dc.description.abstract | Postcolonial studies have helped, in the field of historiography, to conceptually define modernity in a global sense, critically synthesizing the foregoing considerations concerning the historical narrative and the concept of subordination. In this sense, the postcolonial perspective attempted to recover the narrative of progress by changing its spatial and temporal structure, researching the history as a segmented reality alien to a linear and progressive conception of time (the impossibility and irrationality of the historical progress). Above all, it is mainly an observation of the possibilities and modalities of subaltern speech, its representation in a "hybrido language (external to that of the western academic world) and its definition as an example of an alternative modernity. This essay considers not only the "national paradigm as a verification of the postcolonial approach, for its central role in "Westerno history (the European Weltgeschichte), but it also shows its plural and flexible nature, able to integrate oral and written narratives and the different symbolical representations of the concept of identity. Postcolonialism will be evaluated as an innovative possibility, both in terms of the traditional debate associated to nationalism, between "modernisto and "primordialisto, as in the cognitive sense concerning the identity feeling as a timeless and cyclical phenomenon of human relationships.; Los estudios postcoloniales han ayudado, en el plano historiográfico, a definir conceptualmente la modernidad en sentido global, sintetizando críticamente las anteriores reflexiones referidas a la narrativa histórica y la subalternidad. En este sentido, la perspectiva postcolonial intentó recuperar la narrativa del progreso cambiando su especialidad y temporalidad, investigando la historia como una realidad segmentada, ajena, por lo tanto, a una concepción lineal y progresiva del tiempo (el imposible y el irracional del progreso histórico). Se trata, sobre todo, de observar las posibilidades y las modalidades del discurso subalterno, su representación en un lenguaje "híbrido " (externo al del mundo académico occidental) y su definición como ejemplo de una modernidad alternativa. El ensayo considera no sólo el "paradigma nacional " como verificación del enfoque postcolonial, para su papel central en la historia "occidental " (la Weltgeschichte europea), sino también para mostrar su naturaleza plural y flexible, capaz de integrar narrativas orales y escritas y las diferentes representaciones simbólicas del concepto identitario. El postcolonialismo será evaluado como posibilidad innovadora, tanto en lo que respecta al tradicional debate asociado al nacionalismo, entre "modernistas " y "primordialistas ", como cognoscitiva respecto al sentimiento identitario, corno fenómeno atemporal y cíclico de las relaciones humanas. | |
