This collection focuses on two discourses of symbolic power (Orientalism and Borealism) during the long eighteenth century. Edward Said's seminal essay canonized the former and pushed into neglect or oblivion other Orientalisms that rely on different understandings of the East vs. West binary opposition. The East is not only the Middle East and the West is not only Western Europe. On the other hand, the North was and still is also othered in several discourses of symbolic power which we feel justified to call Borealisms. This collection is meant to make its readers aware that behind any attempt to classify the Others there is the temptation of power.
