課程大綱
作為一種智識訓練及針對當代文化與社會所進行之批判研究,後殖民研究早已在世界學術機構,尤其是在英文系裡,建立了紮實的基礎。然而,作為一種批判性的文化概念,「後殖民」一詞的定義在後殖民研究領域的學者之間,卻依然充滿爭議。「後殖民」一詞的複雜性源自於若干特定議題,譬如,當我們在探討異質性的殖民與非殖民的歷史實境時,是否可以將涵蓋性字詞「殖民」與「後殖民」視為二元對立、在時間上可明確切割的概念類別而加以支配應用?是否以往在政治上受殖民的非洲國家、澳洲、孟加拉、加拿大、加勒比海國家、印度、馬來西亞、馬爾他、紐西蘭、巴基斯坦、新加坡、南太平洋島國、斯里蘭卡、及美國,如今都可一併稱為後殖民國家?究竟後殖民是一種穩定的局面,或是隨時可能受到新帝國主義及新殖民主義威脅而改變的狀態?簡言之,何謂後殖民?在一個被廣泛稱為全球化的時代裡,後殖民研究究竟有什麼實際的功用?為了詳加探討這些問題,我們將研讀一些新近的文章,並探討文章作者在使用「後殖民」一詞時,其意義或假定的意義究竟為何?我們可能研讀的批評文章作者包括Edward W. Said、Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak、Homi K. Bhabha、Aijaz Ahmad、Anne McClintock、Vijay Mish
