Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
This course is designed to give students an overview of the key terms in postcolonial theory. We will first define the differences between colonialism and postcolonialism and then explore the theories and concepts coined by some of the most prominent postcolonialists, among them are Edward Said, Homi Bhabha, Antonio Gramsci, and Gayatri Spivak. We will examine such issues as identity, gender, sexuality, religion, and national belonging from the postcolonial perspective as well as trace the concept of anti-colonial resistance through literature, film, and visual culture. The overriding aim of this course is to analyze the emergence and institutionalization of postcolonialism through various socio-political and fictional texts as well as investigate the ways in which these narratives shape postcolonial debates.
