Thinking Activity: Black Skin White Masks

 

Balaji Ranganathan sir started with human conditioning which does not allow The idea of ​​a new modern nation-state is being redefined. The state is a fixed geographical area but the nation is not a fixed entity. Is a nation Imagine. Periodically the visualization of the nation changes.

At the very beginning of the session or a lecture he throws some light on the different binaries between colonialism and postcolonialism.  where he talked  about colonialism and postcolonialism are itself is opposite things and it includes two main factors like he referred Ania Loomba's book

 The master then discusses the human will which can be positive or negative. There is a will Something that we have. Lack of will in philosophical terms tends to be good for the OS but in terms of psychoanalysis, if your will is not that dangerous. The notion of binaries should not be considered in postcolonial literature and black skin goes beyond the phenom binary in a white mask. This is in the text Mayotte, a black woman who wanted a white man because she lacked whiteness and could fulfill her desire with a white man. He did not get what he wanted. Sexual desire is never based on skin color. No matter the color, there is a biological connection that goes beyond color. Body-color is not seen as biological Cultural. There are two dimensions to a black man, first, he treats black, or second, he treats white. Is global in terms of sexuality, So there is no biological basis for sexual desire. Are hybridized in culture or in humans. The white man has a relationship with the black and thus the child there

Born as a hybrid identity this is all about the power game, why do we value white skin because once we colonize through white skin and this idea is still pending In our minds. Humans have a dependency complex, dependent on one another. Mayotte relied on White Man to free himself from social pressure. We Never think about Negro God, we have given special category and prayed to white god in the house. ‘Kali’ is not kept in the house. She is the goddess of Agori, also the black magician Praying for Kali. In this way, we have given a lower quality place to black. Sir has also discussed the middle class, which never comes out of the middle position Due to lack of revolution. There are a lot of authoritative things that Sir has taught.

 

 

"A settlement in a new country a body of people who set up in a new locality forming a community subject to 200 connected with their parent state the community is so formed consisting of the original settlers and their descendants and successors, as long as the connection with the parent state kept up" -Ania loomba colonial and postcolonialism Anya lumber view about colonialism and postcolonialism.

colonialism is a physical occupation of territory and postcolonialism deals with the effect of colonization on culture and societies.

 

Imperialism: The Oxford dictionary defines imperial as pertinent to empire and imperialism as a rule and an emperor especially when despotic and arbitrary. This word is coined by British prime Minister Benjamin.

Imperialism: it is a set of norms and laws disconnected with colonialism.

Post-coloniality: it is a mental condition which uniform of discourses.

Regarding this mention statement he added some historical contributors in his speech such as Edward said, Homi k Bhabha gaytri spiwak, Ranjit guava they were The scholars of colonial studies. They made a remarkable contribution in the concept of 

 

"HAVE OR HAVE NOT"

"SUBALTERN STUDIES"

 

For a better understanding of this aspect he presents very relevant example of early 19 century book "Empire Right Back by Bill Ashcroft" which defines postcolonial subject form at the moment of post colonial studies come to in practicality , time with creating a binary which makes huge difference like, 

 

Pre-independence -Colonial 

Post-independence- Postcolonial

 

 

 

New writings in colonial studies creates a change in sensibility in the world. It is has no clear demarcation of time  periods, but the change the sensibility towards post colonial studies is reflect economical state of particular country.  For putting premise towards periodization Ranganathan sir connect this with Indian reference of Gandhi and he said that Gandhi's "Hind Swaraj" or Indian home rule is the text of postcolonial time.

PROBLEM OF DARK (REDISH COLOR):

You may discourage of society over language, during the post-colonial reading the very question of WHAT MAKES YOU COLORED?  stands strongly and the hypothesis is that  it would be the CULTURE, LANGUAGE, GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATIONS, LEGACIES,RACES etc.
