- W2523200367 abstract "It isn't privilege or pity That I seek It isn't reverence or safety Quick happiness or purity But The power to be what I am/a woman Charting my own futures/a woman Holding my beads in my hand --Grace Nichols, i is a long memoried woman Introduction Afro-Hispanic and Caribbean women writers and activists are workers because from their frontier-like standpoint they support and encourage cultural interaction. They bring forward a coherent body of knowledge which fosters self-determination and self-representation. The paper will follow a context-based approach (3) since it offers ways of reading texts and cultures rooted in form of story, and in cultural expressions inherent to tradition out of which text grows, providing in many instances an oppositional reading, questioning conventions, and reworking European defining narratives. Both readers and literary/cultural critics need to chart a new path towards an epistemology of anti-colonial feminist struggle because women need concepts to question their reality and, as postpositvism reminds us, experiences count. Alexander and Talpade, both postcolonial and transnational feminist theorists aptly contend that critical tools are ways of reading our realities that produce liberatory knowledges which collective and self-determination for colonized peoples (1997, ix) because critical tools may have potential to contest already existing cultural paradigms in a dialogic fashion. The ethics of thinking should produce kind of knowledge which aims at decolonization in twenty-first century. As critics, it is our intention to explore both dialectic and dialogic immersed in relationships between old and new, colonial and postcolonial, in its humanist and political dimensions because we understand that these relationships and their dynamics will help us to theorize and better understand nuances of hierarchical relations across time and cultures in era of globalization. This paper will look at gaps, interstices as sites for creating alternative knowledge, theories that allow for construction of critical, self-reflective selves. As Alexander and Mohanty suggest, an active view of decolonization coupled with a sense of being part of collective feminist practice will enable readers to rethink and question patriarchal, heterosexual, colonial, racial and capitalist legacies in order to move forward in our lives as full agents of our struggles (1997, xxxiii), pushing further concept of decolonization by actively and consciously taking part in it and fostering a definition and vision of agency which becomes central to decolonizing process. Experiences do not contain meaning in themselves; rather, it is way that we interpret our experiences through framework provided by social narratives that govern our perceptions of how we live. The cognitive task of remembering means laying claim to a past and ultimately is developing capacity of feeling with others. Remembering is dependent on an emotional achievement, on labour of trusting oneself, one's judgements, and one's companions. This is why realist theory of identity helps to explain how we can distinguish legitimate identities from false ones because it accounts for cultural decolonization, which involves an interrogation of epistemic and affective consequences of our social location, of historically learned habits of thinking and feeling (Mohanty 2000, 63). Thus, there exists a need to theorize not only identity but also agency grasping agency, person's socially acknowledged right to interpret and speak for her/himself (Brent 2000, 229-50) is pivotal to achieve any degree of identity. Agency as the conscious and ongoing reproduction of terms of our existence while taking responsibility of this process (Alex and Talpade 1997, xxviii) understood from dialogic perspective of engaging world from its vantage point of view, makes wholeness--the dialogic interaction between self and other, past and present, possible. …" @default.
