20.500.12556/DKUM-41519 EAST AND WEST IN R.P. JHABVALA'S HEAT AND DUST VZHOD IN ZAHOD V HEAT AND DUST The aim of this diploma paper is to analyze the dynamic of East and West encounter and the problems that ensue when the cultures of East and West meet in the novel Heat and Dust by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala. The author is a westerner, who lived in India for the most part of her adult life and therefore had a unique position of insider – outsider. She is able to observe the dynamic from a detached point of view. She uses orientalist discourse that puts West above East, but because Jhabvala uses irony, she mocks this kind of attitude and this classifies the text as post-colonial. Within this dynamic, I also explored the relationship between men and women, as well as women in India. The relationships in the novel can not prosper because of the cultural differences, supporting the Forsterian idea that East and West can never be friends. Another aim of this diploma is to explore the background of orientalist discourse as explained by Edward Said in his book Orientalism. Said explains the development of orientalism and how the orientalist discourse feeds it. Namen te diplomske naloge je analizirati dinamiko odnosa med Vzhodom in Zahodom in probleme, ki se pojavijo ob srečanju kultur Vzhoda in Zahoda v romanu Heat and Dust avtorice Ruth Prawer Jhabvala. Avtorica je rojena na Zahodu, večino svojega odraslega življenja pa je preživela v Indiji, kar ji je omogočilo unikaten in objektiven pogled na to dinamiko. Uporablja orientalistično izrazoslovje, ki postavlja Zahod nad Vzhod, vendar z uporabo ironije takšen odnos degradira, to pa uvršča njen roman med postkolonialistične tekste. Znotraj te dinamike sem bolj podrobno raziskala odnose med moškimi in ženskami ter tudi položaj žensk v Indiji. Odnosi v romanu ne uspevajo zaradi kulturnih razlik, kar podpira Fosterjevo idejo, da Vzhod in Zahod nikoli ne moreta biti prijatelja. Drugi namen diplome je raziskati ozadje orientalističnega izrazoslovja, kot ga pojasnjuje Edward Said v svoji knjigi Orientalism. Said pojasni razvoj orientalizma in kako ga orientalistično izrazoslovje podpira.
