IndexIn 'Theory In An Uneven World', Radhakrishnan argues that identifications that have been made between the post-coloniality and anti-nationalism require considerable refinement, particularly where post-coloniality seeks a return to indigenous traditions or pre-colonial history.This major intervention into debates about the postcolonial and the global proposes that theory should embody unevenness as symptom even as it envisions strategies to get beyond unevenness. Radhakrishnan's thought-provoking engagement with theorists and writers from around the world will fascinate readers across a wide range of disciplines. A major intervention into debates about the postcolonial and the global. Proposes that theory bear the burden of unevenness even as it seeks a way out of it - neither captive to the world as it is, nor naively credulous of visions of the world as it should be, theory argues for an ethics of persuasion that is firmly rooted in political resistance. Engages with a wide range of theorists and writers from around the world. Ranges over fields as diverse as critical theory, postmodernism, poststructuralism, postcolonialism, minority studies, cultural studies and anthropology. How can we handle the unevenness between the West and the Rest? How inevitable is the binary logic of winners and losers? How can theory help us resolve our ethical and political problems? Can theory help us think beyond the "winner talks all" model by articulating strong connections between ethics and politics? This major intervention into debates about the postcolonial and the global proposes that theory should embody unevenness. Radhakrishnan's thought-provoking engagement with theorists and writers from around the world will fascinate readers across a wide range of disciplines.Theory (Philosophy)PostmodernismPoststructuralismTheory (Philosophy)Postmodernism.Poststructuralism.140Radhakrishnan R(Rajagopalan),855363MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910830288903321Theory in an uneven world1909565UNINA
