- Abstract
Elements of Orientalism can be found in many spheres of human activity, whether in literature, fine arts, music or fashion. Thanks to the increasing globalisation of our world, a distant and unattainable East – Orient is beginning to get closer. These cultures, customs, and rhythms penetrate more and more into our lives every day, mainly through media: Internet, television and radio. In recent years, Orientalism elements have also begun to appear in fashion and music industries and advertising, where they are primarily intended to impress us visually. In Western communities, however, they are mostly based only on stereotypes about Oriental countries, and in the performance of Western artists, they often have little to do with reality. In the music video with the Chinese warrior Chun Li, portrayed by rapper Nicki Minaj (1982), I decided to analyse Chinese Orientalism and compare the Western concept with her original image.
