abstract |
There has been much discussion recently about the future of postcolonial theory. Some
suggest that it is on the wane, while others defend its continued capacity for transformative
critique. This paper contributes to these debates by considering postcolonial geography's
future through the prism of ‘Rising Asia’. Rising Asia presents challenges to the
spatial matrices underpinning current thinking in postcolonial geography, particularly
the global South/North distinction and the histories of colonialism. What is the constituency
of, and the emerging collectivities around, Rising Asia? What are the tensions between
past, present and future in thinking about Rising Asia? We route our response to these
questions by conceptualizing postcolonial geography as a disciplinary performance
that draws on its subdisciplines. The argument is developed through three conceptual
hooks—field, constituency and temporality—drawn from a reading of Edward Said's works
<i>Beginnings: Intention and Method</i> (1975) and <i>On Late Style: Music and Literature
against the Grain</i> (2007). Ultimately we do not seek to set an agenda for postcolonial
geography; instead we suggest that greater attentiveness to the indeterminacies of
postcolonial theory as it passes into postcolonial geography might allow more generative
responses to the questions posed by Rising Asia. |
