Subject: Re: Why Throw Americans Out of Middle East... by Taliban


At the risk of being branded pro-American and pro-Jew and pro-Christian, I
want to make a few comments to the post by Taliban. Please pardon my lack
of appropriate jargon.

I agree that "the postcolonial is about attending to the social and political
>processes that struggle against and work to unsettle the architecture of
>domination established through imperialism"

But I do not agree with and do not feel there is any benefit to be gained
by continuing with the various dichotomies by Nationalities, colour, race
etc .... for want of better  terminology ... "deterministically essential"
by these markers. For to do so would lead to the conclusion that one is
conquered and the opressed becomes the oppressor and the dichotomy starts
all over again.

I am of the view that the strategy being pursued will only lead to
continuation of the binary oppositions. WIthin my own work I am
experimenting with the notions of Lefreve's (Soja) thirdspaces and Wilden's
"both and." I posit these two strategies not as compromises of the various
positions of the contestation but as alternate perceptions or conceptions
(not quite sure) criticing to underlying assumptions of the constitutions
of the various groups (e.g. are all Christians, Jews, American such
horrible people and all Muslims good?), contexts, concepts, value systems
and ways of doing. I realise in my work that a lot of this is abstract and
appear to be non-pragmatic but I feel out of theoretical framings line this
could come so more lasting solutions to the contestations and conflicts
rather than the strategy that has been used up to now wher the dominant is
replaced by the dominator etct etc.

I realise that this maybe detract from the realities ... comments.
