Abstract

This study initially seeks to think about the violence of the constitution of the Other that is present in the concept called Orientalism, a theory analyzed by Edward W. Said in his book Orientalism: western conceptions of the Orient . After that, it brings some thoughts that come from the field of Intercultural Ethics, created by the Chilean writer Ricardo Salas, as a way to confirm and, at the same time, show the contradictions of two aspects of Orientalism: the absence of intercultural dialogue and ethical conjectures; and the evidence of a morale that masked the conscious intention of turning natives into commodities and reifying their condition. The idea of intercultural ethics carries fundamental elements for the thinking of a proposal for intercultural education, which should be weaved by the comprehension of recognition. Keywords: Orientalism, intercultural ethics, education.

Não parece possível conservar a humanidade (mas também aqui é importante pensarmos o que estamos entendo por isso) a partir de uma abordagem que tem como fundamento utilizar o conhecimento – Orientalismo – para dominar, explorar e reduzir o outro a objeto gerador de lucro.
