-Curricula Link to History: Once again, analyze the historical changes going on from the turn of the 19 th century through the 20 th century. What major events or social/political/scientific shifts occurred that influenced man’s perspectives? Use knowledge from general history as well the historical events specifically important to Edward Said.

Make a list of words and phrases Said uses to express his existential dilemma or his feelings associated with exile. Compare Said’s language with the language of Conrad. TOK: Is the language similarities coincidental or did Said learn from Conrad? In other words, are Said’s thoughts original or was he subconsciously influenced by reading Conrad?

Put into your own words what the vocation of the academic/intellectual is, referring to Said directly or indirectly. IOC: Speak your response as if you are in front of a microphone, working specifically on our oral weaknesses. TOK: Here we clearly see the value of intuitive knowledge to Said. How valuable is intuitive knowledge in today’s world and where does it stand in relation to rational knowledge?

Despite the overall theme of the exile’s isolation and struggle, Said is undeniably optimistic. Where do we see this optimism in his work? What, in your opinion, drives this optimism despite the life events that, one would expect, would make Said pessimistic about the fate of humanity?
