Thinking activity on colonialism, post colonialism and imperialism

Hello, reader
Welcome to my blog.

Here is my view upon task which was given by Dilip sir. So, enjoyed through reading of my blog.
So, here I would like to talk about colonialism, imperialism and post colonialism. We supposed to highlight history, culture, society, politics and literature.

* What is colonialism?



   •Colonialism is the policy of a nation seeking to extend or retain its authority over other people or territories, generally with the aim of economic dominance.


# what is post colonialism?




  ∆ Postcolonialism or postcolonial studies is the academic study of the cultural legacy of colonialism and imperialism, focusing on the human consequences of the control and exploitation of colonized people and their lands.

# What is imperialism?




  • Imperialism is a policy or ideology of extending a nation's rule over foreign nations, often by military force or by gaining political and economic control of other areas. ... However, both are examples of imperialism.

  •   The critical analysis of the history, culture, literature and modes of discourse that are specific to the for men colonies of England, Spain, France and other European imperial powers. These studies have focused on the Third world countries in Africa, Asia , Latin America. We can see Hybridization in plurality and mixture of many thing. We also find Hegemony. Post colonialism says there are Nothing like " Univerality". One more thing is it deal with " universality of literature ", it has questoned, it has test of time.

 There are 3 words for How to voice out postcoloniality?

 - ADOPT : Realism (Slave - Copy the master)
- ADAPT : Slave becomes aware about their personality
- ADEPT :

   • This post -Structralist perspective is seen in the work of such representative figures as Henry Louis Gates, Gayatri spivak, Edward said. This study makes possibility for super reader. Colonialism and imperialism both are often used interchangeably. In imperialism Dominalion by Empire belief in empire building. Like colonialism, imperialism too is best understood not by trying to pin it down to a single semantic meaning but by relating it's shifting meanings to historical process.

 •     Colonialism/Postcolonialism discusses this question, situating postcolonial studies in relation to globalization and new imperial formations.postcolonial studies had already become, in the words of Stuart Hall, ‘the bearer of such powerful unconscious investments – a sign of desire for some, and equally for others, a signifier of danger’.

 ~    The so-called global war on terror, and the US invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, it is harder than ever to see our world as simply ‘postcolonial'.One another main point is that globalization as it has been imposed upon the world by institutions like the World Bank and the IMF.

Effects of Colonization:-
                                                As mentioned, post-colonialism asks the reader to enter a text through the post-colonial lens. The chart will help you see how to approach a post-colonial reading of a text. As a reader, you would look for the effects of colonialism and how they are addressed through the plot, setting, and characters' actions.

Colonial  discourse :

  • Knowledge is not innocent but profoundly connected with the operations of power. This foucaultian insight informs Edward said's orientalism which points out the extent to which knowledge about the orient as it was produced and circulated in europe was an ideological accompainment of colonial power. Colonialism reshaped existing structures of human knowledge. No branch of learning was left untouched by the colonial experience.


 •  Moreover in colonialism and literature humanist literary studies have long been resistant to the idea that literature has anything. In colonialism we can see conquer & conquest and politics. It shows history of cultural conflicts and war of civilization. Cultural study is also connect with politics. Normally, History was written by Victors and defeated have no voice.

Thank you...
