The Relationship

The author analyzes the relationship between post-colonialism and postmodernism on the basis of Egor Radov’s novel Yakutia. The two currents are interrelated and affect both the aesthetics and the structure of the works. Their Russian variants, due to their particular interpretation of the colonial issue, are very different from the Western models. Yakutia is an example of a postmodern novel in which the post-colonial context is a background for philosophical and socio-political reflections. The novel combines various motifs characteristic of the genre of dystopia, popular in Russian postmodernism.

The Relationship

This article discusses the relationship between Western esotericism and literature. As an example of a secular author who uses and benefits from esoteric texts, ideas and thoughts as resources in creating a literary artwork, the article analyses Laura Lindstedt’s novel Oneiron. A Fantasy About the Seconds After Death (2015). It contextualises the novel within the frames of Western esotericism and literature, focusing on Emanuel Swedenborg’s impact on discourses of the afterlife in literature. Laura Lindstedt’s postmodern novel indicates various ways that esoteric ideas, themes, and texts can work as resources for authors of fiction in twenty-first century Finland. Since the late eighteenth century Swedenborg’s influence has been evident in literature and among artists, especially in providing resources for other-worldly imagery. Oneiron proves that the ideas of Swedenborg are still part of the memory of Western culture and literature.

Post Colonialism

 This study aims to disclose the cultural reflection of post-colonialism in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby. This research uses analytical approach of post-colonial literature in the form of colonial behavior passed down to the weak, namely the colonized who consciously or unconsciously becomes the object of ideological oppression and power hegemony. The data collection techniques were reading, identifying, classifying, interpreting, inferring. The results of the analysis of  events in the novel suggest that the descriptions of the colonized  ideology are in the forms of hybrid ideology, mimicry, ethnicism, racism, sexism, and classism. The author describes that Gatsby has reflected ideology of hybrid, mimicry, racism, and ethnicism in his struggle to change his social status to be a rich man designated as the Jazz to attract Desy, his former girlfriend who has left him to marry Tom who has reflected ideology of classism and sexism to the colonialized native inhabitant.

Persian Translation

Abstract Post-colonialism and orientalism have inspired literary scholars to study various aspects of literature and literary translation in the post-colonial era. One of the implications of post-colonialism for literature as a discipline is the idea of cannibalism and cultural manipulation. This corpus-based study aims to analyze the notions of “cultural manipulation” or “cannibalism” in the Persian translation of Haji Baba by Mirza Habib Isfahani, to explore the translator’s strategy, as an intercultural mediator, in modulating the source novel’s colonial stance and adapting it to the religious, literary and cultural tastes of the Iranians. Our findings reveal that two main techniques—of omission and euphemism—have been applied in rendering the novel into Persian. Using these techniques, the translator has attempted to challenge the imperial stance of the main writer and come up with a version of the source novel which is much less insulting to Iranians’ cultural values. That is why this translation has been widely received as a literary masterpiece in Persian literature. One implication is that it might be claimed that cannibalism and cultural manipulation can be used to explain the trend of manipulating western literature in countries which have never been colonized, but that have suffered from the colonial stance of colonial writers.

Neste artigo, sustentarei que, no romance O outro pé da sereia (2006), Mia Coutoestá preocupado com os efeitos do“colonialismo interno” (Walter Mignolo). Nos começos do século XXI, no Moçambique pós-colonial, o empresárioCasuarino e outras personagens do romance são agentes da “colonialidade do poder” transnacional e neo-liberal. Utilizam o “pós-colonialismo” e a “raça” para perpetuar hierarquias, desigualdades e injustiças à escala local, nacional e global. Pelo contrário, Mwadia, que é uma personagem de “fronteira”, desafia simultaneamente o “colonialismo interno” e a “colonialidade do poder” independentemente das limitações raciais.********************************************************************Internal colonialism in Mia Couto’s O outro pé da sereiaAbstract: In this article, I shall argue that Mia Couto’s novel O outro pé da sereia (2006) deals with the effects of the so-called “internal colonialism” (Walter Mignolo). At the beginning of 21th century, in post-colonial Mozambique, businessman Casuarino and other characters of the novel are agents of the transnational and neo-liberal “coloniality of power”. They utilize “post-colonialism” and “race” to perpetuate hierarchies, inequalities and injustices at local, national and global scales. On the contrary, Mwadia, which is a character that feels herself in a “in-between situation”, challenges altogether the “internal colonialism” and the “coloniality of power” regardless of racial boundaries. Keywords: Mia Couto; Internal colonialism; Coloniality of power; Post-colonialism

O presente artigo analisa o romance Os cus de Judas, de autoria do escritor português António Lobo Antunes quanto à sua particularidade em estabelecer a construção de uma memória coletiva sobre a Guerra Colonial. Segundo romance do autor, publicado em 1979 em um contexto pós-colonial apenas quatro anos após a Revolução dos Cravos, a narrativa remete à abordagem da exploração da experiência do autor durante sua participação na Guerra Colonial, em Angola, no início da década de 70. Após a Revolução dos Cravos, em abril de 1974, a sociedade portuguesa tenta apagar o passado traumático ligado à guerra e ao Estado Novo a fim de iniciar um movimento de superação de seu passado problemático e aproximar-se da Europa. A produção ficcional apresenta-se como possibilidade de interpretação da dinâmica política e social existente na construção de um novo Portugal após a Guerra Colonial, a Revolução dos Cravos e a descolonização dos territórios ultramarinos.

