What is Postcolonialism:
Since I claim to be a postcolonialism scholar, I think it is apt to include a brief description of my field of study. In my view, Postcolonialism ( also written as Post Colonialism or Post-Colonialism) is a dynamic field of literary study that focuses on the history of colonialism and native responses to the colonial policies and life after colonialism formally ends. The field of postcolonialism also offers insights into the literature and culture of the the former European colonies and their struggles after the end of colonialism.

Thank you for breaking this down! I'm taking a critical theory class but the readings are hard to go into without having any understanding of the concepts, it can be intimidating. This made a lot of sense though, and your examples were helpful. Now I will be able to make meaningful comments in my class's discussion. Thank you again!

[ayeshabarque]

Thank you for always simplifying concepts for both teachers and students of lit and cultural theory.

[odereading]

This explanation was quite comprehensive for me because I was having difficulty grasping the concept. Thank you.

[victoriamaxfield]

[bharathidilipan.t]

Sir any lectures about marx capital. What was marx predictions about automation ?

[aura]

Greetings sir. Is it true that there are no straightforward differences and similarities between postcolonialism and postmodernism but rather intersecting and diverging trajectories? I'm studying the topic of postmodernism and postcolonialism and I'm confused. Could you also list some literary works in the domain of postmodern postcolonial literature please. Your help is greatly appreciated doctor

[allaouddinkhan]

Sir, can you please recommend some novels which contain symbolic capital and symbolic violence.

[NaderNabilart]

3:39 I guess part of that symbolic capital of the expensive oxen can be transformed into economic capital too, lots of societies would spend lots of money for rights of breeding animals with preferable genetic traits.

[paceacademy]

Please recommend any good book for beginners to start Bourdieu.

"The only people who are worth listening to, in today's world of too much noise, are those who are willing to risk their social capital."
This is my reorientation of Hannah Arendt for the modern times.
