The Coloniality of Perception: the Other as a Cannibal
Journal Title: Studia Europaea Gnesnensia - Year 2013, Vol 7, Issue
Abstract
The article addresses the problem of the coloniality of perception, or visual-semantic manipulation of racial context which accompanied the development of the modern/ colonial capitalism. in this regard, i demonstrate that the figure of cannibal as a cultural trope played a key role in the symbolic appropriation of the new World by the europeans, which paved the way for its military, political and economic conquest. by drawing on the source accounts, i show how the cannibal trope changed its geographical and semantic range, arranging the colonial discourse on the other.
