Book excerpt: This dissertation examines colonial and post-colonial discourse in the works of Yom Sang-sop of Korea, of Chinua Achebe of Nigeria and of Salman Rushdie of Indian subcontinent. Since much of the critical attention on colonial discourse has been focused on western narratives, this study aims to shed a different light on the subject by approaching it from the perspectives of the colonized. The Introduction explains the term colonial discourse and provides theoretical, historical and cultural background to the three writers' worlds. Thus it aims to see the changes in colonial and post-colonial discourse along with these writers' responses to the representation of the Third World in western discourse. Chapter One explores the world of a Korean writer, Yom Sang-sop, in terms of colonial discourse by discussing his works written in the 1920s and early 1930s. These works (Mansejon, Samdae and other short stories) reflect contemporary Korean intellectuals' psychological topography as well as sociopolitical circumstances under Japanese Colonial Occupation. Chapter Two discusses Chinua Achebe. His works, though written in English, are widely considered as archetypes of modern African literary discourse due to his ingenious blending of African oral traditions with his English-language narrative in a western literary form. In the analysis of Things Fall Apart, No longer at Ease and Arrow of God, I focus on how Achebe presents the disintegration of traditional Igbo life as a consequence of European colonialism in Africa. Chapter Three presents the Indo-Pakistani experiences of post-colonial turmoil captured by Salman Rushdie. His Midnight's Children and Shame can be considered as sociopolitical satires about India and Pakistan after their independences as well as aesthetic experimental quests for achieving unity in form and content. Brief attention is also paid to his controversial The Satanic Verses. Rushdian visions are also filled with Indian elements and post-colonial western skepticism. In Conclusion, I mention the significance of these three writers' works as anti-colonial discourse. In the post-colonial era, the voices of the (formerly) colonized are "striking back" at powerful colonial discourses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book studies four novels by Chinua Achebe-Things Fall Apart, No Longer at Ease, Arrow of God, and A Man of People-so as to investigate how he has constructed his alternative discourse, a discourse which has been successful in providing a room where the colonized are given voices to speak and the reader has a chance to understand better their world and what they have confronted because of colonization. Since each novel focuses on a different colonial or postcolonial phase in Nigeria and Achebe has made use of different discursive strategies in each of them, it can be claimed that taking them as a tetralogy and studying them together can result in providing a vivid picture of Achebe's discourse and what his novels seek to mirror about the Nigerian hybrid identity and the colonized man's struggles in the way of dealing with 'otherness' and difference"--
Download or read book It s Madness written by Theodore Jun Yoo and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2016-02-16 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s Madness examines Korea’s years under Japanese colonialism, when mental health first became defined as a medical and social problem. As in most Asian countries, severe social ostracism, shame, and fear of jeopardizing marriage prospects compelled most Korean families to conceal the mentally ill behind closed doors. This book explores the impact of Chinese traditional medicine and its holistic approach to treating mental disorders, the resilience of folk illnesses as explanations for inappropriate and dangerous behaviors, the emergence of clinical psychiatry as a discipline, and the competing models of care under the Japanese colonial authorities and Western missionary doctors. Drawing upon unpublished archival as well as printed sources, this is the first study to examine the ways in which “madness” was understood, classified, and treated in traditional Korea and the role of science in pathologizing and redefining mental illness under Japanese colonial rule.

Download or read book Colonial Post colonial Paradigms in Chinua Achebe s Novels TFA AOG written by Amna Shamim and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a critical analysis of Chinua Achebe's magnum opus, Things Fall Apart and his third novel, Arrow of God. Both these texts have been read from the perspective of colonialism and post-colonialism. The novels portray the life of the Igbo people through their culture and traditions which were considered as barbaric by the colonizers. There had been inner conflicts in the Igbo society which resulted in the differences of opinion among the younger and the older generation of Africa; leading to the incursion of the colonizers. With the advent of the colonizers, this chasm between the old and the young increased drastically and slowly the natives fell prey to the craftiness of the outsiders.

This book was released on 2018-11-21 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chinua Achebe’s novels have always been read as texts from an erstwhile colonised African nation, interpreted within the parameters suggested by postcolonial theorists. The confines of postcolonial readings have raised questions about when the ‘postcolonial’ period would end, so that writers would no longer need to ‘write back’ to the empire or ‘rewrite’ their histories. This work explores how Achebe’s novels articulate his knowledge of his own people and the manner in which he participates in the politics of representation. He critiques the postcolonial methodology, and seeks out, recovers and provides an alternative narrative of the postcolonial experience and its aftermath, even as he seems to be moving beyond it. Achebe’s narratives do not conform to the postcolonial constructs of history as telling (rather than recalling) and of nations in terms of states (rather than people). Achebe combines the techniques available to historians (documentation) with those of novelists (the imaginative re-creation of events) for his fictional evocation of the past. He emphasises both the African artists’ role in helping to create a more egalitarian society and that of the act of storytelling as a shaping force in people’s lives. As he negotiates between his narrative form and realistic subject matter, Achebe puts forward a powerful critique of colonisation and its aftermath. Achebe represents a canonical voice in the emerging discourse of writers struggling to break free from the clichéd world of anti-imperialism and decolonisation.
