Abstract:

The thesis deals with the representation of North African reality in some writings (letters, memoirs, notebooks…) by Andrej Belyj, who travelled in Tunisia and Egypt in 1911. Even if some of these works can be read through the lens of Belyj’s belonging to Russian symbolism or his affinity for anthroposophy, in this study the corpus is examined using a postcolonial approach. The aim of the thesis is to show several features of the author’s representation of the African world, features he shares with the orientalist European tradition and the Western way of thinking. This partially contrasts wit

Abstract:

The dissertation analyses the construction of the community of the Haratines of Mauritania, ethnic group of former slaves and their descendants, of black origins and Arabised over time. Despite abolition of slavery, 10-15% of the Haratines are still considered in dependence on their former masters, especially in rural areas. The study highlights the transformation of what to be “Haratines” meant over time and what concurred to transform a social status into an ethnic group, whose members are actually affirming their autonomous identity from the beydane society, in which they were usually

Abstract:

In his critique of Western of ethno-centrism and representations of the East, Edward Said elaborates an idea of humanism, based largely on the philosophy of Giambattista Vico. This humanism is an alternative to those based on the subject of European modernity and on philosophy of history. According to Said, the alleged rationale nature of “man” hides the "will to power" that Europe is is deployed with the rest of the world. According to Said,re-read Vico permits to think of a subject and a story that should be determined historically and materially, through social struggles for recognition and

While development cooperation largely consists of policy advice, the suggestions and inputs on development that policymakers in the Global South receive from donors and other international actors, little research exists on what makes policy advice useful to these policymakers. The aim of this study was to find out why policymakers in the Global South find some advice useful and some not. This was done through a field study in Kenya, using interviews with 23 policymakers and advisors. The analytical framework that was applied to the material reconciled the SCL model of analysing policy advice i

Abstract:

For almost two centuries Malta was a British colony. During this period it developed an active theatre which, unlike the situation in most colonized communities as described by postcolonial criticism, used a local language as its main means of expression. Most Maltese playwrights continued to write their plays in Maltese even after their country became independent, and therefore after the Maltese language had outlived its utility as a weapon of resistance against a formal foreign colonizer. The thesis traces the development of Maltese drama and theatre in the nineteenth and early twentieth cen

This thesis discusses the extent to which non-governmental organisations (NGOs) operating in postcolonial countries work with religious institutions to promote social and economic development. Through postcolonial theory, and by using a qualitative approach combined with a critical methodology, this thesis will examine the relationship between particular NGOs and religion in the countries in which they operate. More precisely, this thesis will consider whether it is helpful, or a hindrance to development if NGOs work cooperatively with religious leaders and institutions.

Abstract:

Critical examinations of cultural groups and the ways in which they are presented in schools are missing from current elementary and middle school curricula. Issues of this nature often fall under the umbrella of “multicultural education” or “cultural pedagogy,” but this rhetoric is dismissive in nature. Constructing the non-Western child as “culturally deprived,” “culturally disadvantaged,” or “at-risk” perpetuates an “us/colonizer” versus “them/colonized” mentality.

However, the representation of important historical events in a nation's history is problematic.

Since the 1990s, there has been a growing interest for economic cash transfers as development policy tools. Thus, this thesis aims to study basic income as a development policy idea. From its postcolonial and feminist theoretical framework, a question about potential arises. Can basic income promote development without further enforcing global marginalization and colonial structures? Basic income is a relatively new idea in the development policy debate. Thereby, empirical examples are few. Because of this, the thesis studies the scientific discourse on basic incomeas a development policy idea

Consequently, France’s former colonies represent a privileged site of the Republican relationship with difference. This is particularly acute in the case of Algeria,

Abstract:

This is an instrumental case study that focuses on the construction of English Language Learner Identity (ELLI) in postcolonial Pakistan. It is a study of students at a public sector university in the province of Sindh. The study broadly examines how English language learners reconstruct, redefine and negotiate their language learner identities during their English language learning journeys.

Abstract:

In most nationstates the construction and making of a national identity is a historic phenomenon as the process started hundreds of years ago. In Namibia however, the construction of a nation and a national identity has just been instigated. Namibia, as one of the last colonies in Africa, did not gain independence until 1990. For a long time, Namibia was subjected to German as well as South African colonial and apartheid rule. Our aim with this essay was to examine the Namibian construction of a national identity, with reference to Namibia's historical postcolonial and postapartheid background

Abstract:

Tourism has various effects on society. Not only economic but also immaterial effects on destinations as well as on tourists themselves. Especially regarding tourism between the Global North and South, it is arguable if tourism is a social force influencing societies in a positive way or if it rather reinforces stereotypes and colonial structures. Postcolonial approaches help to narrow down this topic and to complement classical tourism studies. This paper focuses on the situation of German tourists in a former German colony: Namibia. It examines how the tourists perceive themselves within the

This project utilized a form of arts based educational research described as analog hypertext to develop interpretative material representing multiple critical, theoretical, and disciplinary perspectives on objects in a university art museum’s object study gallery. Drawing on scholars’ recommendations for postcolonial interpretation of non-Western art, the project created a web of information, which simultaneously revealed and critiqued the underlying ideologies and power structures shaping the museum’s display in an effort to change existing interpretive practice.
