- Abstract
Although the history of colonialism, which is based on the orientalist discourse, goes back to old times, the colonial activities of the West have gained momentum since the 19th century. In a short time, Western states have mentally or physically colonized a large part of the world geography. The distinction between "superior and developed self" and "backward other" that the orientalist discourse reveals is the starting point of the colonial system. The colonized "other" is placed against the colonialist "I" by the method of domination. It is seen that the colonialist mentality does not only make a definite distinction by putting forward religious, ethnic and cultural differences between the colonialist and the colonized, but also applies to cultural assimilation by imposing "the superiority of the West in every sense". The colonialist-colonized relationship is based on domination, marginalization, inequalities and discriminations. The imperialist domination of the West is sometimes formed by forced acceptance and sometimes by consent. The marginalization and humiliation underlying the colonialist's attitudes towards the colonized points to the inferiority complex emerging in the colonized people and the psychological submission associated with it. It is seen that the colonized, who are in a psychological defeat in the face of colonialist attitudes, adopt the idea that they are weak and inadequate. This study analyzes the psychological defeats of the colonized people against the colonialists through the concepts of Malik Bin Nebi's colonizability and Bourdieu's symbolic violence. Both approaches draw attention to the inferiority complex developed by the colonized against the superiority complex of the colonial powers, starting from colonized minds. While it is claimed that the psychological damage caused by colonialism is based on the feeling of inferiority internalized, the dimensions of consent and voluntarism without imposition are expressed in the thoughts and behaviors of the colonized.
