Abstract
This chapter aims to analyze the reconstruction of the otherness of oriental women in the post-9/11 era via an analysis of the representations of the oriental women in Body of Lies (2008). To examine this subject, the shifts in orientalist discourse in this period, the neo-orientalist context, and ideological functions of Hollywood are considered from a postcolonial feminist approach. Considering the specific position attributed to oriental women in the post-9/11 era, this chapter examines how Hollywood conveys gender and race relations through the construction and reconstruction of oriental women images and attempt to show how these images have participated in the reconstruction of the otherness of oriental women after the 9/11 attacks through the analysis of Body of Lies.
