- Title
Tropen der Aufklärung: Postkoloniale Neuaneignungen.
- Authors
Wiemann, Dirk; Meyer, Tania
- Abstract
Postcolonial Theory has often been (mis-)understood as a full rejection of Western Enlightenment, with, several of the fundamental works summarizing the Enlightenment as being involved in projects relating to colonialism and imperialism. However, the majority of more recent positions have called for a more nuanced approach that would reappropriate the untapped potentials of the Enlightenment for postcolo-nial thought and politics. This article offers a reading of some of the most influential contributions to this debate within Postcolonial Theory.
