Description:

This course deals with the construction and respresentation of colonial and post-colonial identities. First, it focuses on colonial perceptions and imaginations of the "natives" of the colonies through the elaboration of (anthropological) discourses about race and gender. Secondly, it deals with the production of specific forms of domination and of "rational" and "scientific" modes of exploitation based on racialized hierarchies. Finally, moving toward critical analyses of and from the position of racialized subjects, the course considers the emergence of post-colonial subjectivities. Focus is on the former British Empire, and the course uses London as an ethnographic field within which to learn about contemporary post-colonial diasporas and their integration into mainstream British culture.
