El. knyga: Postcolonial World

The Postcolonial World offers an overview of the field while also extending critical debate in exciting new directions, providing an important and timely reappraisal of postcolonialism as an aesthetic, political, and historical movement, and of postcolonial studies as a multidisciplinary, transcultural field. Essays map the terrain of the postcolonial as a global phenomenon at the intersection of several disciplinary inquiries including history, literature, visual media, religion, human rights, geopolitics, cartography, gender, race, and the digital humanities. Including a detailed general introduction, the seven sections look at:Cultural Memories and Affective HistoriesHuman Rights and Postcolonial ConflictsCultural Geography and Spatial PracticesOriental Phantasms and Postcolonial DesiresPostcolonialism versus NeoliberalismReligious ImaginingsPostcolonial Cultures and Digital HumanitiesThe Postcolonial World looks afresh at re-emerging conditions of postcoloniality in its global, transnational, and international dimensions, drawing on a wide range of representational strategies, cultural practices, material forms, and affective affiliations. This volume is essential reading for both beginners as well as more advanced scholars in the area, offering clear introductions alongside new and refreshing insights.
