Meeting Description:

Postcolonial literature (variously termed as Commonwealth Literature or New
Literatures in English) started with the examination of literature produced
under the influence of colonizers during the colonial rule, but has expanded
into a multi-disciplinary engagement covering even the literatures produced in
settler colonies of yore. The colonized-colonizer paradigm has been
transferred to the ruling structures within the freed countries to address the
plight of the subaltern. The ideology of postcolonialism has impacted other
ideologies like Marxism, Feminism and Nationalism besides re-writing concepts
like diaspora, subjectivity, etc. There is the emerging perception that the
colonized phase needs to be viewed as a negotiation which developed hybrid
positions on both sides like any other normal historical phenomenon. We have
reached a stage where there is talk of post-postcolonial phase. Now is the
appropriate time to debate all these developments and variations and assess
the fine nuances of theory vis-à-vis politics involved.
