The Portuguese representations of the sieges of Diu have been produced over the span of five centuries. My main argument is that, in these texts, Diu served as a pretext to reaffirm the glories of Portugal in Asia during the sixteenth century, as well as to establish an ontological and epistemological distinction between the West and the East. Such representations stem from what Eduardo Lourenço calls ‘Portuguese hyperidentity’, a notion which helps us understand how the discourses about Diu articulate knowledge and power. The relevance of establishing a connection between Edward W. Said’s theory of Orientalism and Lourenço’s viewpoint lies in the fact that both the ‘Western conceptions of the Orient’ and the affirmation of Portuguese identity and belonging participate of what Michel Foucault called the ‘regime of truth’.

超同一性和东方主义：葡萄牙文本中的 Diu 之围案例

围攻 Diu 的葡萄牙图画已经制作了五个世纪。我的主要论点是，在这些文本中，Diu 充当了重申葡萄牙在 16 世纪在亚洲的辉煌的借口，并在西方和东方之间建立了本体论和认识论上的区别。这种表述源于爱德华多·洛伦索 (Eduardo Lourenço) 所说的“葡萄牙超认同”，这一概念有助于我们理解关于 Diu 的话语如何表达知识和权力。爱德华·W·赛义德的东方主义理论与洛伦索的观点之间建立联系的相关性在于，“西方的东方观念”和对葡萄牙身份和归属感的肯定都参与了米歇尔·福柯所说的“真理制度” '。
