POST -COLONIALISM OR POSTCOLONIAL STUDIES
• It is an academic discipline featuring method of intellectual discourse that analyze, explain and respond to the cultural legacies of colonialism and imperialism.
• It is concerned with the oppression of Non-European races by European ones.
• It is concerned with creating space for subaltern and marginalized group.
• It can be also seen as continuation of colonialism through Globalization.
GLOBALIZATION
• Globalization implies the opening of local and nationalistic perspectives to a broader outlook of an interconnected and interdependent world with free transfer of capital, goods and services across national frontiers.
GLOBALIZATION IN CULTURAL STUDIES
• Global where the European settler imposes cultural modes colony.
• It adapt and appropriates local culture.
• For example:- Current phase of Globalization is one of the colonial process.
• Globalization it also names a new protocol of writing and teaching in the humanities and social science.
• The emergence of globalization in cultural studies
• It has a sustained engagement with and influence on local cultures.
• Theme of race and unequal relations has to be worked into any analysis of global cultures.
• Culture has increasingly little to do with tradition or territories.
• Global economic and media flows determine what aspects of culture are adopted or abandoned.
FILMS EXPLORE OTHER CULTURES
THE CURRENT PHASE OF GLOBALIZATION
CULTURAL STUDIES IN A GLOBALIZING AGE? THIS APPROACH MAKES US ASK CERTAIN QUESTIONS ABOUT:
• Are local cultural products in any way determined by the possibility of a global market?• Are such cultural products
financed by non-local moneys?
• Hindi films being financed by non-resident Indians.
• Hindi films and their popularity in other countries where both non-resident Indians and others watch them.
• The stage shows performed by Bollywood stars extending Bollywood culture in other ways.
EXAMPLES:-
POSTCOLONIAL CULTURAL STUDIES MUST BE CONSCIOUS OF:
• Material nature• Marketing and symbolic values economic
gain or losses • ‘share’ of the local culture/economy• Kind of images associated with the object• Globalization produces ‘hybrid’ products
and cultural values
WHAT WE LEARNT!!!!!
• Local cultural artifacts are now produced keeping a global market in mind.
• This production of local (Third world) engaged in a relationship with the First world.
• The relationship between local cultures and the First world market remains, mostly, a colonial one, where the local culture is exploited by the First world.
