In this study, benefitting from critical discourse analysis, through which representations and contexts human descriptions and East-West image are built in Alexander William Kinglake’s Eothen, who witnessed transformation process of orientalism in the 19th Century, will be considered. Kinglake is one of the important representatives of th 19th century politic-ideological orientalism in English travel literature. Published in 1844, Eothen takes its subject from the travel that the author had in the Ottoman lands between 1834-1835. In the work which has a critical language while the West represents technological process and change, the East represents backwardness and stagnation. The element of religion is introduced as the basic constitutive element in construction of human types and East/Ottoman-West/Europe image.
