殖民社會與後殖民主義理論

Abstract: This seminar will examine colonialism as historical phenomenon and cultural problem but more importantly as interrelated issues. It is necessary thus to distinguish the study of colonial societies from postcolonial theory, which is an important discourse that has recently impacted and problematized cultural studies. Coloniality as historical phenomenon and cultural mindset constitutes the framework for redefining the cultural nature of coloniality, ultimately as geopolitical process. What is the role of the state and the nature of cultural critique? The last third of the course will focus on case studies. [* indicates required reading; + indicates other recommended reading]
