Cosa unisce i romanzi #gialli e l'#archeologia? La risposta sembra essere tutta nella vita di #AgathaChristie. Nel 1930 Agatha, durante un viaggio in Iraq, conosce #MaxMallowan, giovane promessa dell'archeologia britannica. Tra i due scatta la scintilla. Dopo pochi mesi dal loro primo incontro si uniscono in matrimonio e iniziano a fare lunghi viaggi in Medio Oriente, trasformando il loro matrimonio in un sodalizio nel quale Agatha affianca con passione il marito nelle sue ricerche. Le ambientazioni esotiche e i personaggi internazionali che incontra le forniscono materiale prezioso per i suoi futuri romanzi polizieschi, aggiungendo profondità e raffinatezza alla sua scrittura. La regina del crimine ha trovato il suo regno. Si estende dai salotti inglesi ai siti archeologici della Mesopotamia. Un regno allo stesso tempo familiare ed esotico, dove il mestiere del detective assomiglia molto a quello di un archeologo.

00:18Today on Passate Presente we talk about Agatha Christie, archaeology, and crime.
00:24But before talking about it, let's look at the highlights of its history.
00:30October 1920. Agatha Christie publishes The Mysterious Affair at Style, the first novel to feature the character of Hercule.
00:40Poirot, the Belgian detective who would become one of his most famous characters.
00:48December 3, 1926. Following an argument with her husband Archibald, Agatha Christie disappears into thin air.
00:57For eleven days the entire nation held its breath.
01:03September 11, 1930. In St. Katberg's Church, Edinburgh, Agatha Christie marries the archaeologist Max Malouan.
01:14From that moment the couple began a series of trips to the Middle East to discover ancient civilizations.
01:26We talk about Agatha Christie with Professor Massimo Cultraro.
01:30Professor Cultraro, I have consulted numerous books and I see that you are regularly called the greatest journalist in history.
01:39Is this an appropriate definition?
01:41Yes, it absolutely is. Considering the amount of products produced, more than 66 novels, it's a huge number of short stories.
01:52then organized into collections.
01:55Let us also add the theatrical activity which is less known but which in the English context was very important.
02:01To this day, after William Shakespeare, she remains the most translated author of all time.
02:07Perfect, so we have summarized everything we need to enter the first chapter where we will see Agatha's training
02:17Christie accompanied by Charlotte Marincola.
02:23On 15 September 1890 in Torquay, an elegant seaside resort on the Devon coast, Agatha Mary Clarissa Miller, better known as
02:33known as Agatha Christie.
02:36His has a happy childhood in a wealthy family that loves literature and favors creativity and
02:43'imagination.
02:44But her father's death, when Agatha was only 11, marked the end of her safe and secure childhood.
02:52The gradual social and economic decline of the family, however, did not hinder Agatha's intellectual and creative growth.
02:59His readings become more sophisticated, his writing attempts more ambitious, he experiments with different forms and styles.
03:08In 1914 she married Archibald Christie, a young officer in the Royal Flying Corps.
03:16The war has already broken out for a few months and Archibald leaves for the front, while Agatha enlists as a nurse
03:23volunteer at Torquay hospital.
03:26It is here that he gains experience in medical procedures and pharmaceutical knowledge, especially poisons and their effects.
03:34Knowledge that, a few years later, would prove invaluable for his stories, in the creation of some of the
03:42most ingenious and believable murder methods in detective fiction.
03:52In 1919, in the immediate post-war period, his daughter Rosalind was born.
03:59It is during this period of adjustment and uncertainty that Agatha begins to seriously consider the possibility of a literary career.
04:08After a long gestation and several editorial rejections, in 1920 he published The Mysterious Affair at Style.
04:17Hercule Poirot, the Belgian detective who would become one of his most famous characters, is born.
04:24The novel is a great success and Agatha establishes herself as a promising new voice in the crime fiction genre.
04:35In her later novels, she demonstrates her versatility as a writer, from the detective story set in the English countryside to the thriller format.
04:44international,
04:45up to the exotic settings in the fascinating Middle East.
04:50In 1924, in the story The Curse of the Egyptian Tomb, Poirot's investigations focus on a series of deaths
04:59suspicious,
05:00linked to an archaeological discovery and its alleged curse.
05:06For a time, Agatha seems to successfully balance her roles as wife, mother, and writer.
05:13professional.
05:14But her marriage to Archibald is falling apart.
