Trans-Modern Perspectives: On Imperialist and Anti-Imperialist Epistemological Visions
Marko Stamenković
; University of Ghent
Abstract
This paper assumes that a critical visual theory and, accordingly, the critical perception of the world at large, make part of the critical theory of society. In what follows, I will discuss their relation to the imperialist and anti-imperialist (visual) epistemologies in order to bring forward the need to look at the world from the viewpoint(s) of the ‘South’ – the place from which our contestation and decolonization of sovereign epistemic power must begin through plural and radically counter-hegemonic (trans-modern) perspectives.
Keywords
visual epistemologies; anti-imperialism; counter-hegemony; trans-modernity; the global South
