3. Hybridity two different definitions
• catalysis: the (specifically New World)
experience of several ethnic groups
interacting and mixing with each other often
in a contentious environment that gives way
to new forms of identity and experience.
• creolization: societies that arise from a
mixture of ethnic and racial mixing to form a
new material, psychological, and spiritual
self-definition.
6. Rethinking post colonialism and
hybridity
“How does one conceptualise impure, hybrid,
incommensurable modes of thinking and being,
without filtering them of their messiness? “
• Akil Gupta (1998: 6)
8. Example of mimicry
Frantz Fanon in the phrase, “black
skin/white masks,” or as “mimic
men” by V.S.Naipaul.
9. Other
• other: the social and/or psychological ways in
which one group excludes or marginalizes
another group. By declaring someone
"Other," persons tend to stress what makes
them dissimilar from or opposite of another,
and this carries over into the way they
represent others, especially through
stereotypical images.
11. Discourse
• “ It is a systems of thoughts composed of
idea,attitudes,courses of action ,beliefs and
practices hat systemetically constructs the
subjects and the worlds of which they speak
Michel Foucault
13. Anti- colonialism
“ Anti- colonialism is an act of political
struggle of colonized people against
the specific ideology and practice of
colonialism”