05:19In 1926 her mother died and for Agatha it was a loss that would have consequences on her emotional stability and her
05:26marriage.
05:27It is during this time of pain and vulnerability that Archibald asks for a divorce.
05:37On the evening of December 3, 1926, following an argument with Archibald, Agatha Christie disappeared into thin air.
05:50His car was found in Surrey, on the edge of a chalk quarry.
05:55In the vehicle was a note with a cryptic message suggesting she might never return.
06:04Police launch a massive search operation.
06:08For 11 days the entire nation held its breath.
06:14Agatha was found in a hotel in Yorkshire on 14 December 1926.
06:21He says he doesn't remember anything and the whole story remains forever shrouded in mystery like a tale worthy of the
06:30pen of the queen of crime.
06:36Professor Cutraro, Agatha Christie and the cinema, I would first like to ask Maria Sole Sanasi,
06:44What does he know about books and literature and cinema, what does it mean?
06:51Is Agatha Christie's fame due to this relationship?
06:55Well, it's an important relationship because Agatha Christie's is a one-of-a-kind thriller.
07:03precisely thanks to the particular strong and immediately recognisable personalities of its protagonists
07:10which also favored its success on the small and big screen.
07:15I think of the characteristics of her most beloved characters, the seemingly ditzy Miss Marple
07:21and those of Hercule Poirot, obsessively precise, methodical, gifted with exceptional intuition and analytical skills
07:30but also eccentric in his sophisticated tastes, these things have all contributed to making him immortal
07:37Christie's style, also thanks to the masterly interpretation of actors such as Peter Justinov
07:44who was Poirot in Murder on the Nile in 1978 and Crime in the Sun in 1982
07:52along with an ever-stellar cast like David Neven, Beth Davis, Angela Lesbury
07:58who is an actress who played the role of Miss Marple in The Mirror Crack'd in 1980
08:07this film with Elizabeth Taylor thanks to the subject with Christie's biting irony
08:13It is also a tribute and a parody of the world of Hollywood and of the clichés of the detective story itself.
08:20so there are many other cinematic transpositions, for example of Ten Little Indians
08:29and then there were none left from '74 with our Adolfo Celi
08:34and also the brilliant films that paid homage to Christie's thrillers
08:39exasperating them as an invitation to dinner with the murder of '76
08:43with the extraordinary participation of a hilarious Truman Capote in his only film appearance
08:50It seems to me to be a more than complete review, perhaps this is what makes it successful
08:57but even Agatha Christie was recently dedicated to her at one point
09:02a film about that mystery of her disappearance because she became famous
09:08but we've seen it on the front pages of newspapers around the world
09:13why did she disappear at a certain point what is this disappearance this mystery that concerned Agatha's life
09:20Christie
09:21It is a key episode in Agatha Christie's life that still retains many grey areas.
09:27At first it was thought to be a deliberate and organised choice by the author herself to publicise herself
09:36same
09:36but the local police in Devon were instead thinking of a solution of a different nature
09:45no one ever thought that she committed suicide for character reasons due to the fame she had
09:51it seemed like the intent was to place the blame for an alleged crime directly on the husband
09:58But is it true that she checked into a hotel using her lover's and husband's last names?
10:05Yes, that's absolutely true.
10:07She was discovered by her husband when a person very similar to her was reported in a Yorkshire hotel
10:13and the husband, looking at the register, reads and recognizes his wife's handwriting
10:20and he is surprised to read the name, the surname of this woman Teresa Niel
10:25Niel was the lover's surname
10:27It's a phenomenon that Cresti also experiences on other occasions
10:31which in psychiatric studies is interpreted as retaliatory memory
10:38that is, a little wind directly on whoever comes
10:42Then she said she didn't remember anything about that episode.
10:45After her daughter's death in 2001, the report of the psychiatrist Brown who had treated her was published.
