TAYEB SALIH, Season of Migration to the North: Orientalist Archetypes as Colonial Desire

This episode will focus on Tayeb Salih’s Season of Migration to the North to argue that the novel demonstrates the interplay between orientalist archetypes and colonial desire. However, unlike what we find in Fanon’s Black Skin, White Masks, Mustafa Sa’eed deliberates encourages being seen via such archetypes so that he can activate sexual desire in the many white women he takes to his bed in London. This continues until he meets his wife Jean Morris, who, rather than continue with the interplay of orientalist archetypes, completely abrogates them in favor of that tragic figure of Othello via which she seeks to provoke in Mustafa both jealousy and desire. He ends up strangling her on their marriage bed but is not bold enough to take his own life, thus only partially fulfilling the tragic morphology of the Othello archetype and thus living to regret his failure for the rest of his days. +++++++++++++ Follow on: Twitter:   / criticreading   Facebook:   / criticreadin.  .
