سأتناول في هذا البحث أدب الرحالة البريطانيين إلى الشرق الأوسط في هذه الحقبة لتحليل تجسيدهم للمشاهد الطبيعية للشرق الأوسط في ضوء مفهوم إدوارد سعيد عن " الجغرافية المُتخيلة" في كتاباته عن الاستشراق من خلال مؤلفاته: الاستشراق و الثقافة و الإمبريالية و مقالته " الإصطناع و الذاكرة و المكان ".
In this research, I will deal with British travel accounts to the Middle East around this period, attempting to analyze their representation of the Middle Eastern landscape in the light of Said's concept of "imaginative geography" represented in his writings on Orientalism in Orientalism, Culture and Imperialism and his article "Invention, Memory and Place".

This paper explores the image of the Eastern woman in travel
literature and the subsequent treatment of her in the Restoration and
eighteenth century drama. The study shows that the travelers’ stories and
notions of the Eastern woman’s lifestyle were adopted by the English
dramatists and sometimes incorporated in their particulars. It argues that
travel literature played a profound role in constructing the image of the
Eastern woman on the English stage, in that period, as a subjugated
lascivious ‘being’ and stresses that this very negative image was based on
the misconceptions and often ill-founded narrations of the travelers.

The discoveries of gas fields in the Eastern Mediterranean region led to many regional reactions; between those who welcomed it, and between expectations of the outbreak of conflicts over those fields and the overlapping of the influence of the major
countries in the region. In the forefront: Russia and the states The United States of America, the European Union, Syria, Turkey, Lebanon and Palestine. This research sheds light on the new gas discoveries in the Eastern Mediterranean countries and their economic and geopolitical impact on the relations of the major countries with the region. The study aimed to look at the reality of the energy war that the region is witnessing and its role in shaping future international policies and strategies. The study used the descriptive analytical approach to describing the true picture behind the strategies of the state's parties that were discussed, indicating the impact of invasive discoveries in drawing these strategies. The study concluded that the Middle East region embraces the most important wealth and the most intense battles. As none of the parties can work alone to end the conflict politically or militarily, but requires coordination on the level of international interests for each party, given that the region is only an arena that hosts a set of goals and interests the opposing major countries of the world.
After the dismemberment of the “Arab Homeland” by “Sykes – Picot Agreement”
(1916), “Belford Declaration” (1917), the Independence of the “Orient States” (1946), and
the establishment of the so-called “State of Israel” (1948), the concern of the US
A was
concentrated on rallying the States of the Middle East in a “Defense Organization” to
resist the Arab National Orientation, and the „Communist Threats”, and to protect the
western investments, through indigenous military forces and local self-finance. The USA
and Western commitment towards this defense system is restricted to some military and
technical assistance and full control of the military, economic, political, social and cultural
activities in a way that
protects and guarantees the western interests, investments and plans.
This study introduces a set of explanations on originality and on what revolves around the openness of
the innovator to the others' culture, when inspiration is no longer found in the surrounding and the road
has become blocked. However, reality-re
jection spirit drives an artist to look for new ideas away from
repeated and prevalent aesthetics and pushes him to search for salvation. Matisse has found salvation
through his openness to other world cultures and civilizations, especially the Islamic Arab civilization
from which he extracted themes going with his originaelity. The title of this study has required as to
deal briefly with four issues:
1- West And East and the crisis of the western art.
2- Some aesthetic features of Islamic Arab art.
3- Who is Matisse.
4- Matisse on the in-between isthmus.
