The aim of the present work is to understand the intellectual production of the Palestinian author Edward W. Said. His heterogeneous history represented in a larger extent a theoretical metaphor of his major political and conceptual dilemmas, some of them consisting this thesis subject. We understand Said defines culture as a preferential locus in order to comprehend the colonial domination, later on embodying a political speech for the composition of the national Palestinian identity. We have attempted to delimit the main paradox of his work which refers to the theoretical interaction of the post-colonial approach with the historicity of the national Palestinian ethos. We understand that the paradox of Nationalism its close connection to the post-colonial aproach and theoretical courses arising from progressive engagement with the Palestinian national cause subsidizes other reflections interrelated, such as: the intellectual representation in contemporary society; the relation between text and historical reality understood through the concept of worldliness; the category of exile as an ontological condition and epistemological metaphor; and the problem of the culture-imperialism relation. These courses of analyzes have guidance in a broader objective which is the analysis of centrality and the respective present status of Edward Said s work in Post-Colonial Historiography.