The Relationship

Since the 1980s, feminism and post-colonialism began to exchange and dialogue, forming a new interpretation space, that is, post-colonial feminist cultural theory. There is a very complicated relationship between post-colonialism and feminism, both in practice and theory. It was obvious that they have always been consistent as both cultural theories focus on the marginalization of the "other" that is marginalized by the ruling structure, consciously defending their interests. Post-structuralism is used to deny the common foundation of patriarchy and colonialism—the thinking mode of binary opposition. However, only in the most recent period, Postcolonialism and feminism "Running" is more "near", it is almost like an alliance. (The factor contributing to this alliance is that both parties recognize their limitations.) Furthermore, for quite some time there have been serious conflicts between these two equally famous critical theories. They have been deeply divided on issues, such as how to evaluate the third world women’s liberation, how to view the relationship between imperialism and feminism, and how to understand that colonialists use the standards of feminism to support their "civilization mission." This article has greatly benefited from the perspectives and materials of Leela Gandhi's Postcolonial Theory; A Critical Introduction.

The aim of this paper is to highlight that Post-Colonial writers in English novels pay more attention on common themes such as emigration, independence struggles, allegiance, national identity, and childhood. This paper speaks about the heart of the darkness by joseph Conrad and a passage to India by E.M Forster and how the themes of these two novels deal with post- colonialism and the relationship between both colonizer and the colonized. It explains the world of colony and how it describes a group of people leaving their native country to settle in a new geographical location subject to, and how post-colonial theory is built in large part around the concept of otherness with its associated problems including doublings of identity, values and meaning of the colonising culture and resistance. The study tries to show how the apparent holy mission of the colonisers led to their own loss. It also gives how the coloniser’s characters are caught between inner moral pressure conflicts and social demands. Man, in a colonised country is also torn between the uncertain world and his dissatisfying home. The study proclaims how a personal dilemma is a true reflection of the moral hypocrisy. The study concludes by depicting how hypocrisy and moral duality lead the colonizer to lose their identity as well as explaining one of the problems associated with colonizer theory, the attempt to maintain a national identity.

Animal  characters  have  fascinated  viewers  as  well  as  readers  in  animated  as  well  non-animated  films  and  in  fiction.  This  unfading  interest  in  animal  characters  have  inspired  writers  and  film  makers  to  use  anthropomorphism  as  a  tool  for  breathing  life  into  flora  and  fauna.  One  could  observe  that  films  and  fiction  which  are  anthropomorphic  in  nature  focus  on  relations  between  humans  and  animals  as  well  as  between  weaker  and  stronger  animals.  A  hegemonic  relationship  could  be  seen  emerging  among  the  characters  thus  making  these  perfect  for  post-colonial  study.  In  post-colonialism  the  element  of  the  ‘subaltern’  plays  a  major  role.  In  all  of  these  works  the  relationship  between  man  and  animals  as  well  as  stronger  and  weaker animals  can  be  analysed  through  this   aspect  of  ‘subalternity’  since  the  latter  becomes  the  subaltern.  While  analysing  a  film  or  fiction  of  anthropomorphic  nature  as  a  subaltern  text  we  cannot  ignore  Antonio  Gramsci’s  theory  of  the  subaltern  since  he  used  this  term  for  referring  to  all  of  those  groups  in  society  who  were  suppressed  by  the  ruling  class.  DreamWorks Pictures’   Spirit:  Stallion  of  the  Cimarron  narrates  the  story  of  an  anthropomorphic  wild  stallion  who  saves  his  herd  from  being  destroyed  by  the  U.S  Cavalry.  Spirit  witnesses  two  contradictory  sides  of  humans  in  the  form  of  the  Colonel  who  commands  the  cavalry  and  a  Lakota  Native  American,  Little  Creek,  who  has  been  kept  in  captivity  at  the  cavalry.  While  the  Colonel  tries  to  suppress  Spirit  by  breaking  his  inner  ‘spirit’  and  transforming  him  into  a  beast  of  burden  Little  Creek  teaches  him  how  to  harness  his  unrestricted  energy  in  order  to  discover  his  inner  strength  whereby  which  he  breaks  down  the  supremacy  of  the  Colonel.  Thus  Spirit  symbolises  the  subaltern  hero  who  ends  the  oppressive  reign  of  the  Colonel  and  his  cavalry  upon  his  herd  as  well  as  the  Lakota  Native  settlement.