10:53The diagnosis was dissociative fugue
10:56or rather a particular pathology that Cresti had already experienced in the past
11:01and which involved memory loss or partial memory recovery
11:06So you dear viewers will have understood why we have dwelt on these two moments
11:12the cinema and this episode
11:15because they are the ones who gave something extra to Agatha Christie
11:20which we will now learn about all the other aspects of his life
11:25starting from the second chapter
11:27always under the guidance of Charlotte Marincola
11:32To leave the issues related to divorce behind
11:36and to escape the pressing attention of public opinion
11:40Agatha Christie decides to take a trip to the Middle East
11:43Its exotic charm, its ancient history, its archaeological treasures
11:48offer the perfect combination of intellectual stimulation
11:52and emotional distance from the painful memories of his life in England
11:56After embarking on a journey across half of Europe on the legendary Orient Express
12:01and then by car across the desert
12:04in 1928 he arrived in Baghdad
12:07where the archaeological exploration of Mesopotamian civilizations
12:11was revealing new insights into the origin of human culture
12:15The presence of British and international archaeological teams in Iraq
12:20has created a cosmopolitan community of scholars and adventurers passionate about culture
12:25Agatha Christie is welcomed into their circle
12:29and introduced to the fascinating world of archaeological discoveries
12:32From that moment on, a new and exciting chapter in his life begins.
12:42During his stay in Iraq
12:44Agatha Christie becomes friends with British archaeologist Leonard Wolley
12:48and his wife Catherine
12:51Together with them he visits the ancient city of Ur
12:55Then in 1930 during his second trip to Iraq
12:59Agatha meets Wolley's assistant
13:02Max Malowan, a promising young figure in British archaeology
13:06He is 13 years younger than Agatha
13:09but a spark ignites between the two and they fall in love
13:12A few months after their first meeting
13:15in September 1930 they got married
13:21In Greece during their honeymoon
13:24Agatha clashes with the archaeologist's temperament
13:27locked inside the museum for hours
13:29in an attempt to decipher a particularly obscure inscription
13:33while outside everything, Agatha Christie will say, is a marvel
13:39He is an intellectual and I am not.
13:41but we are complementary and we have always helped each other
13:48From that moment Agatha and Max undertake a series of trips to the Middle East
13:53turning their marriage into a dungeon
13:56which makes Agatha a passionate collaborator of her husband
14:01While Max conducts his archaeological work
14:04Agatha writes, observes and develops her expertise on ancient civilizations
14:09thus feeding his literary activity with lived experiences
14:15The exotic settings and international characters he meets
14:19They provide her with valuable material for her future detective novels
14:24The Parker Pine short story collection
14:27and novels like Appointment with Death
14:30draw directly on his experiences in the Middle East
14:33which play a strong influence on character construction
14:36and add depth and sophistication to his writing
14:42Sometimes among the characters in his stories
14:45people met during the travels are hidden
14:48In the 1936 novel There Is No Escape
14:52set in Iraq
14:54Louise Leidner, murdered with a shot to the head
14:58It is a realistic and biting portrait of Catherine Walley
15:03It is the first novel in which Agatha Christie
15:06describes the daily life of the director of the excavations at Ur in Iraq
15:10Also in the 1937 novel Poirot on the Nile
15:14the accurate description of the places is the result of direct knowledge
15:19to archaeological sites such as Luxor, the Pyramids of Giza and the Valley of the Kings
15:25The queen of crime has found her kingdom
15:28It extends from English living rooms to the archaeological sites of Mesopotamia
15:33A kingdom that is both familiar and exodic
15:36where the detective's job is very similar to that of an archaeologist
15:45Here, Professor Quotraro, is one of the reasons for Agatha Christie's success.
15:50because you know, anyone can write a mystery novel
15:52but a thriller that has the world of archaeology as its background
15:57well, that's something really unique that she has
16:00I would also add to what she says the deliberate choice of the Middle Eastern scenario
16:07which has always strongly seduced European circles
16:10particularly those of Victorian and post-Victorian England
16:14Yes, in some ways, she becomes an archaeologist because she frequents her husband.
16:19understands the difficulties, appreciates the organizational aspects of an excavation mission
16:25even if she is not always satisfied with this desired total isolation
16:30that the archaeologist experiences in relation to the rest of society
16:33And why do you think archaeology is a more appropriate backdrop for a crime, for a detective story?
16:41There are two elements that mark Agatha Christie's life
16:45The first is the trip to the Middle East
16:49he discovers an Orient different from how he had seen it in books, in prose, in literature, in poetry
16:56What is the difference that strikes you most?
16:59It is above all a British tradition linked precisely to Victorian English archaeology.
