Abstract
This thesis aims to broaden the applicability of Said's concept of Orientalism by reinventing it as Otherism. It does so by taking Louis Althusser's notion of the always already a subject. Furthermore, this thesis specifically shows how this new concept can be applied to the analysis of several works of fiction.
