Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Postcolonial critique is an indispensable tool for broadening and developing new perspectives in international development. It not only provides nuanced ways of looking into the interrelation of race, class and gender but also present a number of examples for crafting interdisciplinary methods of analysis. The appearance of postcolonial perspectives in analyses has created a lively field of study, discussion, contention and theoretical production. Based on close readings and discussions of original English-language texts that have had a strong impact on the development and reception of postcolonial critique (including Said, Bhabha, Spivak), this course will not only present key issues in this field of theory, but also a clear idea of the development of transdisciplinary methods found in postcolonial critiques.
