  6. POST-MODERNISM

  7. What is post-modernism? • What’s the deal with ‘post-modernism’ vs. ‘post-structuralism’? • Standing outside of the modern; holding it up as an object of enquiry • Not a chronological, but a conceptual term • A post-modern perspective looks at phenomena in the world in the wake of the modern • Example: Dialectic of Enlightenment (1947)

  8. POST-COLONIALISM

  9. What is post-colonialism? • Not chronological, but a conceptual term • A post-colonial perspective looks at phenomena in the world in the wake of colonialism • Just as the term ‘post-modern’ denaturalizes the modern, post-colonialism denaturalizes the colonial. In so doing we are able to gain some critical purchase on the colonial • Example: Orientalism (1978)
