Hinweise: Postcolonial and feminist critical perspectives have emerged, since the 1980s, both as a development of and a corrective to the dominant poststructuralist and postmodernist approaches in literary theory. Given their initially textualist orientation and their extensive use of deconstruction methods, many studies in postcolonial and feminist critique have been accused of perpetuating Eurocentric perspectives that imply normative visions of the ‘self’/’other’, of critical practice, and of disciplinary standards.

Since the time of their emergence and establishment, within the Western academy and beyond, postcolonial and gender studies have developed into a transdisciplinary terrain, however contested its foundations remain. The critical transnational impetus of postcolonial studies has, moreover, proved to be vital for feminist research due to the growing awareness that it is hardly possible to write a history of gender relations in the West without taking into account that its very subject has been structured through the practices of colonial violence.

This workshop aims at discussing the possible critical tools, emerging at the interface of postcolonial and feminist critique, to study the global dimensions of social inequalities involving the paradigms of race, ethnicity, class, gender, religion, language, age, etc. and their cultural representations.
