Doğu toplumlarının sahip oldukları zenginliklerin sistematik bir
şekilde sömürülmesinde kullanılan Şarkiyatçılık disiplini genellikle batılı
oldukları söylenebilecek kimseler tarafından icat edilmiş ve yine batılılar
tarafından sömürü işleminin uzun yıllar devam etmesini sağlamak için
kullanılmıştır. Fakat yirminci yüzyılın ikinci yarısından itibaren ve özellikle
Edward Said’in şarkiyatçılığa yaptığı eleştirilerle birlikte bu disiplini
besleyen batılıların bu disiplin içindeki etkinliklerini azalttıklarını ve
kendilerini kenara çektikleri söylenebilir. Onların çekilmesiyle ortaya çıkan
boşluğun ise batı dillerinde beceri sahibi doğulular tarafından doldurulduğu
gözlemlenebilir. Yeni-şarkiyatçılık olarak isimlendirilen bu yeni olguyla
birlikte, doğulu yerel muhbirler güya içeriden edindikleri bilgileri seyahat
yazıları, anı, köşe yazısı veya sosyal analiz gibi formlar içerisinde eski
şarkiyatçılığın yarattığı önyargılarla da karıştırarak batı pazarlarında
piyasaya sürmektedirler. Bu makalede bu konular biraz daha ayrıntılı bir
şekilde ele alınmış ve Libyalı yazar Hişam Matar’ın Erkekler Ülkesinde isimli romanı bu konular bağlamında
incelenmiştir.

Orientalism, which played a key role in the exploitation of
resources owned by the Eastern societies, was born mostly at the hands of the
people with Western origins and carried on by them for a long time. It is possible
to say that people with Western origins remained at bay and stopped feeding
Orientalism openly after the second half of the twentieth century, and
especially after the criticisms of Edward Said. It seems that the emerging
vacuum is filled by the natives who are fluent in Western languages. In this
new phenomenon called as New-Orientalism, the native informant puts his
so-called inside knowledge on the Western market in the form of travel writing,
memoir, journalistic reporting, and social commentary with the mixture of
prejudices created by old Orientalism. In this
article, these subjects have been treated more comprehensively and the book In the Country of Men by the Libyan
author Hisham Matar has been analyzed in their context.
