The appropriation of postcolonial models is becoming more complex and productive due to the fact that Russia and Poland have been perceived both as colonisers (of marginal regions such as the former Polish borderlands kresy, the Baltic countries, Ukraine or the Caucasus region) and as colonised (Russia in relation to the West, or Poland in relation to Russia, the Soviet Union or Germany).
At the conference, special attention is paid to phenomena of alterity, hybrid identity and language patterns, stereotyping, Orientalisation and mimicry as performed by literature. The presentations seek to gain insight into the literary poetics of (post-)coloniality, with topics such as the fictional constitution of identities, the fictionalisation of the subject of speech, linguistic hybridisation, stylistic mimicry, constructions of space and time etc.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
