Edward Said

Detailed explanation-1: -Said was heavily influenced by French philosopher Michel Foucault, and those who have developed the theory of imagined geographies have linked these together. Foucault states that power and knowledge are always intertwined. Said then developed an idea of a relationship between power and descriptions.
Detailed explanation-2: -Imaginative geographies are representations of peoples and places that express the perceptions, desires, fantasies, fears, and projections of their authors, who are generally external observers.
Detailed explanation-3: -As Edward Said defined them in Orientalism (1979), imaginative geographies are techniques of representation, ways of othering spaces and places through recourse to specific images, codes, and conventions, that both reflect and enable relations of power.
