DOI 10.1215/016424721468308 © 2012 Duke University Press It has been twenty years since Kwame Anthony Appiah’s sharply critical essay, “Is the Postin Postmodernism the Postin Postcolonial?,” brought to our attention the deep complicities of the postcolonial intellectual with global capitalism’s management of cultural commodities out of Africa via the fetishism of the self as other.1 An unthinki...

imone de Beauvoir recalls that when she first made the acquaintance of Jean-Paul Sartre he, then still a young man, proudly and somewhat hubristically declared that when he became older he wanted to be Stendhal and Spinoza (Cérémonie 182, 228). Not satisfied with the dream of being merely a great writer or a great philosopher, Sartre hoped to pursue both academic vocations at the same time. For...

in this study, the notions of homelessness and unhomeliness are studied in 2 novels by naipaul: half a life (2001) and magic seeds (2004). naipaul has been viewed by many postcolonial critics as an imperially complicit writer, for his controversial views of places and societies, particularly his disdain for non-western societies. this study examines whether the imperatives of the postcolonial c...

This paper provides a reading of the trope “after Foucault” to indicate three lines of inquiry in Foucauldian studies with particular application to education: the postcolonial, following Edward Said; the biopolitical, following Giorgio Agamben; and the empire of capital, following Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri. This is a synoptic paper that engages with the question of how to read Foucault a...

In a broad sense, postcolonial literature is writing which has been “affected by the imperial process from the moment of colonization to the present day” (Ashcroft et al, 2). In India’s case, this includes novels, poetry, and drama which were written both during and after the British Raj or “Reign,” which came to a formal conclusion with Indian Independence in August 1947. Although writing from...

In this paper, an improved seventh-order WENO (WENO-Z7) scheme is suggested by extending the 5th-order WENO scheme of Borges et al[R. Borges, M. Carmona, B. Costa, W. S. Don, An improved weighted essentially non-oscillatory scheme for hyperbolic conservation laws, J. Comput. Phys. 227(2008) 3191-3211]. The sufficient condition for seventh-order accuracy is described for the new smoothness indic...

Most postcolonial African writers choose English as the language of their literary works for the reason of wider audience reception but come to indigenize it to decolonize the colonial tool, i.e. colonial language. The translinguistic process of relexification means subverting colonial cultural imperialism and colonial linguistic imposition through the dialogic interaction opened in the w...
