- Contents
- In this class, students will first be familiarized with the key tenets of postcolonial theory. In particular, we will focus on the theoretical writings of, among others, Edward Said, Homi Bhabha, Stuart Hall and Gayatri Spivak, examining the key concepts of hybridity, mimicry, ambivalence, alterity, "otherness", diaspora, Orientalism and the subaltern in their critical contexts. Subsequently, we will use these theories as a conceptual framework to explore how the issues of home and belonging, migration and exile, diaspora, place/displacement, coloniality and indigenous resistance, citizenship, the body, gender, class, race and ethnicity are broached in selected works of art, film and media (advertisements, visuals, etc.). By the end of the course, students will have grasped a nuanced understanding of the material and epistemological conditions of postcoloniality, decolonial strategies of resistance and redress, as well as of how cultural and collective identities are explored, (re-)negotiated and mapped out in/through literary and cultural texts.
