The post-human condition in the contemporary phase of late capitalism, Braidotti contends, seeks a relationality, a connection with geo/bio/techno environments, that can lead ultimately to an ethical relationship with radical Others. She thus provides a framework to examine precarity and the possible solidarities through which a new ‘post-human' subjectivity and politics may emerge. In this article, I examine Arundhati Roy's novel The Ministry of Utmost Happiness (2017), arguing that Roy's literary practices consummately carve a space for this post-human subject and its relational politics. The novel's structure, according to Roy, is meant to mirror that of a sprawling metropolis in the Global South, where planned spaces are constantly ambushed by encroachments by the ‘surplus and the unwanted’. The novel thus spatializes both precarity and the embryonic communities that emerge teetering on the porous borders between life and death, human and non-human, abandonment and community. I explore this spatialization through two sites that are central to The Ministry: the borderland of Kashmir and the urban crannies of Delhi - Old and New - where Roy locates aﬃrmative alliances amid death and dereliction.","PeriodicalId":46334,"journal":{"name":"Postcolonial Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"380 - 398"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89711183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By focusing on Bong’s powerful use of space in science fiction films that articulate the question of the human and nonhuman other, I argue that spatial production has presupposed a self-image of ‘Man’ from the imperialist institution of geography to Anthropocene geology. Bong’s employment of abstract landscapes in cinematic space – the snowy landscape in Snowpiercer, the idyllic Korean mountains in Okja and the Han River running through Seoul in The Host – reflects how post-imperial space extends and transforms the construction of colonial space in the neoliberal age. The question of dwelling and co-dwelling then arises in the alternative imaginaries of multispecies existence in the era of the postcolonial-Anthropocene. Bong’s planetary landscapes thus challenge the framing of environmental problems in any single way and refuse to posit a single kind of humanity. This article urges one to rethink the question of ‘we’ and the meaning of dwelling within the Anthropocene/Anthropocentrism by synthesizing postcolonial and transnational perspectives on space.","PeriodicalId":46334,"journal":{"name":"Postcolonial Studies","volume":"8 1","pages":"417 - 432"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90134603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While settler-colonization is often attributed as the main cause of lateral violence, research has not examined what specific aspects lead to lateral violence in Aboriginal communities. In a qualitative study, using yarning and thematic analysis, 17 Aboriginal Australians (53% male, 47% female) ranging in age from 18 to over 60, discussed what they believed to be the causes of lateral violence. Knowledge holders identified historical and contemporary causes and perpetuating factors of lateral violence, all of which were related to settler-colonialism. These causes included living in a colonial society, native title, access and competition for limited resources, the process of obtaining confirmation of Aboriginality certificate, identity issues and internalized racism, past traumas, and returning back to traditional lands. Settler-colonialism is a structure through which lateral violence was, and is, allowed to flourish. Challenges to the settler-colonial system need to be made to effectively combat lateral violence.","PeriodicalId":46334,"journal":{"name":"Postcolonial Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"183 - 201"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75442470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Rwandan genocide is illustrative of this need, as a case which remains firmly rooted in identity categories that have been imposed on the native populations during the colonial era. The article traces the persistence of the colonial racial hierarchies in Rwanda and the role they played in the Rwandan genocide of 1994. It fosters a particularly significant focus on modernity as the symbolic line that divides the imagined racial categories in the colonial gaze, resulting in a crucial impact of nesting colonialisms in the genocidal rhetoric of the late twentieth century. The Rwandan genocidal project contains within it a desire to fulfil the promise of modernity by facilitating the emergence of an ethnically cleansed nation state, while simultaneously rejecting it as the heritage of violence ridden exploitation colonialism. This paradox of ambivalent modernity presents itself both as a crucial characteristic of the Rwandan genocide as well as a persistent rupture in the formation of contemporary Rwandan identities.","PeriodicalId":46334,"journal":{"name":"Postcolonial Studies","volume":"21 1","pages":"241 - 258"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83287889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
