Subject: poco & writing/the literary


Hi,

I'm currently trying to work on the following topic. 
If anyone could provide any insight or suggest
readings, I would greatly appreciate it.

I want to examine how postcolonial writers (may
include fiction writers, poets, and theorists) look at
the very act of writing or concept of the literary. 
The point is to see whether postcolonial writers may
have shown an epistemological departure from modernity
via their practices/conceptions of writing--or,
whether postcolonial writers have shown an
ethico-political take on reality different from the
politics of representation that constitues many
colonialist writings.

I would be particularly interested in works in which
the narrator/author articulates his/her view on the
act of writing, or on the relationship between the
literary and community.  Either anglophone or
francophone is welcome.

Many thanks in advance!

DY
