AB - This paper aims to analyze Suzanne Voilquin’s Orientalist discourse, based on the insights of the modern Orientalism proposed by Edward W. Said. Suzanne’s descriptions on customs, particularly on women of Egypt, sometimes betraying her ethnographic bias, clearly show the attitude full of her belief in her Saint-Simonian apostolic life. From such a sublime aspect of Suzanne’s Saint-Simonian mission, no doubt, a solemn sacrifice or a kind of holiness in a brutal and hideous misery, we can distinguish the Saint-Simonian mission from the discourse of the Orientalist-Romantic traveler who, based on the externality, presuppose a return trip. Nevertheless, it is true that the dichotomization of the Orient and the Occident is articulated and preserved through cultural prejudices of Suzanne’s memories. Suzanne’s representations on the Orient, even if they have their own characteristics, different from the dominant Orientalist discourse of the time, appear within the same limits of the expansionist vision of the Occident at the expense of the Orient: Eurocentrism, lack of access to the Oriental society and legitimacy of the occupation, etc.
