Problematic Consequences of the Theoretical Evolution of Postcolonial Studies

Original language description

This paper does not attempt to present solutions to the currently debated problem of the continuing relevance of the Postcolonial Studies, but tries to open the Foucauldian "field of problematization? within the theory which is rather a set of various approaches than a consistent theory. It points out aspects of the theory as well as its methodology that lead to the questioning of its relevance in the twenty first century. There is a great need to rethink basic concepts like "post-colonialism?, "postcolonial? author, "counter-discourse?, and "First? and "Third? world that are no longer sustainable. The critical feature of postcolonial literary theory is its association with a particular historical period and specific political transformation of the world. Despite its direct connection to history, politics and economy, the preoccupation of postcolonial literary studies with epistemological and cultural questions still prevails.
