Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Sociology - Individual, Groups, Society, grade: 1.0, Martin Luther University (Deutsche Sprache und Literatur), course: Introduction to Postcolonial Theory, Literature, and Film, language: English, abstract: Postcolonial studies aim at stripping away conventional thoughts and examine what kind of identity emerges in postcolonial subject. The first problem when I set out to work on postcolonial literatures is to confirm its scope. This word scope that I put forward here can be explained as follows, on the one hand, postcolonial literature is apparently vague and general. It's such a multinational and multicultural case that it is hard to define which country falls under the rubric. Except what we always mentioned as 'postcolonial countries' such as Nigeria, India and Pakistan, some writers include also countries like Canada, Ireland and Australia. So when we read the literatures about postcolonial, it is apparent for us to discover, that they include two parts, on the one hand, it is based on the dominant or colonizer society, on the other hand, it talks also about the dominated or colonized society. On the other hand, there are a large number of relevant themes or aspects around the topic postcolonialism: migration, race, gender, resistance, slavery and so on. Trying to cover all the countries and aspects in one essay seems not so specific. In my essay, I will focus on the question 'Who am I '. This kind of doubt about one's identity is a 'derivative product' of colonialism and a very important topic in postcolonial world. When we read literatures, we are able to seek out, what the indigenous voice want to express, how should the indigenous people see themselves, once their place and identity were forced to change Is the dual identity always ambivalent These questions are what I'm going to explain hereinafter.