17:06which pushes into what remains of the old Ottoman Empire
17:12in search of biblical places
17:15and therefore archaeology becomes a tool to certify the existence of places narrated in biblical texts
17:22This is the first element
17:23The second element is the extraordinary discovery made by Howard Carter
17:28in the famous treasure of Tutankhamun
17:33and what comes next
17:34that is, the reconstruction of this mysterious legend
17:38of a curse from the pharaoh
17:41on all those who participated in the discovery of the tomb
17:44I wanted to add that there is an important passage
17:46because Agatha Christie's mother, Clara
17:49she was linked to the Lotto Theosophical Society
17:53she was a spiritualist
17:55In fact, what strikes me is that she
17:58already when she was still married to Archibald
18:02she was gifted for these topics
18:04isn't this something that happened after his second marriage?
18:08No, it was even born first
18:10for example when he invents the character of Archul Poirot
18:13there is passion, attention to the seduction caused by the mystery
18:19mystery connected to aspects that intelligence
18:23rationality cannot grasp
18:24so once again the spirit
18:26Two things that have always intrigued me
18:29One, the irony
18:30this ability to spice up thrillers with irony
18:34Second, one thing
18:36I don't know if she noticed
18:38that during the fascist era his books were translated in a very bizarre way
18:44Italy is one of the first European countries to adopt the work of Christi
18:52thanks to the ingenious invention of Arnoldo Montadori
18:55who actually invented the detective series
18:57And the impact it has on Italian culture is remarkable.
19:02why the books of Christi
19:04The country that most welcomes Agatha Christi
19:07Yes, the more it welcomes, the more it modifies
19:11Exactly, because this is precisely the topic that they were asking her.
19:14but why fascism?
19:15Because there is a problem with the transmission of some elements in the meantime
19:22typically Anglo-Saxon in Italian culture
19:26agree to reduce the use of foreign terms as much as possible
19:31but the operation is even more complex
19:33because for example it is everything that in Christi's novels
19:37refers to Italy is deleted
19:40An example for all is the assassination on the Orient Express.
19:44which in Italy is translated very bluntly
19:47with simply Oriente Espress
19:50it features two protagonists who are both Italians
19:53a criminal of Italian-American origin
19:56and a traveling salesman
19:58In the Italian translation by Alfredo Pitta
20:00who is the first translator of Christi
20:04they both disappear
20:06in favor of a Brazilian and an Englishman
20:09Magnificent, and where does the irony come from?
20:12Irony and I would also say self-irony
20:14as long as he got it directly from his father
20:17the father was of American origins
20:20and made fun of his English cousins
20:23which I believe he inherited
20:25you can see it in his autobiography
20:27which is published posthumously
20:29the sense of irony and self-irony is strong
20:32but the whole biography is a hidden life
20:35reconstructed afterwards
20:37where she makes fun of her own person
20:40and those who live around her
20:42and that's what makes the myth great
20:45because she is describing us
20:47a matryoshka
20:50first there are those yellow ones that we all know
20:53behind a personal story
20:55the disappearance
20:56behind again
20:58archaeology
21:00behind still theosophy
21:02and then
21:03he's a character
21:05unique in the history of world literature
21:08it has so many aspects
21:10he is a character with a thousand shades
21:14polychromatic
21:15let me use it
21:16the metaphor of archaeology
21:18it's like a stratigraphic excavation section
21:22where we have different levels
21:23that overlap
21:24they complement each other
21:26and it's no coincidence that she uses metaphor a lot
21:29of the archaeological excavation
21:30also as an introspective activity
21:33to get to know each other better
21:34one's own destiny
21:36so let's go and see
21:36why this
21:37the excavation
21:39will be the protagonist
21:40of the third chapter
21:41of our history
21:42but always under the guidance
21:44by Charlotte Marincola
21:48towards the end of the 30s
21:50Agatha Christie
21:52thanks to friendship
21:53with the Egyptologist
21:54Stephen Glanville
21:55can access
21:56directly
21:57to some papyrus
21:58in which we speak
21:59of the pharaoh
