Abstract:
The objective of this study is to make a brief
exposition of the central theoretical axes of
post-colonial theory and world systems theory,
including an argument about their links to Marxism;
to analyze some hypotheses on a possible
philosophical and political basis for that link; and,
based on those premises, to try to apply that link
to a specific problem: the relationship between
certain cultural forms and the reconstruction of
collective “identities” in the context of globalization.
Keywords: Marxism. Post-colonialism. World
systems theory. Identities. |
