PoliTeSse will welcome Professor Sandra Ponzanesi (Utrecht\u00a0University) for the seminar “Introduction to Postcolonial Studies”.\u00a0In this seminar we will make an overview of the field of postcolonial studies, which has been booming since the 1980s. What are the origins, major figures and concepts, debates and disputes of the field and where are we now? Do we still need postcolonial theory? What are the implication for gender studies? We will then move to contemporary intersections to show the relevance of the field in its many contemporary junctions. These relate to the relevance of postcolonial studies for the Italian context and the usefulness of the paradigm to connect to new emerging interdisciplinary areas such as cinema and (digital) media studies, environmental humanities, humanitarianism and conflict studies.
