Decolonizing Post-Colonial Studies and Paradigms of Political-Economy: Transmodernity, Decolonial Thinking, and Global Coloniality
Abstract
Can we produce a radical anti-systemic politics beyond identity politics? 1 Is it possible to articulate a critical cosmopolitanism beyond nationalism and colonialism?Can we produce knowledges beyond Third World and Eurocentric fundamentalisms?Can we overcome the traditional dichotomy between political-economy and cultural studies?Can we move beyond economic reductionism and culturalism?How can we overcome the Eurocentric modernity without throwing away the best of modernity as many Third World fundamentalists do?In this paper, I propose that an epistemic perspective from the subaltern side of the colonial difference has a lot to contribute to this debate.It can contribute to a critical perspective beyond the outlined dichotomies and to a redefinition of capitalism as a world-system.