22:00Akhenaten

22:03traditional polytheism

26:05there is Max
26:05companion on many journeys
26:15adventurous
26:17for the time
26:19where she lived
26:21from what we've seen
26:22in the video
26:24it came to me
26:25an immediate association
26:27the excavation
26:27he is related
26:28of psychoanalysis
26:29these are the years
26:31of psychoanalysis
26:32those in which
26:33she becomes a writer
26:34and dig
26:36and she is fascinated
26:37from the excavation
26:38and from this
26:40multidimensionality
26:41of the human soul
26:44which then leads
26:45to the crime
26:46yes absolutely true
26:48let's remember that
26:49these are the years
26:50in which
26:51Sigmund Freud
26:52he moves
26:53from Vienna
26:54in London
26:54meets
26:55also Agatha Christie
26:57Freud was
26:59a deep enthusiast
27:01of the character
27:03par excellence
27:03the founder
27:04the father
27:04of the new archaeology
27:06which is
27:06Heinrich Schliemann
27:07he would have liked to do
27:08as a young man
27:09the archaeologist
27:10so this attention
27:12to stratigraphy
27:13to work
27:14layer after layer
27:15then becomes
27:16the method
27:17par excellence
27:18applied
27:19to psychoanalysis
27:20as well as
27:21in the field
27:21of the human sciences
27:23Christie
27:24makes one say
27:24to Poirot
27:25in the crime on the Nile
27:27I feel a strong emotion
27:29in removing
27:31in taking out
27:32this object
27:33moving the earth
27:34because by removing
27:35the wrapper
27:36that hides it
27:37it will come out
27:38the truth
27:39the pure truth
27:40you understood
27:42dear
27:43viewers
27:45that I am
27:46novels
27:47psychoanalysts
27:49those
27:49by Agatha Christie
27:51Rita Cioffi
27:52Christie
27:53Also
27:53if I remember correctly
27:54a yellow
27:55historical
27:57yes exactly
27:59Indeed
27:59in 1944
28:00Agatha Christie
28:01public
28:02the only yellow
28:03historical
28:03from the title
28:04The Atkins
28:05As The End
28:06set
28:07in 2000
28:07B.C.
28:08in ancient Egypt
28:09the idea had been
28:10initially suggested
28:12from the friend and Egyptologist
28:13Stefan Glendil
28:14but Christie
28:15it was initially
28:16hesitant
28:17because he thought
28:18of not being
28:18via ferrata
28:19on the topic
28:20he convinced himself
28:21to continue
28:22in the work
28:22after reading
28:23of the papyrus
28:24by Ecanact
28:25discovered
28:25within
28:26of a burial
28:27in 1921
28:28and unanimously
28:30considered
28:30among the historical sources
28:32most important
28:33to know
28:34private life
28:35middle class
28:36at the beginning
28:36of the Middle Kingdom
28:37it is in fact
28:39of 5 personal letters
28:40and 3 lists of accounts
28:42addressed
28:43to the members
28:43of one's family
28:44from an officer
28:45we could say
28:45minor
28:46and I am a document
28:47very important historian
28:49because they provide
28:49information
28:50on society
28:51of ancient Egypt
28:52on an economy
28:53agricultural
28:53pre-monetary
28:54essentially based
28:56on barter
28:56but they are also
28:57the only source
28:58before the New Kingdom
28:59to provide us
29:00the point of view
29:01of a farmer
29:02given the notable
29:04amount of information
29:05private
29:06we could say
29:07more than official
29:08the Ecanact papyri
29:09I am
29:10of the fragments
29:11of life
29:11which they provided
29:13to Agatha Christie
29:13even the matter
29:14Before
29:15to make
29:16vividly
29:16and realistically
29:17the setting
29:18of his own novel
29:19Therefore
29:20she is tempted
29:22Also
29:22to advance
29:24new lands
29:26then he lets it go
29:27but this historical mystery
29:29what does it mean?
29:30there is seduction
29:31once again
29:32coming from
29:33from Egypt
29:34remains passionate
29:36from the story
29:36of this priest
29:37and his relatives
29:38who suffer
29:39at a delicate moment
29:41of history
29:41of Egypt
29:42and then it becomes
29:43Exactly
29:45the central element
29:46for a story
29:47which can become historic
29:49but it's the only attempt
29:50what does he do
29:51he doesn't love
29:51the historical context
29:53because it requires
29:54a philological rigor
29:55a note of caution
29:57to the contextual data
29:59that she doesn't love
30:00just read
30:02Here you are
30:03how it is organized
30:04the same figure
30:05by Hercule Poirot
30:06to understand
30:07that the contexts
30:08they vary
30:09and I'm always
30:10in relation
30:11to the character
30:11what sense
30:11professor
30:12Why
30:12what's so special about it?
