Postcolonialism and Postsocialism in Fiction and Art: Resistance and Re-existence

Autor Madina Tlostanova
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 feb 2017
This book tackles the intersections of postcolonial and postsocialist imaginaries and sensibilities focusing on the ways they are reflected in contemporary art, fiction, theater and cinema.  After the defeat of the Socialist modernity the postsocialist space and its people have found themselves in the void. Many elements of the former Second world experience, echo the postcolonial situations, including subalternization, epistemic racism, mimicry, unhomedness and transit, the revival of ethnic nationalisms and neo-imperial narratives, neo-Orientalist and mutant Eurocentric tendencies, indirect forms of resistance and life-asserting modes of re-existence. Yet there are also untranslatable differences between the postcolonial and the postsocialist human conditions. The monograph focuses on the aesthetic principles and mechanisms of sublime, the postsocialist/postcolonial decolonization of museums, the perception and representation of space and time through the tempolocalities of post-dependence, the anatomy of characters-tricksters with shifting multiple identities, the memory politics of the post-traumatic conditions and ways of their overcoming.

“Postcolonialism and Postsocialism in Fiction and Art is a balanced repertory of possible adaptations and deconstructions of postcolonial and postsocialist theories, practical examples of decolonial thinking, impressive reviews and close-readings of artworks, it is a useful and enjoyable text for researchers and students of postcolonial and postsocialist studies and also for art enthusiasts who take interest in the Eurasian borderlands.” (Fanni Feldmann, Hungarian Journal of English and American Studies, Vol. 25 (1), 2019)
