Abstract:

The review outlines the major topics of the conference on American Studies held by RSUH in May 2021. Colonial and postcolonial discourses, their intervention and interpretation are still simultaneously extraordinarily enabling and theoretically problematic. The question is how literary and historical texts as well as cultural and political representations could be analyzed from colonial and postcolonial point of view. The conference topics integrated colonial and postcolonial discourses into a wide range of humanitarian fields in order to understand their common elements, which make a contribu

Abstract:

James Cameron’s Avatar (2010) is a movie based on the experiences of different paradigms of post colonialism which emerge as a reaction to the colonial discourses in the history of theory. Post colonial discourse aims at re-reading any text that “… directly addresses the experience of Empire” (Mcleod 2007: 33).It is also “concerned with the workings and legacy of colonialism” (Mcleod 2007: 33). Avatar has been screened with the realities of the colonial history where we discover two groups–oppressors and oppressed. Post colonialism, with its multifarious characteristics, enables us to examine

Abstract: Discourses on Islamization in Indonesia are quite varied, including giving birth to the opinion that Islam originated in Gujarat, Mecca, Persia and China. The problem is, the discourse about the opinion of the coming of Islam to Indonesia which later became a unified historical story is rarely found. The discourse on Islamization became a long discourse in the colonial and postcolonial periods. This paper aims to elaborate on the vision of Islamization according to Hoesein Djajadiningrat.

This article deals with some earlier applications of psychology for the analysis of the colonial condition offered by three thinkers—Octave Mannoni, Frantz Fanon and recent applications of Freudian psychoanalytical theory in the poststructuralist approach of Homi K.

Also to answer a vital question in the theoretical project of postcolonial studies: Is psychoanalysis a universally applicable theory for psychic disruptio

Abstract:

This article politicises the discourse of emerging markets in global finance. The black-boxed appearance of credit markets easily obscures the significant amount of subjective evaluation and cultural work that underpins capital flows. This article reveals the colonial, masculine, and racial imagination that informs the articulation of emerging markets as geographies of risk and profit. This brings into view the postcolonial nature of contemporary finance and how colonialism’s regimes of power and knowledge remain crucial for the reproduction of the global political economy.

Abstract:

Taking German history and culture as a starting point, this essay suggests a historical approach to reconceptualizing different forms of literary engagement with colonial discourse, colonial legacies and (post)colonial memory in the context of Comparative Postcolonial Studies. The deliberate blending of a historical, a conceptual and a political understanding of the ‘postcolonial’ in postcolonial scholarship raises problems of periodization and historical terminology when, for example, anti-colonial discourse from the colonial period or colonialist discourse in Weimar Germany are labelled ‘pos

This paper explores the impact of online platforms, institutions and digital reading communities on reading practice in the digital age.

General Background: Counter-discourse serves as a vital mechanism for marginalized and oppressed groups to challenge dominant narratives that often marginalize alternative perspectives. Specific Background: The concept of counter-discourse has been explored in various contexts, yet its application to classic literature, such as Shakespeare’s "Hamlet," remains underrepresented. Knowledge Gap: To date, no comprehensive studies have applied the lens of counter-discourse to "Hamlet" within a postcolonial framework.

Using the postcolonial theory, the study examines how the postcolonial narrative is portrayed using magical realism. The study employs close reading

How do the traditions of the pre-colonial and colonial past and the post-colonial future correlate in contemporary Africa? What is the postcolony and is it related to the results of decolonization? Is there a postcolonial reality and what is actually the main focus of postcolonial research? Th

In the backdrop of postcolonial theory and the concept of counter discourse, the discursivere presentation of violent resistance to British Imperialism is highlighted.

The three responses to “Colonial and Postcolonial Discourse” raise significant questions for studying such discourse but with significant similarities and differences. Hernán Vidal and Walter Mignolo embark on commentaries that endeavor in part to define a new position of engagement for intellectuals, while Rolena Adorno retains traditional academic distance. Yet all three responses provide colonial and postcolonial discourse with a historic trajectory. Showing that a trend has roots in the past, even if accounts of those roots differ, is a grudging way of acknowledging its legitimacy in the p
