Peripheralism and transnationality 3500-FAKM-PT
The course focuses on the analysis of peripherality and transnationality as two important concepts in the contemporary discourse of social sciences, with particular emphasis on the peripheral position of Poland in the global social and cultural constellation. A frequent objection to the contemporary classicist and creator of postcolonial criticism, Edward Said, is the limitation of colonial and postcolonial analyzes to the "First" and "Third" world, omitting the "Second" world, including Poland and other post-communist countries in Central and Eastern Europe. Peripherality is a construct that has obtained a discursive identity as something separate from the standard Western culture.
In this sense, peripherality is a system of ideological fictions, just like Said's Orientalism. Thus, it obtains a specific epistemological framework within which it becomes a geographical, historical, political, cultural, but also a sociological monolith, always in opposition to the hegemonic Western Europe.
