שאלה #193480

		A) A huge push for hashish use in Europe
		B) A huge push for researching the Orient and for modernizing the Orient
		C) A huge push for imposing limits on drugs, because the French saw the “Egyptian life” as involving hashish sales
		D) A huge push for France in the struggle against Britain: controlling routes and threatening British interests in India (as Britain did)

Explanation: In the lectures, Napoleon’s Egypt expedition is presented as a catalyst for Orientalist knowledge production (scholars, reports, classifications) and for a “modernizing/civilizing” project directed at the Orient—beyond the purely military campaign. (Lecture/Reading: Ram, Squaring the Circle; also connected to Guba de Sacy and the myth of the Hashishin.)
