Why should we still talk about postcolonialism in this increasingly multipolar and interconnected world of today? What is its significance in postcolonial societies and the global world? Should we continue to orient the idea of a global history around one single rubric of Euro-American perspective by taking colonialism as the determining watershed? While the notions of postcolonialism vary and should be understood as attempts to resonate hybrid freedom, we should revisit and criticize the continuity of the "Western mental map" as well as "inferiority complex”derived from the European colonial legacy. As seen in colonialism, most European countries expressed deep racism socially as well as intellectually in order to foster Eurocentric ideas and colonial cultures. This course will take students to Postcolonial studies or Postcolonialism as a critical academic study of the socio-cultural, political legacy of colonialism and imperialism not only in post-colonial nations but to the mental map of the contemporray global society. Basic theories, experience, and critical analysis on (everyday) racism, religiosity, modernity, knowledge production, and case studies on the lasting impact of the exploitation of colonized people will be introduced.
