Keywords:
Edward Said, compromiso, orientalismo, cultura, Palestina, compromise, orientalism, culture, PalestineAbstract
Al rememorar la dilatada experiencia vital, intelectual, literaria y política de una de las figuras más señeras del pensamiento del siglo XX, Edward Said, hay una palabra omnipresente: compromiso. Toda su extensa obra y su intensa actividad docente, divulgadora y política constituye uno de los mayores esfuerzos de nuestro tiempo por alcanzar soluciones de compromiso con el fin de evitar desembocar en conflictos de consecuencias incalculables, a través de todo tipo de iniciativas: desde las abstracción de las puramente intelectuales hasta la toma de posiciones concretas, desde un activismo político decidido hasta el simbolismo renovador en la creación de entidades culturales mixtas. Compromiso vital, intelectual, cultural, social, político, religioso e, incluso, musical son las claves para entender la singular valía de la figura del pensador palestino Edward Said.

In recalling the extensive intellectual, literary, political and vital experience of Edward Said, one of the greatest figures of Political Thought of the 20th century, a word invariably recurs: compromise. His extensive work and intense academic and political activity constitute one of the greatest individual efforts carried on in contemporary age to reach solutions of compromise so as to avoid conflicts of unpredictable consequences through all sort of initiatives: from the abstract analysis of those of purely intellectual character to the personal commitment with the so-called down-to-earth ones; from a keen political activism to the renewed symbolism of mixed cultural societies. Compromise in every possible way (vital, intellectual, cultural, social, political, religious, even musical) is the key-word to understand the singular value of the Palestinian Edward Said.