30:14Hercule Poirot
30:15Poirot
30:16Poirot has
30:17the peculiarity
30:18to be a character
30:20which is never the same
30:21in the same novels
30:23is born
30:24it forms
30:26at a certain time
30:27When
30:28in the first novel
30:29we know
30:29to be a refugee
30:31coming from Belgium
30:32but then
30:33from time to time
30:34in the individual novels
30:35we find
30:36new elements
30:37with the context
30:38which is never
30:39a determining element
30:41in the choice
30:42and in decisions
30:43of the character
30:44it's just
30:44a scenario
30:45inside which
30:46the man moves
30:47and why he does it
30:49she to change him
30:50continuously
30:51the features?
30:52because it turns out
30:54in the biography
30:55that even
30:56in 1946
30:57Poirot was ready
30:59to be definitively
31:01died
31:01it still makes him live
31:03he loved
31:04he loved to vary
31:05create new characters
31:06new contexts
31:07it's curious
31:09that in 1946
31:10what had become
31:12the source of wealth
31:13Agatha Christie
31:14he used to say
31:15it's my factory
31:16of sausages
31:17because every year
31:19had to produce
31:20at least two novels
31:21of character
31:22yellow
31:24and Poirot
31:25in the end
31:26survives
31:27and he will die
31:28Alone
31:28in the latest novel
31:31the curtain
31:32at one year
31:32from death
31:33so much so that
31:34herself
31:35then he joked
31:36on this
31:36he will say
31:37it's a
31:38bad prophecy
31:40and Miss Marple
31:43she too
31:44follows the same
31:45destiny
31:45of the investigator
31:47Belgian
31:48and it will end
31:49to die
31:50more or less
31:52in the same years
31:53by Poirot
31:54but he is a character
31:55different
31:55he's a character
31:57where is it
31:58condensed
31:58Very
31:59of life
32:00of the experience
32:01of Christie
32:02in the relationship
32:02with women
32:03who have marked
32:04his life
32:05the mother
32:06the aunt
32:06and the grandmother
32:07Therefore
32:08it is the incarnation
32:09of this world
32:10in the feminine
32:10there too
32:11ironic
32:12Yes
32:13it's very ironic
32:14she is self-deprecating
32:15she is self-deprecating
32:17there is a lot
32:17there is a lot of self-irony
32:19Why
32:20herself
32:21he used
32:22define
32:23Miss Marple
32:24like a
32:25housewife
32:26lent
32:26to the investigation
32:28police
32:29after all
32:30our viewers
32:31they will have seen
32:32in those fragments
32:33of interview
32:34Agatha Christie
32:36truly rare
32:37that we have
32:38transmitted
32:39that everything was there
32:41the maximum
32:42of humor
32:43English
32:44a character
32:45that she and I
32:45we love
32:47let's give
32:47to whom
32:48he loves it
32:49like us
32:49the books
32:51to be able to do so
32:52go into detail
32:52At that time
32:53must
32:54necessarily
32:55start
32:56from the autobiography
32:58which is published
32:59at one year
33:00from death
33:00and that in Italy
33:01I have to say
33:01it is very successful
33:02with continuous
33:04re-editions
33:05there is a lot
33:06of childhood
33:08it is well translated
33:10it is well translated
33:11Yes
33:11it's a great translation
33:12the Italian one
33:13they emerge
33:14many elements
33:15on childhood
33:16and of the writer
33:18but let's keep in mind
33:20what I was saying
33:21it's a reconstruction
33:22very hidden
33:23of a lifetime
33:24reread
33:25in different stages
33:26of one's existence
33:28Then
33:29I add
33:30yellow fairy tales
33:31which is the only one
33:32meridian
33:32dedicated
33:33to Agatha Christie
33:34collects
33:35of the stories
33:36minors
33:37some of which
33:38I'm never
33:39been translated
33:39in Italy

33:41excellent operation
33:43of collection
33:44what an invitation
33:45to read
33:45the third
33:47to give
33:49the context
33:50historical
33:50within
33:51of which
33:51he was moving
33:52Christie
33:52it is the famous
33:54Work
33:54by Edward Said
33:55Orientalism
33:57which allows
33:59to understand
34:00what is
34:00the perception
34:01that they had
34:01the Europeans
34:02of the Middle East
34:03However
34:04the problem
34:05by Said
34:06is that
34:06try to generalise
34:08to see
34:08a Europe
34:10towards
34:11of the East
34:12it's an Orient
34:12who looks
34:13towards Europe
34:14it's an excess
34:15opposite
34:15falls on the other
34:16part of the horse
