DILIP MENON: FINDING SOUTH ASIA ON A MAP: DOING POST COLONIA HISTORY
Thursday, Jan 7. 4-5:30pm Literature Building, Room 155This presentation will look at three issues: territory, archive and
categories. First, what is the space that a post colonial history should
address? Is it the dyad of metropole and colony or the nation or should it
address and recover a notion of territory that is not overdetermined by
colonialism and the cartographic and institutional hubris of colonial
governmentality? What is the territory that is generated by the movement of
people, ideas and material? Can we recover a notion of multiple, fluid and
overlapping territorialities that are neither pre-colonial nor colonial but
para-colonial i.e. that exists alongside the space generated by the colonial
state and capital? Does colonialism represent a time of interrupted
cosmopolitanism or of continuous cosmopolitanism?
