Whither postcolonialism? New directions in postcolonial studies -- International Online Conference, 1-2 December 2023
Postcolonial studies as a way of reclaiming history from the perspective of the colonised continues to uncover the myriad fraught legacies of colonialism. The emergence of newer interdisciplinary areas of inquiry, such as climate change, has further revealed tangled legacies of colonialism that continue to persist. The burgeoning field of postcolonial print culture studies, in turn, has been bringing to the fore a fascinating terrain of production, circulation and consumption of print in colonial contexts that is particularly enriching our knowledge of anticolonial resistance in various ways. This conference aims to bring together academic work in some of the newer sub-fields of postcolonial inquiry with attention to continuities.
