IN THE COMMUNITY
Blindless of Insight
DILIP MENON: FINDING SOUTH ASIA ON A MAP: DOING POST COLONIA HISTORY
Thursday, Jan 7. 4-5:30pm Literature Building, Room 155
This 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?
