Description
For this final project, you will be creating a presentation over Postcolonial Theory. Initially,“postcolonial” was applied to literature originating in the waves of independence from previously colonized regions of the world (1950s–1990s). Nonetheless, the effects of those colonial relationships are still ongoing. An ethnography is a study of people and cultures. So, for this project, we will be studying the people of our 21st-century world. Think of it as an opportunity to display your acquired knowledge and push the ideas past our discussions of the literature
There are three parts that you must include in your Final Project submission:
Summary:
Provide a summary of postcolonial theory. What is it? What is it concerned with?
How is it a tool for looking at the world today? Why is it important? Consider when and how it emerged as a school of thought and give concrete examples to anchor your explanations. The goal of this section is to demonstrate your command of the theory and reflect on its intended purpose.
Reflection:
Choose the postcolonial theme that has most resonated with you this term. Discuss yourself and your experiences in relation to that theme. Be specific, taking your reflection beyond general observations. The goal of this section is to demonstrate in what ways the theories have been relevant to your life or have caused you to reflect on your experiences.
Application:
Locate two (2) 21st-century texts that you find promising for postcolonial analysis and perform a succinct analysis of each. Remember that a text is any cultural artifact. What themes emerge, and what are the messages about those themes? How does the theory illuminate your experience of the text? The goal of this section is to take the theory beyond the texts to identify how the concepts apply to the world around us.
