One of the parts and parcels of postcolonial literature is to deconstruct the history written by imperialism and to present the one as experienced by the colonized. As victims of British colonialism, Australian Aborigines have always mirrored the historical religious and territorial subjugation of their land in their writings, especially in their dramatic literature because of its high populari...
This paper questions the extent to which current critical engagements with postcolonial realities may exhibit an exoticising tendency they simultaneously decry as colonialism’s orientalist reflex. Contemporary instances of the exoticization of the “other”, however, are not necessarily the result of a practice of cultural translation that becomes ‘the superimposition of a dominant way of seeing,...
I nspired by the strategic operation of mental spacing and conceptual blending in semantics engineered by Gilles Fauconnier and Mark Turner, it will be the intention of this piece to subject a slightly modified extension of this operation in the effort to resolve the rather problematic issue of the “I” in Borges’ Borges and I. By selecting this rather succinct and enigmatic text of this stripe ...
Jorge Luis Borges recognized the cracking facade of modernity and the fragility of its monist absolutisms, its commitment to linearity, and its faith in historical progress. By disavowing the ability of time to be contained within any collective structure of representation, Borges both refutes modernist conceptions of time and offers insight into recent theories of contemporaneity. A contempora...
This situation makes Sylvia Molloy state that Borges is ”one more example of an author whose potential for disquiet, or better still, whose intellectual provocation, has been weakened by a tradition of reductive readings”(2). The elusive, disquieting moment, which is so characteristic for Borges, has been smoothed out and neutralized by the critics, Molloy argues: the unfamiliar has been made f...
postcolonial feminism, also dubbed as third world feminism, is an innovative approach, demonstrating the way women of colonized countries suffer from both native patriarchies and imperial ideology. also due to this double-colonization, postcolonial feminists contend that third world women are subjected to both colonial domination of empire and male domination of patriarchy. while western femini...
The authors suggest that postcolonial science studies can do more than expand answers to questions already posed; it can generate different questions and different ways of looking at the world. To illustrate, the authors draw on existing histories and anthropologies and critical theories of colonial and postcolonial technoscience. To move forward together, rather than remaining mired in regretf...
What distinguishes postcolonial approaches to translation is that they examine intercultural encounters in contexts marked by unequal power relations. Herein lie their strengths as well as their weaknesses. Their major contribution has been to illuminate the role of power in the production and reception of translation. But it is not certain that the postcolonial framework can be applied to othe...
Jorge Luis Borges entwarf mit der Kurzgeschichte „Die Bibliothek von Babel“ die Utopie, über alle Bücher der Welt verfügen zu können; zugleich drohte fiktiven Bibliotheksbenutzern der fatale Absturz in ein kryptisches Zeichenchaos. Borges` Erzählung impliziert die Frage, wie die beste aller Büchersammlungen aussehen könnte. Imaginäre Bibliotheken, so die These, schärfen den Blick für reale Wiss...
The tensions and silences within influential «postcolonial» theories, the majority of which are written and published from locations in the First World, can be explored by opening them to a critica1 dialogue with works of so-called «postcolonial» literature. In many respects, these narratives, which are international in readership yet written in Third World locations, challenge the concepr of «...
