Dr. Balaji Rang Nathan's lecture on post colonial studies.

Hello Everyone welcome to my blog!  

                                                    

Here I am sharing my view upon our 3 days (19th August to 21st August) journey of Prof. Balaji Rangnathan sir. Those days are memorable forever, we have learnt many good and new things about syllabus as well as outside world.

 Let's me ponder some glimpse of 3 days Amazing lectures.

On the 19th Aug, sir talked about the Concept of post colonialism and first unit Black skin White Mask. Firstly I was impressed by sir's tone or control, power on language. Sir has very good command and influency over the language. For a second I also wish to have a that kind of command on language. In very simple way, sir talked about Post colonialism and we understood . Then sir says about 8 chapter of the unit 1 ;

Chapters of the first unit

• The Negro and language
• The woman of colour and white man
• The man of colour and white woman
• The So-called dependency complex of the colonized
• The lived experience of the black man
• The Black man and psychology
• The Black man and Recognition

He explains important points like...

                         

Then on second day, Balaji sir dealt with another two chapters ;
• Orientalism by Edward said:

A Tempest by Aime cesaire :-

1) The Scope of Orientalism
2) Orientalist structure and Restructures
3) Orientalism Now

Next he talked about “ A Tempest” by Amie Cesaire and Explain Identity, bhuColonial resiontion ,Appropriation of Language, Term of Rebellion. In the last lecture sir talked on last unit Imaginary Homeland by Salman Rushidie. He explains this unit with interesting example and also talked about writer Salman Rushdie.

Here fanon is rising about binary. He says that it is good form to introduce a work in psychology with a statement of its methodological point of view. I leave methods to be botanists and the mathematicians. There is a point at which methods devour themselves .

Moroever, to understand A Tempest we have to first understand The Tempest by William Shakespeare, we have already gone through it in our class. Now, if we talk about Orientalism, it was a entire book on America and Arabic world. It says how to read postcolonialism. Orientalism asks how do we come to we come to understand people, strangers, who look different to us by virtue of the color of their skin? The central argument of Orientalism is that the way that we acquire this knowledge is not innocent or objective but the end result of a process that reflects certain interests.On the other side sir talked about reality of our life. What should do in further? Sir advised that never take shortcuts, always try to read original one. Try to crack such kind of exam and if u are not able to this then make new another way, don't need to stick with it or disappointed. Make your own way in which you are good and can achieve something. In our class mostly all students want to be professor, but sir said that it is not so that only Prof, is good job. There are many other jobs also. In reality we have to fight and face problems, society, all kind of circumstances . Accept the reality and be happy with whatever u have.They showed real face of world infront of us and we are going to peeped into it
