SUMMARY:Elleke Boehmer (English Oxford University). Postcolonial Studies in the Twenty-first Century: The Response to Regions
DESCRIPTION:Elleke Boehmer is professor of World Literature in English, and a Professorial Governing Body Fellow at Wolfson College, Oxford University. Her publications on postcolonial writing and theory, and the literature of empire are internationally acclaimed.*\n \nTo date, postcolonial literatures and the theories used to read them, whether from South Asia, Africa or the Caribbean, have been literatures and theories born out of experiences of transnational migration, often between metropolises, cities and centres. It is a writing formed in transit, though many of its core concepts by contrast relate to dwelling, belonging, connection and location. As befits the beginning of a new decade of this still-new century, this lecture will look at what happens when some of postcolonialism’s key terms are taken back to the regions from which they are held to have emerged – in particular South Asia as the space which generated the concept of migrant writing (Rushdie and others), and South Africa as the former zone of the Manichean (JanMohamed). How do these concepts translate back into the places of their emergence? Has the word postcolonial become even more of a place-holder than it ever was before?  \n \n \n *  These include Colonial and Postcolonial Literature: Migrant Metaphors (Oxford UP, 1995), Empire, the National, and the Postcolonial, 1890-1920 (Oxford UP, 2002), Stories of Women: Gender and Narrative in the Postcolonial Nation (Manchester UP, 2005), as well as the cultural history, Nelson Mandela: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford UP, 2008). She has also published a number of seminal anthologies and is General Editor of the series, Oxford Studies in Postcolonial Literature (OUP). At once a critic and a novelist, Elleke Boehmer is the author of four well-received novels as well as a number of short stories.\n \n \n \nBis heute sind postkoloniale Literaturen und die Theorien, in deren Licht man sie liest, aus der Erfahrung der Migration und der Transnationalität, des Transits zwischen Metropolen, Städten und Zentren geboren. Dies gilt für Südasien, Afrika und die Karibik gleichermaßen. Zentrale Konzepte solchen\nSchreibens aber kreisen um Vorstellungen der Zugehörigkeit, des Verbundenseins, der Verortung. Ausgehend von dieser Spannung nahm der Vortrag den Beginn des neuen Jahrzehntes dieses immer noch jungen Jahrhunderts zum Anlass für eine Bestandsaufnahme: Was geschieht, wenn Schlüsselbegriffe postkolonialer Diskussion nun in die Regionen, denen sie vermeintlich entsprungen sind, zurückgeführt werden - insbesondere nach Südasien, wo Vorstellungen von migranter Autorschaft entstanden sind (Rushdie und andere) und nach Südafrika. Wie verändert sich dadurch der Begriff des Postkolonialen? \n \nVortrag in englischer Sprache.\nDer Vortrag fand im Rahmen der Tagung “Disciplining the Margins or Relocating Postcolonial Studies” (21.- 24.07.2011, Institut für Literaturwissenschaft/Amerikanistik I der Universität Stuttgart) statt.
