这是一篇关于框架和语境化的文章。它试图在世界历史背景下解释现代中东在本世纪所经历的政治和文化转型，以更好地帮助我们理解该地区目前向伊斯兰政治形式转变的意义。我的论点是，学者们误解了该地区民族主义出现的世界历史意义，他们误解了它与东方主义以及更广泛的欧洲启蒙运动的关系，并且（因此）在很大程度上误解了伊斯兰挑战的性质。在许多方面，我在这里的思考源于对东方主义的一些批评者定位现代性的方法的不足（认识论和世界历史的）的不满。
This is a essay about framing, about contextualization. It seeks to situate the political and cultural transitions the modern Middle East has undergone in this century in their world historical contexts, the better to help us understand the meanings of the present shift to Islamist forms of politics in the region. It is my contention that scholars have misunderstood the world historical significance of the emergence of nationalism in the area, that they have misconstrued its relationship to orientalism and to the European enlightenment more generally, and (as a result) largely misunderstood the nature of the Islamist challenge. In many ways my reflections here spring from a dissatisfaction with the inadequacies (both epistemological and world historical) of the ways in which some critics of orientalism have located modernity.
