Difference Between Postcolonial and Decolonial Theory | Understanding the Decoloniality |Podcast 009

Описание: What’s the real difference between Postcolonial and Decolonial Theory?
In this powerful episode of Decolonial View, we break down one of the most misunderstood debates in global thought. Both frameworks challenge colonial power — but they do so in radically different ways.

📚 Postcolonial theory critiques how colonialism’s legacy lingers in culture, representation, and identity.
🌍 Decolonial theory, however, seeks to delink entirely from Western epistemology and rebuild knowledge from Indigenous, subaltern, and Global South perspectives.

In this episode, we explore:

The historical roots of postcolonial theory — Said, Spivak, and Bhabha.

The rise of decolonial thinking — Quijano, Mignolo, Lugones, and Walsh.

How both shape our understanding of race, knowledge, modernity, and resistance.

Why decoloniality matters for reimagining the future of education, research, and culture.

🎧 Whether you’re a researcher, student, or critical thinker, this discussion will help you see why the decolonial turn is not just a critique — it’s a new way of imagining the world.

🧭 Key Themes:

Postcolonial vs. Decolonial frameworks

Coloniality of power and being

Epistemic disobedience and delinking

Global South perspectives on knowledge

Reimagining modernity and resistance
