| Inhoud: |
In this article I give a Critical overview of various approaches that are collected under the term postcolonial studies, in order to raise some crucial topics of discussion concerning 'other' geographies under the process of globalization. I use the term 'other' in ironical and distancing quotation marks in order to criticize the very same process of making the 'other' First. I discuss questions raised by revisionist histories that reread modern architecture through perspectives informed by Orientalism and colonialism. Then. I make a distinction between two positions in architectural theory informed by postcolonial studies following either poststructuralist and humanist trajectories. In order to discuss the contributions and possible shortcomings of each. I focus on textual analyses of some key texts from both trajectories that are significant for the architectural discipline. The main question that differentiates the two, I suggest, lies in the possibility of constructing a non-Eurocentric definition of universality as opposed to a coexistence with respect to incommensurable differences. Finally, I suggest some further points of discussion, especially by proposing a dialogue between the studies of globalization and the postcolonial discourse. |
